Get outdoors for a hike, bike or afternoon picnic with your kids and dogs at McAllister Park or explore the Salado Creek Trailway. Catch a live quarter horse race on summer weekends or a crawfish boil in the spring at Retama Park in Selma. Or, hit the tee box at Windcrest Golf Club, a nine-hole, par 68 course with more than 4,800 yards of tree-lined fairways. For family fun – on the land and in the water – visit Morgan’s Wonderland, a 25-acre fully accessible family fun park for those with and without special needs, and its new water park, Morgan’s Inspiration Island. Shop like a local at Cavender’s Boot City, then two-step the evening away at Cowboys Dance Hall or Midnight Rodeo. Explore Bracken Village for unique finds in restored historic structures of the Wiederstein-Burkhardt farmstead. For train enthusiasts, check out the Texas Transportation Museum, which features the largest public “G” gauge, or garden scale, outdoor railroad in Texas. When hunger strikes, visit local favorite Big Bib BBQ for a taste of the Hill Country. Or enjoy traditional pork tortas and sweet agua frescas, just like in Guadalajara at RO-HO Pork & Bread. Beer & spirit enthusiasts will love local spots like Islla Street Brewing, serving up “puro” brews and chill vibes, and Ranger Creek Brewing and Distillery.
