Another summer rolls around in Texas… you’re in Austin… it’s hot and you’re looking for a fun place to take the kids to cool off. On top of that, it would be nice if you could also fit in some fun and relaxation. Look no further than Typhoon Texas in Pflugerville!
Typhoon Texas was formerly known as Hawaiian Falls Pflugerville. It is located about 30 minutes north of downtown Austin, near the intersection of I-45 and SH-130.
Bandera Texas is called The Cowboy Capital of the World… and for a very good reason! It looks like a cowboy town!
Not a fake cowboy town with people wandering the streets wearing cowboy costumes…. No, Bandera Texas is the real deal!
Imagine this… It’s December and you’re standing on the edge of a pool, ready to take the leap. But wait a second, you’re thinking, it’s December. Nobody swims in December.
At Great Wolf Lodge they do!
There are many fun things to do in San Antonio Texas… from historic attractions all the way to fun water attractions. It is one of our favorite Texas vacation destinations.
It of course helps a lot that we live only about 100 miles away… 
So far, my family and I have visited the Alamo, the Riverwalk, Fiesta Texas (Six Flags), Sea World, and Splashtown. These are our FAVORITE things to do in San Antonio Texas – we’ve gone over and over!
If you don’t know much about San Antonio or Texas history, I can tell you that “San Antone” (as some locals call it) played a prominent part in Texas history.
You might not think there are many fun things to do in New Braunfels Texas since it is quite small.
However, my family and I were pleasantly surprised when we first visited New Braunfels.
New Braunfels has a rich German heritage, a famous water park, and tubing the Guadalupe river is great fun!
Our favorite things to do in New Braunfels are a visit to Schlitterbahn (water park) and tubing the Guadalupe river.
Why would there be fun things to do in Galveston Texas? Well, it’s an island in the Gulf of Mexico, and that spells FUN!
Galveston has nice beaches, a theme park, a water park, a museum, a nice shopping area, several restaurants, and plenty of hotels.
I like it that most of the fun things to do in Galveston Texas are also located close to one another.
That means you don’t have to do endless driving to get from one thing to another.
We have known about Hamilton Pool long before we ever went there. When we finally went there, I couldn’t believe that it took us so long to go. It is sheer magic!
It is quite easy to get to Hamilton Pool, and definitely worth the drive.
From Austin, go west on Hwy 71 for about 18 miles. Turn left onto Hamilton Pool Road and drive approximately 13 miles. The entrance is on your right.
This is a Travis County Park, so you’ll have to pay $10 entrance fee per vehicle.
Considering what you get, this is excellent value!
Do you also think Austin is only about UT, Longhorns, and state government? Some of those who haven’t been to Austin might think so. But you know what… there are a bunch of fun things to do in Austin Texas! With an active music scene and big events like Austin City Limits and Rodeo Austin, Austin … Read more
We moved to San Antonio (with the Army) from Illinois in 2010. We had talked about going to the coast (South Padre) for a while but never did until this past weekend.
We went to South Padre Island with our 89 pound dog and we were able to get a condo right on the beach. When we opened the living room and bedroom doors, there it was.
Have you ever thought of taking a kayak tour to see the Congress Ave bats? This is exactly what we did… take a kayak tour on Lady Bird Lake!
We met up with Casey, our Live Love Paddle tour guide, at Joe’s Crab Shack on Riverside Drive. After a little review on how to kayak properly, he sent us off and told us he’d meet us at the bridge.
