With its spectacular natural beauty and rich culture, Texas offers endless fun for the whole family. There are hands-on kids' museums galore, with popular options including the the Children’s Museum of Houston and the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, but you can also bring the whole family to the Fire Museum of Texas or the International Museum of Art and Science. If your kids are animal lovers, you might prefer to visit the Franklin Drive Thru Safari or head to one of the state's many excellent zoos.
