A gorgeous, historical park! With fewer tourists than the city attractions, you can enjoy a beautiful peaceful afternoon (and get some nice pics), while learning in nature. My kids are always looking for the peacocks that roam around.

One of the most unique destinations in Texas. Restaurants, shops, history! Make sure you take a river boat tour—I’m a local and I always learn on that tour. The kids will love it!

Caves kind of freak me out, but my family loves this place. It really is a fun field trip, especially if you’re talking about fossils, or geology. Take a jacket because it gets really cold down there 🥶
