Go Two-Stepping at a Historic Dance Hall
Pronounced “green,” the Gruene Historic District was once home to German settlers in the early 1800s. Today, the area is home to the famous Gruene Hall, the oldest dancehall in Texas where music legends such as Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and George Strait have played. There’s live music every night here, so grab a pair of cowboy boots and hit the dance floor. gruenehall.com, 1281 Gruene Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78130

Float The River

Try Wakeboarding at Texas Ski Ranch
Thrill seekers should head to Texas Ski Ranch, where you can wakeboard (with or without a boat), wake surf, play paintball, or do axe throwing. Those wanting to wakeboard without a boat can use the cable park, where you’re pulled across the water by a cable. Beginners can learn to ride on the ‘Lil Bro or by taking a private lesson, and advanced riders can challenge themselves with rails and kickers.
