Food Scene
There are tons of BBQ places in Texas, but this is our favorite. The place is small and rustic and the food is amazing! The zoo is also within walking distance, so you can burn off all the calories you will be eating!

Spend the day tubing down the Guadalupe river - bring some snacks and drinks (alcohol IS allowed on the river!). Several miles of river with some fun spots that have rapids. We have plenty of tubes to share also, so you don't need to rent/buy those. One fee and you can go multiple times until it gets dark. Great way to cool off and relax.
