Meow Wolf The Real Unreal, Dallas, Texas

by Katie Wallace | Updated: July 15, 2024

We had a lot of fun visiting Meow Wolf The Real Unreal in Dallas, Texas. This immersive, multimedia experience is fun for adults and kids of all ages! We encountered something new around every corner, and the more we looked, the more we discovered.

We purchased tickets to Meow Wolf for our family of five. I’m excited to share our experience at Meow Wolf as creative content on Create. Play. Travel.

On the surface, Meow Wolf is a fantastic collection of bright and bizarre art. A tour through a seemingly ordinary house leads to an otherworldly dimension which creates more questions than gives answers. Families can spend hours at Meow Wolf exploring and looking at all the artistic details.

First I will say, Meow Wolf spared no detail on colorful visuals everywhere you look. The immersive experience is what sets this family attraction apart from others. I had never seen anything like it before. Upon entering a colorful storefront in the mall, this bright-yet-sinister mural greeted us at the entrance. Not knowing what to expect, we walked through a dark hallway into the main exhibit.

Meow Wolf introduces a story about missing persons and different dimensions of reality. The Meow Wolf Grapevine The Real Unreal experience in Dallas, Texas, presents visitors with a mystery full of clues and hints. What happened to missing family members who once lived in this house? Why are alien elements hidden among common household items? All throughout Meow Wolf, visitors can sift through clues on laptops, look for QR codes, and try to make sense of the wacky visuals to solve a mystery.

The front yard garden at Meow Wolf Grapevine The Real Unreal is fun to explore. A closer look reveals clues such as strange vegetables, curious details, and alien evidence. We thought the visuals were fun to look through. While a bit overwhelming at first, soon we got a sense of the mystery and could enjoy the experience as detailed as we wanted to.

Of course, our kids just liked exploring the house, which is set up as a maze. Closets lead to mysterious hallways, the clothes dryer opens to a slide, and several refrigerator doors offer startling revelations inside.

Inside an alien world! If you like sci-fi, Meow Wolf Grapevine The Real Unreal is a super fun approach to a immersive museum for all ages!

We walked through rooms crowded with neon art, which lead to a seemingly normal kitchen, despite creepy food inside the refrigerators.

Honestly, this description of our visit just scratches the surface. We spent about 3 hours at Meow Wolf Grapevine The Real Unreal and primarily enjoyed the visual art. Our kids enjoyed a high level investigation into the mystery. More serious visitors could spend several more hours unveiling all the dynamic elements and clues within this immersive, multimedia experience.

What do you think? Would you enjoy exploring this interactive art display?

Coming to terms with the past, and pressing forwar Coming to terms with the past, and pressing forward with grace, that’s all any of us can do.Lately, I’ve been asking myself some hard questions… especially when it comes to homeschooling.Here’s the truth:I can’t keep homeschooling the way I’ve been doing it.I’m not a teacher in the traditional sense, and I don’t love teaching. That’s not why we chose this path.The real reason we homeschool is because we want our kids to have freedom.🌟 Freedom to learn how to learn🩵 Freedom to discover what they love😀 Freedom to grow in diligence and live out their faith boldlyBut as I wrestle with our present, I’ve also had to face my past.I was homeschooled, too.There were a lot of blessings in that, but also some challenges. I grew up in a conservative environment where the focus was often on sheltering kids. And while I know that came from a place of love, it was hard. Especially as a teenager trying to figure out what I believed for myself.In our family’s younger years, our homeschool rhythm has been pretty relaxed, mostly workbooks and flexible days. But moving forward, things are going to look different.Here’s what I do know about the road ahead (and I’ll share more in upcoming reels):— We’re still homeschooling… just reimagining it.— We’re asking the Holy Spirit to lead our family.— Our kids know the Gospel, and that’s our foundation.— We want to live with intention and boldness.— We’re giving our kids space to try new things while they’re still at home.— I’m praying for a gracious heart when the questions come (because they will come).Maybe this resonates with you. Maybe you’ve felt that tension too, between what you grew up with and what you want to build now.If so, you’re not alone. 🫶🌟(continued in the comments)Follow our journey!

Throwback to a year ago. ❤️ We did it! 🥹😎 I had our baby in Merida MX and with some effort, we got her documents lined up to bring her home. She’s a dual citizen, with double US & MX birth certificates and passports. 🌎🌟It was a great experience! 😌🌄😍 We felt like God was with us, led us through the whole process, and provided for us so tangibly even in the small things. 💗🎬 Watch my YouTube video highlighting what we learned by having a baby in Mexico!🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#digitalnomads #birthingabroad #worldschoolingfamily #adventurefamily #travelwithbaby

Safety is a top priority when traveling with kids! Safety is a top priority when traveling with kids! 🌎🌟 We’ve learned a lot through our experiences. For example, when arranging a ride to the airport in Cancun, we followed these guidelines ⬇️1. We hired a driver through a company that had good reviews. This gave us peace of mind when traveling 4 hours across Mexico ☀️2. We told friends/family about our travel plans including when we left Merida and when we arrived in Cancun. This gave us some accountability 😃3. Finally, we trusted our instincts. We are continually growing in our travel knowledge and intuition. We often know when an arrangement needs to be changed. Often, we meet very friendly and interesting people!➡️ Would you take your kids on an adventure in Mexico? We had a very positive and memorable experience!! 🌴🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#createplaytravel #homeschoolfamily #travelwithkids #adventurefamily #worldschooling #kidswhotravel
