Family Travel

Big Fun, Big Memories

Texas delivers unforgettable family adventures—ranging from splashy fun and interactive museums to easygoing beach days. In San Antonio, families can glide along the River Walk, explore the historic Alamo, and discover exotic animals at the San Antonio Zoo. Kids will love the interactive exhibits at the DoSeum, or venture just outside the city to marvel at the Natural Bridge Caverns.

Next, head north to Arlington, where thrill-seeking families can spend the day at Six Flags Over Texas. This amusement park features roller coasters, kid-friendly rides, water attractions, and live entertainment, making it a favorite for all ages.

 

On the Gulf Coast, Galveston Island offers a relaxing seaside escape. Families can explore Moody Gardens, home to an aquarium, rainforest pyramid, and 3D theater. Nearby, the beaches along Seawall Boulevard provide the perfect setting for building sandcastles and splashing in the surf. Further south in Corpus Christi, the Texas State Aquarium adds another memorable wildlife experience to round out the coastal adventure.

Whether it’s building sandcastles on the Gulf Coast, learning history at The Alamo, or exploring dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park, Texas offers families countless memory-making moments at every turn.
