  • 3. South Padre Island

    Adventure lovers love South Padre Island’s white-sand beaches and the many jet skiing, surfing, fishing, and dolphin watching opportunities. For high-spirited fun and to let the kids burn off energy, head to the exciting Schlitterbahn waterpark.

Things to Do During Your Family Vacation in Texas

Things to Do During Your Family Vacation in Texas

Kids love vacations in Texas. The Lone Star State’s large ranches, culinary delights, and plethora of attractions promise fun. Go on adventure tours in canyons, spot Texan wildlife, and soar through the air.

  • 1. Kemah Boardwalk

    Spend a sunny afternoon with the kids as you explore the Kemah Boardwalk, where shoreline restaurants and thrilling rides await. Braver older kids can ride the 65ft Century Ferris Wheel, dare the 140ft freefall on Drop Zone, or zoom around on the Bullet, a wooden roller coaster.

  • 2. Wyler Aerial Tramway Tours

    Visit El Paso’s Franklin Mountains State Park and ride the Wyler Aerial Tramway. Pass through the canyon on a 2,500-long gondola line to spot intriguing rock formations, natural cacti gardens, birds, and reptiles.

  • 3. Joyland Park

    Fun and thrilling rides are why many families flock to Lubbock’s Joyland Park. Teenagers love the challenge of the park’s Grizzly swinging gondola, or the free-fall from the Dare Devil Drop tower. There are also rides to accommodate younger guests. Later, treat the family to a tasty meal in one of the nearby restaurants.

  • 4. The National Butterfly Center

    Admire the sublime blend of colors at the National Butterfly Center in Mission. The sanctuary's wealth of butterfly species flutters around the flowers grown in the conservatory. The 100-acre center includes a butterfly-decorated picnic area and cocoon inspection tours.

  • 5. The Sixth-Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

    Learn about the life and assassination of John F. Kennedy at this Dallas museum. Get a peek at American life during the 60s as you walk around the museum and explore the audiovisual displays.

What to Pack for Your Family Vacation in Texas

What to Pack for Your Family Vacation in Texas

Packing everything you need for your vacation in Texas ensures you have more time to enjoy the rides, water parks, the great outdoors, and beaches.

  • 1. Clothes

    As Texas’s weather tends to vary throughout the year, you’ll want to pack accordingly. Its hot and humid summers call for light clothing such as T-shirts, shorts, comfortable shoes, sandals, socks, and swimwear. Although Texas experiences mild winters, you may want to bring heavier clothes such as gloves, hoodies, jeans and pants, waterproof shoes, scarf, and gloves.

  • 2. Cash and credit cards

    Whereas credit cards are widely accepted in Texas, you may still need to have enough cash for meals, entry to attractions, car rentals, and shopping.

  • 3. Electronics

    You'll likely want to bring your phone or tablet to access music and social media and keep in touch with people back home. Remember to bring a portable adaptor, earphones, and of course, a camera.
