This is a small, local operation. When you go, don't expect fancy, just go for the fun that you will have with others. It's not the biggest or the best, but it's clean, great staff, and cute atmosphere.

This park is perfectly shaded with multiple seating areas for parents that are in the shade - what a concept, right? There's ducks and a pond that is very nice and entertaining. The neighborhood it sits in is safe and quiet. There's also a huge covered pavilion. I really love this park!

My wife and I canoed Section 2 of Village Creek. This is the shortest of the four sections Eastex offers. My wife is not very comfortable on the water and quite afraid of a number of wild critters. We both enjoyed the trip thoroughly. The creek was calm with many sand bars on this section -- some with a little shade, which we took advantage of to enjoy the lunch we packed. Since we went during the week, we had the creek to ourselves. We heard thunder in the distance from afternoon scattered storms, but we didn't get rained on. All-in-all, a great time.

I didn't go to the museum. I just came for the Roadside America Dalmatian fire hydrant attraction! Most definitely worth the stop! So much so that when we came through for our Florida trip we stopped again to bring my eight year old niece. She loved it. So did the teens in the car who didn't want to stop.

This private nature preserve has walking trails that exhibit a wide variety of species thriving in the arid sandy soil ("sandylands") In May, we saw lots of small blooming plants, Long-leaf pines (rare these days), birds and butterflies.
There is no fee charged to enter this Texas Nature Conservancy nor is a reservation needed to enjoy the trail(s) during daylight hours. I believe guided walks can be arranged through their local office (call). We highly recommend joining the Nature Conservancy Membership for nature lovers or anyone interested in saving these last few great places on Earth.

If it is a Hot Day/ like in the 90 degree mark, Skip It because you will literally MELT.....But it is so Awesome to play on. And they do have Snacks and Lunch time items! The put put is the only part that is outside where it's a great way to have Fun only if the weather cooperates with you. The humidity in this town is Awful....which makes it miserable and seem hotter than it normally is. Use Sun Screen!!! The rest of the place is inside and Air Conditioned which is a big Yeah. It may be more of something you can do in the evening's so that you will for sure Love this Place... Jewell

Great Mall for just spending the day with teenagers! I feel safe letting them go off on their own for an hour or so, then check back in with me! But most of the time we walk around together, or enjoy a meal or snack in the Food Court! Lots of great stores, Maurice's, H&M, JC Penney and Sephora, and the list goes on!

Nothing spectacular, but a little bit of history in Beaumont. Not much to see, but love when they have a special event there and families want to come out and see it.
