Lesser Known South Texas Spring Break Destinations

It's almost time for Spring Break and here are a few ideas that might be a little out of the box.  Check out these lesser know day trip ideas within driving distance from Victoria. We have left out the big theme parks and waterparks because almost everybody knows about them.

TEXAS STATE AQUARIUM: 

Sometimes people tend to forget about this one right up the road in Corpus Christi!  The Texas State Aquarium will be open from 10-5 during Spring Break Week. Maybe it's time to take a trip to Corpus Christi. Get more information by clicking here.

ANIMAL WORLD AND SNAKE FARM:

It is located just north of San Antonio on IH-35!  “Snake Farm” has been one the most prominent must-see attractions in the San Antonio/Austin area. It was established in 1967 However, it is not as well known as it should be!  Check out an extensive collection of snakes, reptiles, and other exotic mammals.  It is definitely a place that I would recommend going especially for animal lovers.

ZDT's Amusement park is located inside the Seguin city limit and even features a switchback roller-coaster. Alongside the roller-coaster, it also features go-carts, a swinging pendulum, a drop tower, a water coaster, and an awesome arcade.  I have been there with my son before and it's a great day trip that ends with a little Bill Miller's and a trip to Buc-ee's if you use IH-10.  Take a look at some of the awesome attractions below: Learn more.

NATURAL RIDGE WILDLIFE RANCH IN SAN ANTONIO:

Witness the behavior of over 500 animals from more than 40 different exotic, native and endangered animal species from across the globe. Grab your safari hat, and join us for the adventure of a lifetime ⁠ from the comfort of your car.  The safari trek covers over 6 miles and takes most visitors 1-2 hours to meander and enjoy. With ranch admission, visitors can take multiple treks—which is highly encouraged. Here is one tip I learned the hard way: DO NOT FEED THE OSTRICHES FROM YOUR HAND!  Get more information by clicking here.
