The Train Heist was the second room we have experienced at the Fort Worth location. Both it and the Pirate Adventure were a lot of fun. Puzzles were engaging and just difficult enough. We really appreciated fact that when you reserve a time it belongs to your party alone. Only the person who made the reservation can add participants. Highly recommended!

I love this place! My kids love this place (8 and 11). We go a couple times every year. Been going for 30 years and my 80 year old grandparents went when they were dating! Yes it is a little expensive but worth it because there are high standards of appropriate family friendly behavior. They take safety very seriously. Definitely recommend for awesome family fun! And the bathrooms have always been clean which is a huge thing for me.

This little gem was found while walking away from a conference this spring. It is a large outdoor water garden with use of stone, trees, cement, sculpture and water to create playful art. It reminded me a little of Frank Lloyd Wright style in the use of these natural elements to create beauty. This is a area that you can enjoy day or night and with adults or kids. Their are interesting features, and often birds taking part o the water features, the kids found it nice to have a little area to stretch their legs while the parents enjoyed the sites. I have been here twice, once with kids and once with spouse, a great place for a little peace and interesting scenery.
8. Vintage Flying Museum

If you're a hard-core aviation enthusiast this is museum is not to be missed. They have roughly 20 planes in the collection but the exact number of planes present will vary from week to week since most are airworthy and fly to airshows during the season. Hint: During the winter most of the aircraft are in the hangar for annual maintenance, but if you want to hear they run try warmer weather. This is not a "polished floor and velvet rope museum". It's an operational restoration center, restoring and maintaining historic aircraft. The benefit is that you can get up close to many of them and talk to the people working on them. Some may even offer to let you peak inside. This is a good museum for kids that are interested in aviation. My 7 year old granddaughter loved sitting in a jet trainer cockpit simulator and crawling through a Navy bomber in the back yard. Another thing that makes this museum different is that the museum staff and the aircraft crews will answer questions and put the exhibits in context as the roles they played in history. Also many aircraft models and artifact exhibits. Be sure to check their hours and days of operation online before you go.

This was an awesome and informative self guided museum and tour. Despite being self guided, there were docents available to answer questions who were very friendly and helpful. As a “heads up” you can’t bring your cell phone or camera on the tour and it requires a tram ride from the visitors center to the tour location.

If you lived in Fort Worth years ago, chances are you rode a “trolly” from a large parking lot underground to Leonard’s. They had everything in several buildings in downtown Fort Worth.you can see many items from Fort Worth’s past along with photos collected over the years by one of the Leonard Brothers daughters. While there, grab a tasty hamburger in the adjoining room.
