Conveniently tucked in between San Antonio and Austin, the McKenna Children's Museum is a wonderful place for hands-on learning. Kids are sure to find something to do no matter what interests them; they can pretend to be astronauts in Destination Space, build forts in the outdoor Imagination Playground, or create artistic masterpieces in the Art Studio. The museum also often hosts activities, which are typically included in the price of admission. A small cafe serving kid-friendly food is open at lunchtime, but if you'd rather go out for lunch and come back, admission tickets are valid for the whole day.

McKenna Children's Museum, 5503, 801 W San Antonio St, New Braunfels, TX 78130, Phone: 830-606-9525
