Texas and Kids Were Both Made for Adventure
If your weekends are a series of lengthy To Do lists, mundane chores and endless sports games and birthday parties, you definitely need some adventure in your life. If you spend all your time trying to figure out where to go and what to do, you definitely need Texas Kids Adventures.
As a lifelong Texan with a heaping dose of curiosity, discovering new and unique places to go in my home state is never finished. The Great State of Texas has everything you could want: mountains, oceans, deserts, canyons, caves, lakes and rivers and so much more. We have the best food and music scene, small town charm and wide open spaces. Texas pride is as bold and big as the state itself, and for good reason. With hundreds of thousands of square miles to explore, there are thousands of kid-friendly adventures. Kids are naturally curious, and Texas invites you to follow the footpath, climb the rocks, swim in the ocean, bike the trails, kayak the rivers, and view its magnificence.
But where do I go, what is a must see, and what will the kids enjoy? Compare several Texas travel guidebooks and you will find the same repeated information focused for adults. There is a tiny section at the end that lists kids museums, zoos or amusement parks. Texas has so much more to offer! Travel review websites are loaded with repeated information. Over 18,000 reviews on the Alamo….who’s reading all of those?!
Texas Kids Adventures combines the very best of what you would find in guide books, review websites, and travel magazines to give you researched travel on exactly what you need to know about exploring Texas with kids. Curated travel. Unique experiences. Off the beaten path. Kid-friendly.
Have a little pirate in your house? Well you should definitely take them to the sword-fighting pirate dinner cruise in Post Isabel. Your kids think they are the next Wild Kratts? Then take a behind-the-scenes tour at the Dallas Zoo with a zookeeper, spend the night at a Fossil Rim cabin among the wild animals, or witness the sea turtle hatchling release in the summer at Corpus Christi. Get the kids up close to animals and no longer looking through the glass for unforgettable memories.
I have learned that kids with special needs often stay home because of the unknown. There is no reason to stay home when you discover a special needs amusement park in San Antonio or wheelchair-adapted zip lines flying across Palo Duro Canyon. I will feature locations that are great for special needs, and list accommodations for each adventure.
Texas Kids Adventures was created to bring together my curiosity in discovering new places, my love of the outdoors and nature, photography, travel, and telling others about unique places we have been. When talking with other parents, I discovered there are so many kid-friendly things to do in Texas that nobody knows about. Whether you were born here or got here as quickly as you could, you can spend decades exploring Texas and still never see it all.
Texas and kids were both made for adventure, and I hope this information inspires your little ones to become curious explorers and lifelong adventurers.
