You know here (and everywhere else, too), it’s been always stated that in Texas, you either would wish to go big, or go home. But, wait a minute, what if there’s Lyft calling you over the phone, telling you, “Your driver’s just arrived”? Without further ado, here are the best things to do in Texas, curated by Lyft!
Explore space in Space Center Houston
Ah, the birthplace of Queen Bey herself, Beyoncé. In Houston, you’ll find the Space Center Houston – what else, really?
Located right at the heart of NASA’s spaceflight program, this is a must-visit for fans and enthusiasts of space exploration. This place features over 400 artifacts and numerous interactive exhibitions. Learn about NASA’s history and their current work.
Plus, there’s also a tram tour you’d want to check out, which takes you around the real site of the Johnson Space Center, including the original Mission Control room and some BTS look at the astronaut training facilities. Authentic and for real!
Look back at the Spanish colonial past at The Alamo
This time, let’s head over to San Antonio. It’s full of history here. The Alamo is a former Spanish mission church 189 Texans fought and lost their lives in 1836 during a 13-day siege by Mexican ruler, President Antonio López de Santa Anna. This fight urged Texans to struggle for independence. Today, the Alamo serves as a tribute to these fighters.
Inside, you can explore the 1700s church and visit the Long Barrack where the likes of Crockett and Boone made their last stand. You could also visit the Alamo Exhibit where you can peruse the rifles, cannonballs, and uniforms displayed there. Sounds like a good idea? Call your friends today!
Relax at the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens
No, you don’t have to be a vegetarian to enjoy the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. But, it’s full of plants, as you can see. This nationally-acclaimed park features a breathtaking floral display all-season, all-year-round.
Nestled on the shores on White Rock Lake, the Arboretum was among the “most breathtaking gardens in the world” by architecture media. During summer, the park conducts this outdoor concert series, featuring water displays and floral displays.
Take your invigorating stroll along the River Walk
No, you’re not in Orlando, so don’t be mistaken. Neither are you in Louisiana, but there’s a good, fine River Walk in Texas, too, located in San Antonio. Also referred to as Paseo del Rio, this 15-mile-long river walk offers self-guided walking tours, bike tours, and riverside tours that will showcase the prettiest cypress trees, shops, museums, hotels and of course, Tex-Mex restaurants.
After you’ve eaten, you might want to join the hop-on, hop-off cruise, which passes by iconic spots, such as the Arneson River Theatre, Marriage Island, and the San Antonio Museum of Art. Don’t miss the action here whenever there are festivals and holidays!
