3 Best Places To See in Abilene, TX

Excellent museum with great informative and interactive exhibits with an introductory video and immersive movie that causes you to feel almost as if you're experiencing the events. I spent a lot of time there and still did not finish viewing all of the rich history that is shared. But I am a history buff. They also have a nice gift shop with a great variety of items and gift options. The museum guides were also very helpful and welcoming as well as supportive in your enjoying your time there.

Fantastic museum! Fun and educational. I think my favorite part was the Experience theater, although please fix those squeaky seats! There were some that wobbled a little precariously when sitting down. Lots to see and read here, and the holographic figures are a fun addition. They do lend a sense of immersion to the entire experience. I would allot about 2 hours to fully read and see everything, and I believe they are adding on/expanding. I can’t wait to visit again.

Very fun and interesting museum. Lots of hands-on and interactive exhibits. Informative movies that are also fun. Outside has several cool statues for photos. Pretty fun time.

When we arrived here in 2011, we said that we were going to do the minimum time time and leave this place as soon as possible. Shortly after arriving, we were driving around getting familiar with the city and came across the Paramount. We loved the building, and we just had to visit it. We were amazed by it and thought it couldn't get any better. My kids fell in love with Indiana Jones because of the Paramount. We have watched all kinds of movies and shows. After every event my wife and I are like, there is no way that they can't top this event. We always task about the excellent job that George has done with the building, bringing different event abs even allowing the Scouts to manage parking. After the Randy Travis's concert, this time I'm sure that it will be hard to top that one but still. We are ashtrays looking forward to our next event. Best place in town. Thank you for keeping the history alive for those of us who are sentimental about it.

Exactly what I always wanted in a theater! Such a beautiful historical theater and events venue. They have great films each year as well as hosting plays, ballets and concerts. This year we went to see White Christmas on the big screen there and it was so much great fun! Families with kids all dressed up and meeting up with friends and extended family for the movie. Tons of seating as it has multiple floors. So there’s floor seats and various balcony sections. They have a concessions in the lowest level and the upper floor of one balcony has a small drink bar at many events. Always very clean and enjoyable venue. Some events are every year and so you may need to purchase tickets ahead and head there extra early to get close parking as well as preferred seating options. We are on the mailing list and we follow them on social media to stay up to date with their upcoming events. Totally worth it and important part of the local history to support.

What a wonderful venue. I love the history, hospitality and events. It is one of my favorite places in Texas.
