Things To Do In Texas After Fishing & Hunting With Guide Tye Grissom
Explore the Best of Texas Beyond the Outdoors
After you have fished & hunted with Guide Tye, here are some fun options for the whole family to enjoy in the Lone Star State. Texas offers a rich blend of history, culture, nature, and unique attractions that make it perfect for continuing your adventure off the water and field.
Discover the Heart of Texas Culture in Austin
Located just a short drive from Lake Travis, Austin is a must-visit for anyone exploring Central Texas. Known as the "Live Music Capital of the World," the city offers nightly performances in venues ranging from small bars to outdoor amphitheaters. Stop by South Congress Avenue for boutique shopping, quirky art galleries, and local eateries, or explore Zilker Park and Lady Bird Lake for kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing in the sunshine. If you're visiting with kids, the Thinkery—a hands-on science museum—is a fantastic option for learning through play.
Step Back in Time in the Texas Hill Country
For a slower pace and scenic views, head into the Texas Hill Country. Charming towns like Fredericksburg, Wimberley, and Dripping Springs offer an abundance of local wineries, distilleries, and craft breweries—many of which are family-friendly. Enjoy a self-guided tour of the area’s historic German architecture, or visit the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park to learn about the 36th President of the United States. If you're visiting in the spring or fall, the Hill Country is also famous for its wildflower fields and vibrant foliage.
Enjoy Family Fun at Theme Parks and Water Parks
Texas is home to some of the country’s best amusement parks. Families can cool off at Schlitterbahn Waterpark in New Braunfels, or enjoy high-speed thrills at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. For a more relaxed day with the kids, the Austin Aquarium or San Antonio Zoo offer fun learning opportunities and close encounters with wildlife. These attractions are great add-ons after a few early mornings of fishing and hunting.
Visit State Parks and Natural Wonders
Texas boasts over 80 state parks, many within a reasonable drive from Lake Travis and Taylor. Pedernales Falls State Park and Inks Lake State Park offer hiking trails, swimming holes, and picnic areas perfect for a laid-back day with the family. Want to see something truly unique? Head to the Inner Space Cavern in Georgetown—a limestone cave filled with stunning stalactites and stalagmites. Guided tours are available and suitable for kids and adults alike.
Tour Historic Sites and Museums
Dive into Texas history by visiting iconic sites like the Alamo in San Antonio or the Texas State Capitol in Austin. For military and aviation enthusiasts, the Texas Military Forces Museum provides a deep look into the state’s involvement in major conflicts.
