They specifically seek out a number of family and kid friendly events to bring each year, many with greatly reduced ticket prices for families and schools.

7. Lake Tejas - Colmesneil Tx. This SETX summer favorite offers a great value for families looking to cool off.

11. Heritage Village - Woodville. This is a very detailed recreation of a historic East Texas town complete with a first class restaurant (The Pickett House) serving homestyle meals (think all you can eat fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, biscuits, collard greens, and cobbler). The general store is known for local pottery, art, quilts, and hand made goods. Highway 190 West just outside Woodville. Heritage-Village.org.

12. Spindletop Museum – Beaumont. Young or old, you’ll enjoy this recreation of Gladys City, the original Texas oil boomtown.
