6 Free Things to do in Brownsville That You Shouldn't Miss
At the mouth of the Rio Grande delta and the southernmost tip of Texas, Brownsville enjoys the perfect combination of casual southwestern charm and bicultural diversity. Its position just across the international pedestrian bridge from Matamoros makes it a good base for day trips to Mexico, or for just enjoying the Tex-Mex culture of south Texas. Warm Gulf breezes, blooming bougainvilleas, gently waving palms, soft white sands and friendly, diverse locals make this city a semi-tropical paradise.

What a nice stop for history buffs or those nearby who would like a little walk. I really enjoyed it! The visitor center is closed (of course...), but park folks are on site to provide guidance and literature. The layout is simple and convenient and the story is balanced and told very well. On a beautiful day, it is a peaceful walk from display to display as you learn not only about the battle that took place here and the political context, but the flora and fauna.

It was our first time here so we didn't know what to expect. We were very pleased. There's plenty of free parking. The booths are covered which was great since it poured rain while we were there. Will help in the summer too. It's got about anything you're looking for from food to pets. Prices are good. We had a lot of fun just poking through the booths. There are public bathrooms.
