In fact, New Braunfels holds a special place in our hearts, and we wanted to share some of the wonderful places that make this neighboring town so charming.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, New Braunfels offers a variety of activities and attractions that reflect its rich history and vibrant culture. Here are some of our favorite spots that you shouldn’t miss:

Step back in time with a visit to the Gruene Historic District. This quaint area is home to charming shops, antique stores, and the iconic Gruene Hall, the oldest continually operating dance hall in Texas. It's a great spot to soak in some local history and enjoy live music in a truly unique setting.
3. Landa Park
For a serene escape, Landa Park offers picturesque scenery and a range of outdoor activities. With its lush greenery, walking trails, and the beautiful Comal River running through it, this park is ideal for a leisurely picnic or a tranquil afternoon spent by the water. This park is a family favorite.
If you’re a fan of fresh produce and local crafts, the New Braunfels Farmers Market is a must-visit.

It’s a great way to support local businesses and enjoy some fresh, delicious treats.
For families with young children, the McKenna Children's Museum is a fantastic destination. With interactive exhibits and engaging activities, it provides a fun and educational experience for kids of all ages. Paige has fond memories of working here and where some of her best friends have been made and still appreciates the value of places like McKenna that make a difference in our community.
History buffs will appreciate a visit to the Faust Hotel, which has been a cornerstone of New Braunfels’ history since the 1920s. This historic hotel offers a glimpse into the past and is a wonderful spot to enjoy a meal or simply admire its classic architecture. This is also the hotel that Paige and Justin stayed at after they got married. And it is supposedly...haunted!!
