Children are naturally drawn to anything that’s larger than life … so plan a Texas vacation and blow them away with all the kid-friendly activities in this enormous Southern state. Potential activities include touring the Alamo in San Antonio, go on a public art walk in Austin, hit the Texas hill country to see the bluebells or watch a rodeo for a family getaway. We love this mix of nature-based offerings, like horseback riding, state parks and national parks, with options like the space center and amusement parks. Yeehaw! And that doesn’t even touch on the biggest metropolises, Houston and Dallas. Texas also has miles and miles of sandy beaches along the Gulf Coast (including Corpus Christi and South Padre Island) that families love. The hotel and resort offerings are just as robust — kid-friendly amenities include onsite water parks and swimming pools with lazy rivers, family-themed suites and more. If bigger is better, then vacations in Texas are simply the best for family fun.
