1. Landa Park

4.5 based on 574 reviews
Park that features paddleboats and train rides; great for families.
Reviewed By kotam32 - Pearland, Texas
We searched for the top things to do with kids in New Braunfels and Landa Park came up. My kids loved the train which was only $3/rider. My daughter loved it so much she went back for another trip. It weaves through the park, highlighting all the areas. We tried to rent the paddle boats but it was an hour wait. There were three separate playground areas for the kids. Plenty of space for my son to start a pick up soccer game. Although we didn’t use them there were several pavilions to rent with grills. There is an aquatic complex that would be great during the summer. One of the pools is even spring fed. It the perfect place for my two kids to get outside and play after being in the car all day.

One of many parks located on the shores of Canyon Lake.

Easy drive to the dam headquarters with picnic area, etc. The restrooms are filthy, so plan to leave the overlook area for facilities.

My husband, a friend and I went to Blue Hole Regional Park in February. We were very pleasantly surprised at the 126-acre park along Cypress Creek. It has about 3.5 miles of hiking trails, picnic areas, a community pavilion, playscape, basketball court, sand volleyball court, amphitheater, and the Blue Hole Swimming Area. The swimming area was beautiful. Swimming is allowed during summer months and there is a fee during the summer. Be aware they might start a reservation system this year to keep the crowds down. Go to CityOfWimberley web site for more information (cost & rules). We will be back for sure.

Reviewed By JChapa - Edinburg, Texas
It's your road side biker bar ambience. It has that "smokey filled bar" appeal with dim lighting. The Biker Burger combo hit the spot! The bar keep provided good service and was friendly. Picked up one of there Riliey's on the Backbone T-Shirts will I was there. Good place to hangout with the boys, a few couples were present.

A former ghost town that offers a General Store and souvenir shops as well as THE Gristmill and Gruene Hall.
Reviewed By kaaate7 - Liverpool, United Kingdom
Visited for the day from New Braunfels (which only cost $6 in a taxi). This is a lovely, quaint town to wander around in. The general store is worth a visit but we loved the dance hall. The show that evening was sold out but on a Sunday afternoon it was lively with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Great place for having a few drinks and people-watching.

Rented a 24 foot Pontoon boat from the Marina.. Was a bit concerned after reading some
negative comments. However I was very pleased with their service. Had a great day on the Lake, until we had this glitch.. The boat refused to start. We were at 2 hours into our trip, when it happened. Stopped at the Beer Can rest area for 10 minutes. A great guy in another pontoon towed us back to the Marina. Mechanic was still working on it when we had to leave. We were only charge for one hour plus gas. We were more then happy with that.

500 of us came together to celebrate our year together. There was a great band in a large indoor hall. Plenty of outdoor picnic space. The food (ribs, chicken, steak, corn, beans ) were all tasty.
They had two long horn bulls that you took photos with.
They offered hayride tours of the property showing parts of the huge working cattle ranch. It's impressive. If you have the opportunity to visit, do it.
8. The Heritage Museum of the Texas Hill Country

This is a small museum with an amazing attraction. In the gift shop/office, we were given a story of the dinosaurs that lived in the area and the types of tracks we would see. She even showed us a black rock that scientists have confirmed was 110 million year old dino poop. Thankfully my fingers didn't smell after touching it.
Our guide then walked out with us and showed us the dinosaur tracks uncovered when the owner wanted to level out some of his land.
She then left us to explore on our own and when we climbed the stairs we could see and imagine dinosaurs walking across the flat surface.
There was also Texas Hill Country history with an old post office and the history of the Canyon Lake Dam.
Outside there were old farming equipment and other historical pieces.
A really interesting place.

It’s always a pleasure to go fishing with Barry, he is very kind and really helps to enjoy the experience. This is our second time we have him taking my wife and I to fish, we were having a hard time to catch bass and...MoreYour comments are very kind and I certainly appreciate the feedback. Working as hard as possible to put fish in the boat is always my goal; no matter how hard the circumstances. Barry

Boardering Canyon Lake, this park offers many lakeside activities.
Reviewed By Brian F
My family of 5 use to to frequent this park along with 2 other trailers. The park was awesome until the latest flood. Upon getting to the gate on Friday morning to snag 3 spots the rude gate attendant with the white beard acted as if it was a hassle to let me see what they had available. During the stay he drove around and a couple of times got out of his LOUD truck to walk around to different camp sites which made it a little uncomfortable as to what he was doing. On r last night we had a nice fire and were listening to the radio at a very low volume he drove up in his LOUD truck that we could clearly hear over our music and yelled at us very rudely to it down. I don't think we will return for a while, he made it very unpleasant.
