Hannah King: A great little museum with a cool little gift shop, if you are looking for stickers, ornaments, shirts, magnets or other McAllen souvenirs this is a great place to visit. While here take a look at the museum also which is also very informative of the area.
Joni Lemieux: Paths around the park are very walkable. You will be greeted by ducks, many ducks. It was closed when I was there, but I imagine it is packed during the summer with families.
Arcelia Caudle: Beautiful sunsets at this park I love how clean it is, pet friendly and familys all gathering doing BBQ I stayed till 10:30 pm and the water still going not sure why people were leaving at that time I like how family friendly is.
Dennise Sanchez: This place is so adorable and we didn’t even knew it was there until we got the opportunity to participate in this amazing event they do every year called Monarch Fest. We were glad that we were part of the vendors this year. It’s a beautiful place to all the family to enjoy. The house is full of history, I’m sharing a photo of the original owners face sculpted in a square of the front door. The the original wood on ceilings, the floor, the gardens and plants, the bird singing… it feels like you are in another place and era. We were in our booth and we saw a small snake crossing in front of people from one side to the other. I really want to thank the people who work preserving and taking care of this place Definitely you must visit this place and enjoy the different activities they have in their calendar.
Draven Tyler: Aside from the occasional drug deal, restroom fight involving high schoolers, and a random vagabond standing by the bench watching your kids play it’s a pretty neat little park. The turf is a big plus so it’s perfect for toddlers. The breeze is great, plenty of Sun and the close proximity to PD headquarters quells the previous concerns to a certain extent. Plenty of grassy fields nearby also.
Reuben Reyes: Nice small museum that focuses on art and science. This museum has rotating art and photography exhibits that change every 3 to 6 months. Many of the areas inside are interactive and are great for learning especially kids. Some of the areas are huge science play scapes. They have smaller rooms with live animals that are brought out to interact with the public. I saw several enclosed exhibits with rocks, minerals, and gems. I was impressed with science on a sphere theater. For large groups of kids they have an outdoor area with sculptures and picnic tables. Lastly they have a nice gift shop. I very much enjoyed the experience and exhibits here.
Steeve: Very nice Memorial to visit. It was a good surprise, it’s huge and with a lot of historical information in a small city like McAllen.
I highly recommend it to go with your children and teach them some history.
