Reviews
"What a disappointment. Very small area to look for birds. We're charged $2 each to see an informational 15-minute film which was very "chopped" during the last five minutes. Upon leaving, asked the woman at the entrance desk where the restrooms were and she said outside. Upon getting the buildings (M & W), the doors were padlocked. Had to go back to ask to get them unlocked. After waiting for her to find the keys and open them, we found no toilet in any of the stalls and no soap at the sinks. Don't go -- you'll be disappointed."
"It's a very interesting place with so much history. It is a nice peaceful place."
"The place is small, historical, and beautiful. It's a good way to learn about the history of Hidalgo. Because it's such a beautiful spot, it's a great place to take pictures. Be aware, there is a fee to take pictures if you're a photographer. As a photographer, it's a good spot."
"This place isn't kept up as well as it should in the landscaping department. Needs more attention. Years back, they invested more time and attention. I haven't seen the creek working for ages, and the weeds at times are way overgrown besides a few ankle breaker holes here and there. I am not sure why they now keep the door closed to go to the wooden deck to observe part of the Rio Grande River, but thats another story, guessing because bikes go through there, but who knows. Inside, it is nice and shows old memories and the history of the Rio Grande and the old Pump House."
"Went for the event "Halloween Nights of Terror." The place was great for pictures but no vendors were open. It says the event is 6p-10p, we got there before 9p. The only attraction was the hunted house and 2 small vendors with jewelry. I'm sure it's awesome once all the vendors are open to the public."
