10 Places to Visit in Texas in 2018
I have lived in Texas all of my life, except for one year. There are so many places to visit in Texas! I have gone to Six Flags over Texas, the Inner Space Cavern, the Magnolia Silos, the Dallas Zoo, the Fort Worth Zoo, the Capital, the Riverwalk, the Alamo – so so so many places – but there is still so much to do!
For 2018, I wanted to create a bucket list of the things I want to do in Texas. Although there are so many things, I wanted to limit it to just 10 (for financial and sensible reasons of course)!
Some of them may seem silly, but as a native Texan, they have always been on my list!
Here are my 10 places to visit in Texas:
Family Business Beer Co.
As a major Supernatural fan, I have to visit Jensen Ackles’ new brewery. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. This is going to happen.
I honestly know little about it, except for that Jensen Ackles owns it. That’s honestly all I need to know – besides that it is outside of Austin.
Shiner Brewery
Speaking of breweries, one beer, in particular, changed my outlook on beer. This beer is Shiner.
I have always wanted to go on a tour of their brewery, but their times are so weird! I am going to make time to go this year!
Enchanted Rock
I love the outdoors, but I hate snakes. So this creates a lot of mixed feelings for me, and I end up being too afraid of going to beautiful places.
NOT IN 2018.
I am going to finally conquer my fears and go camping at Enchanted Rock.
Barton Springs Pool
Barton Springs is a pool fed by natural spring water in Austin. It has an average temperature of 68-70 degrees, ideal for year-round swimming.
It is fed by the Edwards Aquifer – which I have visited.
Dinosaur Valley State Park
Okay so this is cheating – I have been here when I was little. However, I can’t remember any of it!
I would love to go walk where the dinosaurs have walked!
Mother Neff State Park
This place is right in my area, and I need to see it! I follow their Facebook page, and I am always amazed by all the creatures they find!
The Last Drive-In Picture Show in Gatesville
This isn’t the actual last drive-in picture show, but it is in my area, and I have always wanted to go!
It is also something my mom has always done, so I am thinking it’s something to do when they come visit!
The Branch Davidian Site
This one is a given – I live in Waco, and I am in news. I honestly don’t know why I have not gone there yet.
This is the site of the Waco Siege at Mount Carmel.
Go on a Texas Wine Tour
I don’t have a particular wine tour in mind, but I love beer as much as wine, so if I go to a brewery tour, I have to go on a winery tour.
Visit the Authentic Czech Bakery in West
I have been to the touristy part of West, Texas – but I haven’t gone to the real deal yet. I heard that if you venture a little into the city, you will find authentic Czech food!
What are some things you have always wanted to do in Texas?
I’ve never been to Texas, but Enchanted Rock looks amazing! I had no idea Texas was so beautiful and green – thanks for sharing!
