| There
are so many intriguing
choices for those of us who'd like to head out for adventure in the morning, and arrive
comfortably back at wonderful Wimberley at night!
Whether you're living or visiting here,
it's nice to know that within an hour's drive of Wimberley the unique Texas Hill Country
world opens up and offers a variety of special interest options. Wimberley
is fortunately situated almost equidistant from the culturally-rich cities
of Austin and San Antonio, and there's much in between too good to miss.
Just 20 minutes away in San Marcos take in
the many shops at the Factory Outlet
Mall. A visit to Wonder World will make the whole
family happy. Southwest Texas State University and Aquarena Springs also call San Marcos
home. You can even rent a tube from the San
Marcos Lions and cool off in the
beautiful river.
New Braunfels, with an
historic German heritage,
is just a 25-minute drive away. The Guadalupe River there is one of the most
popular places to get wet in Texas...rent a tube and enjoy the ride. More
water sports await you at Schlitterbahn. The New Braunfels Factory Outlet Mall is a shopping
thrill, and don’t forget... Weihnachtmarket at Christmas time is not to be missed!
Some consider Wimberley a far
suburb of Austin, our beautiful state capitol, which is but
a 45-minute drive away. Visit the newly renovated and expanded capitol building open
all year. Click
here for tour details.
A visit to famous 6th Street for
exciting live music and night life is a must for music lovers of all kinds.
The
University of Texas campus is right in the heart of the city, with
resources and museums. The Austin
Children's Museum always offers new
and interesting activities for the little
ones.
San Antonio, one of the six most unique
cities in the USA, is only 50 miles southwest of Wimberley and filled with southwestern
charm. History buffs won't want to miss the Alamo and the Institute
of Texan Cultures and the annual
Texas Folklife Festival. The River Walk is
worth a trip in itself. Take the kids (or
the kid in you) to Seaworld, Fiesta Texas,
or the San
Antonio Zoo.
