Lake Jackson

The Coastal Bend is full of interesting cities, but none of them are as “enchanting” as Lake Jackson – the City of Enchantment itself. Designed and built as a futuristic ideal of modern America, its beautiful streets meander in a way that is unlike almost anywhere else.

For all of the information you could possibly learn about the City of Enchantment, your number one spot to visit is the Lake Jackson Historical Museum!

Sea Center Texas has a little bit of everything – hatcheries, a touch tank, marine outreach and education programs, summer camps, fishing, and more!

Need a cool, eclectic spot for a midday lunch, or an early happy hour? Look no further than Bodega, where you can have what might be the only Chet tasted and approved shrimp-and-apple sandwich around!

Poly Pop celebrates Polynesian culture with a laid-back environment, island-inspired cocktails, and delicious cuisine. Hawaii isn’t the only place you can get a beachy Spam sandwich and a fiery drink!

The mission of the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory is to protect birds and their habitats around the Gulf of Mexico and beyond.

A freshwater lake with all sorts of surprises sunk beneath for you to explore – that sounds like a daytrip adventure worth taking! You can earn your SCUBA certification here, too.
