Fan of the Houston Texans? During your time in the city, make for Space Center Houston and learn why Houston is known as Space City. Here, you’ll find more than 400 artifacts, as well as exhibits and the largest collection of moon rocks on public display. If you fancy yourself a lover of the arts, don’t miss spending time in the Houston Museum District, home to The Museum of Fine Arts, The Houston Zoo and Houston Museum of Natural Science. For good eats and drinks, consider Space City Birria Tacos and More, 11 Below Brewing, 93’Til, and Amedeo’s.
Between time spent cheering on the Aggies, head over to George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and explore exhibits on American history and the life of the 41st president. Dig into the area’s agricultural roots at The Gardens at Texas A&M University, The Farm Patch and Royalty Pecan Farms. And wine lovers won’t want to miss a stay at the award-winning Messina Hof Winery and Resort, where wine tastings, winery tours, culinary experiences and events are on deck all year.

Dallas-Fort Worth
Tour the home of the Dallas Cowboys with behind-the-scenes access to its headquarters and practice facility, The Star. For a day of museums and galleries, pop over to the Dallas Arts Districts, which spans 20 city blocks. And for an experience of the Old West, Fort Worth Stockyards features daily cattle drives, rodeos, museums and honky-tonks.
Home of the Texas Longhorns, this lively city boasts more than an energetic football team. Known as the Live Music Capital of the World, you can jam out at any number of venues like Moody Amphitheater and Far Out Lounge & Stage. Or attend Austin City Limits Music Festival, held during peak football season on back-to-back October weekends. Soak up the sun at Barton Springs Pool, hike to the top of Mount Bonnell or kayak the waters of Lady Bird Lake. And for some of the best barbecue, why not hit up some local joints like KG BBQ, Franklin Barbecue and Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ.
