The tour was great; very informative and extremely well done. This Arlington secret needs to be advertised more and needs assistance from the city of Arlington or local charity to help support it financially. There is a ton of history that needs to be documented and preserved for the future just like museums all over the country. There is also a ton of additional history underground that needs to be uncovered. This requires money. Wake up Mayor! Wake up City Hall! Provide some assistance and/or help find an organization that will.

Top place to visit in Arlington, hands down! An amazing tour filled with the rich history of prohibition, a hidden casino and a bible college that youd never realize Arlington had hidden away. Famous people known to visit like Bonnie and Clyde, Ginger Rogers, Sinatra, John Wayne and many more. Hidden secret tunnels that they even havnt discoveres, flip around rooms, amazing personal testimonies. You have to check this out!

Highly recommend this tour for all history buffs. Tour guide Vickie Bryant provides a colorful glimpse into our city’s past. We loved every story, image and artifact!

Very interesting and informative about Arlingtons past. Gambling, casino, hidden get away tunnels, well know people, to Baptist college! Well worth the time and price of tour from Mrs. Vickie Bryant.

Lovely place

This is a MUST-VISIT if you are in the Dallas/Fort Worth area! Very worth it. Informative. I can only hope that this place can get more funding to uncover more of the incredible history!

If you are visiting Arlington, this is a very interesting tour about prohibition and gambling with a slide show and a walk around the grounds.We were lucky enough to get in for our tour on our last day in Arlington. Vicki was very informative and has done a lot of research to be sure all her information is accurate.It was very cool that everything was tied together with visitors coming in sharing stories and keeping history alive. This is an important piece of history that Arlington needs to be sure continues! Thank you Vicki for your hard work and dedication to Arlington history.

Visited to take pictures of where my dad went to seminary back in 1964-1968, and stumbled upon Ms. Vickie Bryant who kindly invited me to tag along on a tour that she was giving a womens club. Im 39 yrs old, and not only did I hear tremendous history of where my dad went to school, but also learned so much of how this became an historic landmark. Ms. Vickie has some stories of famous celebrities that are confirmed to have visited the site when it was a high-end casino, along with underground tunnels and rooms that were used to escape police. she shows the facts and artifacts to prove it. Very interesting! Well worth it, especially for me to better connect with my dad and understand the times that he grew up around. known as Vegas before Vegas. from poker to preachers. To God be the glory!

Wonderful history of Top of the Hill from Gambling to Baptist College! Great tour & informative talk... Hope to return when restorations have happened. A must do/hidden gem, if in area!

Vicki Bryant did an outstanding job of telling the Top o the Hill tale. Informative and fascinating.

Fascinating piece of hidden Arlington history. Tour guide mentions too often how much her religion should prevent her from talking about drinking and gambling. And how telling certain stories would guarantee her being killed by the Mob. (If thats true, just keep it to yourself!). But. Truly interesting history going on at Top O Hill Terrace, and she tells a completely engaging, if monotone, story.

A must see! Very interesting and informative tour. Vickie did an excellent job presenting the information.

Great Historical information that you would easily miss if you weren’t looking for it.

Very enjoyable tour! Mrs. Vickie Bryant was very knowledgeable and informed about the history of this place!! Awesome to see how far this land has come and be able to see some of the tunnels

Very, very interesting tourist attraction. So much history and the tour guide was fabulous.

The tour consisted of watching an hour long presentation and about a 15 minute tour. I wouldve learned more by watching a documentary on the PBS channel. Along with not being very engaging, the presentation was very much the Baptist Church patting them selves on the back for buying and ending the casino, and encouraging people to pat them on the back to. The actual tour consisted of going down a hall way on the side of the hill, which was about 20ft before you have to turn back around and go back out. After that was the courtyard with a fountain, and a hokey magnetic trick by the tour guide, where when walking over certain spots the magnets would move around. Even if it is actually magnetic and not the tour guide moving their wrists, it wasnt that impressive. I very much believe the tour guide is blinded by their own excitement. After these 3 quick spots, they proceed to talk about other tunnels and things, but dont even bother to show them, in fear of harmful gasses.I really think that there is more to this place and that it has potential, but for Petes sake! Be more engaging! Dont just brag about yourselves the entire time! Im not here to be indoctrinated into the Baptist Church! You have potential to be more engaging and more exciting but youre very much limited by your own inability to humble yourselves!

Vicki Bryant, curator of the museum, creator of this magnificent tour, must be commended. She has dedicated herself to the research and the forming of the Top O Hill museum for many many years. What she delivers is the best dog & pony show of this historical place, it is a must experience for all that love to soak up the quite unique happenings that went on during the 20s & 30s up on that hill ! I wish I could give you ten stars. Thank you for such a memorable day. !!

Great campus with a ton of history!

Fantastic presentation of Arlingtons hidden history.

Very interesting place with all the mystique and aura of a bygone era.. Nice presentation in which youll learn all about the secret gambling operation and all the famous people that visited the place to have some illegal fun.. the place has a long history that is well explained and shown by the guide and you will have the chance to see the secret rooms and passages that were used to thwart and fool the police in case of a raid..very affordable and is a must if you visit Arlington as is considered the #1 spot to visit in the city... Enjoy...

“Mystic Gambling”The presentation was most enlightening and incredible to believe the celebrated guests, gangsters, and gamblers that frequented the establishment. The great lengths that were taken to thwart the police and FBI were quite unique. While the presentation is almost 2 hours, there is a short break and it is very interesting information. Then you take a short walking tour outside.

Cool fine place

I loved to learn about the historial aspects of Top OHill, but in terms of scenic view I found the place a bit disappointing. Probably a much better site to visit during spring or summer time.

It was fun to visit it was also an inexpensive way to spend the day and learned some interesting facts as well

A fascinating story!

We enjoyed our visit to the Top ‘O Hill Terrace.

Nice city view, quiet place

Its not a casino its a school
