Hight rate 3 location for tourist in Andrews, TX, USA
06-2025 B & B Park in Hight rate 3 location for tourist in Andrews, TX, USAMuseum of East Texas - Lufkin Heather Russell: Ive only been twice, and both visits have been amazing and completely different experiences. My first visit was to see the childrens artwork. AMAZING! The 2nd visit was while the Founders art was being put up. And I got to meet the president of the Guild and several other founders/guild members! Along with a guided tour of the art they were putting up. That was priceless and a memory I will hold forever. The museum is free, theres a donation box at the entry and cute small gift shop also. My only suggestion to the museum is to please offer art for sale, possibly in the gift shop? Even prints of some of the more popular pieces would be amazing!
They allow photography, but as always, ask if there are photo protected pieces on display during your visit.
There are several benches throughout, and sketching is encouraged. There is also a fully stocked art room that looks to be set up for classes or day camps. Ample parking. Wheelchair friendly. Clean bathrooms. Water fountain for drinking.
Naranjo Museum-Natural History - Lufkin Kate Trent: We were so surprised how many wonderfully different exhibits they had in such a small place. Great place for people that love to learn more about dinosaurs and Vikings and the medieval times, etc. Not too overwhelming, either!
Ellen Trout Park - Lufkin Kelly Jenkins: Love walking around the pond when the weather is nice. My toddler is just learning to walk and loves playing in the park at the end. The fishermen are always so nice in the mornings and the joggers are always polite. Kiddo loves waving at the train too.
Fulton Mansion State Historic Site - Rockport Maureen Gray: This was an amazing tour! We are somewhat local, but brought an out of town guest to visit. The mansion tour is self led, however there is a docent on site to get you started and give you basic information about the mansion.
Word of caution to those with mobility issues- there is a steep staircase to get to the basement, to get to the first floor, and to get to the second floor. There appeared to be a chair lift to get you to the first floor, however it was inoperable on the day we went. In viewing other reviews, it appears it has been inoperable for quite some time. I advise you to call before visiting to see if they’ve gotten it fixed.
All in all, this was a very interesting tour, I learned a lot, and would highly recommend it!
Bay Education Center - Rockport Charles Young: Very nice little interactive gallery of coastal ecosystems and wildlife with a really cool 3D model of the planets. Our kids had a great time doing hands on tasks including knot tying and "digging" for clams. The "planet room" consisted of 4 ceiling mounted projectors aimed at a central sphere that resembled each planet with animation and recorded info that played while you sat and watched.
Goose Island State Park - Rockport Bo Hundt: We love it cant wait to come back. Very clean well taken cared of. Wooded camp sites very private and secluded. DEER Everywhere. Fact is it saw more deer than anything else. Fishing was good wrong bait Im sure would have been dolphins but not when were fishing had one stayed at pier entire night. All in all one of best state parks we have visited. And dont forget to say hello to the big tree.
Texas Maritime Museum - Rockport R F: Volunteers, Richard & Alice, friendly, talkative,( because of me). Museum was great & learned something. Participate in the activities. Does not take much time & adds to the aviance. FREE & Donations accepted.
Vintage Air Tours-Rockport - Rockport Dan Hogan: A very good pilot with a good four passenger plane working from a modern well maintained facility with ample free parking. Ben is highly experienced pilot who pays paticular attention to plane and passengers. His preflight walk around highlights the depth of his aviation knowledge to put you at ease pre flight and while airborne.
Rockport Beach Park - Rockport Kelsie Pell: Very family friendly beach. The beach is clean and well kept. We went in the evening and it was quiet. We were hoping to see some crabs but didnt have any luck. Lots of jellyfish so be aware.
