What To See And Do In Seguin, TX

Whether you’re short on your travel budget or don’t want to travel far from home, there’s always family fun to be had in Texas. Last weekend our family traveled south from Austin and honestly into unknown territory. Sure, we’ve seen the signs for Seguin on I-35, but we’d never stopped and didn’t even realize quite where it was.

Even if it’s 100 degrees out, you want to be outside in Texas during the summer. And when it’s hot, what better place to be than in or near the water? Situated on the banks of the Guadalupe River, Seguin, TX, is surrounded by water.

Where To Stay In Seguin TX

Most towns in Texas have everything from hotels and motels to RV campgrounds quaint bed and breakfasts. But if you want a truly different experience, then Seguin has you covered.

Magnolia Hotel

You could stay in the historic and haunted Magnolia Hotel. This unique spot has been voted one of the most haunted bed and breakfasts in Texas and featured in Ghost Adventures, Paranormal Files, and PBS Strange Town, to name a few.

Geronimo Creek Retreat

Like us, you could stay at Geronimo Creek Retreat. This unique, creekside resort is entirely treehouses, five teepees, and glamping cabins. It’s the closest thing to camping in Texas that you’d ever want to do in the hot summer months.

Geronimo Creek Retreat features five treehouses surrounding a spring-fed pond and ten glamping cabins. You can feel as if you’re fully submerged into nature, but with the comforts of air conditioning, bathrooms, and WiFi. After you’ve been playing all day, there’s nothing like air conditioning, a comfy bed, and a little online time to help the entire family unwind and relax.

My husband and I grew up primitive camping, but our girls aren’t quite sure what to do with themselves without WiFi access. And honestly, I don’t know if any of us could survive in the Texas heat without air conditioning, so glamping seemed like the perfect option!

Whether this is your family’s first experience in nature, or you’re looking for a more comfortable alternative to primitive camping, this retreat has options to cover you. So if cooking around a campfire isn’t your thing, you can utilize all of the appliances you need to make a complete meal. From the automatic coffeemaker and toaster to the blender and hot plate, your day is complete with all of the conveniences you need to make your homemade meals.

More About Glamping At Geronimo Creek

As part of your accommodation fee, you can get all the time on the water you need at Geronimo Creek. A self-proclaimed swimming and fishing oasis, the retreat features a rope swing along with complimentary kayaking and paddleboarding. And if you’re looking to dry out, there’s basketball, volleyball, corn hole, and hammocks located throughout the property.

After visiting Geronimo Creek, you might be tempted to spend the entire weekend there. And you definitely could and still be wholly content, but there’s so much more to Seguin that’s worth exploring!

What Can You Do In Seguin?

Well, aside from all the fun you can have at Geronimo Creek, there are several other things to do in Seguin.

You can cool off and have fun at Son’s Island and with Red Beard Boats! More below.

If you still want to be on the water but are looking for a change of scenery, you have several options. You can visit Geronimo Creek’s sister property, Son’s Island, with private lakeside cabanas complete with grills and patio furniture to make your stay. It’s a great spot to spend time with family or friends in a relaxed and luxurious lakeside atmosphere.

You could also stick to the water with a rental from Red Beard Boats. This water rental company features ski, pontoon, fishing boats, kayak, and paddleboard rentals.

Explore Downtown Seguin

If you want to explore downtown, there are tons to do by just walking around. Your first stop might be to see the World’s Largest Pecan outside the Courthouse. Follow the square around, and you will find a park dedicated to the history of Seguin, featuring flags and statues. You can also visit countless murals that show photos from Seguin’s past and provide a memorable backdrop for your photos.

If time allows, you may want to check out Walnut Springs Park for a picnic or hike. Even on rainy days, there’s still fun to be had. You’re So Crafty  – a walking studio is a fun way for kids of all ages to paint a canvas or pottery, create jewelry, or crafts with yarn.

Restaurants In Seguin

After a night full of cornhole and stargazing, we got a late start, so we only had time to grab a coffee. Seguin Coffee was the perfect drive-thru with just the variety among the caffeinated beverages and light bites.

You could also try these places for breakfast:

  • Go where the drinks aren’t always conventional, breakfast is served all day, and lunch is typical deli fare. You’ll find that at Court Street Coffee Shop
  • Noe’s Tacos’ breakfast tacos are “the” universal breakfast in Texas, and this local taco stand is supposed to have the best in the area.
  • The Dilly Deli has highly-rated breakfast, brunch, and sandwiches.

Pro Travel Tip: If you visit over a weekend or an extended weekend, double-check business hours as some are not open on Sundays and Mondays.

Food at Rocket Wings in Seguin TX

Lunch Or Dinner In Seguin

We visited Davila’s BBQ, Rocket Wings, and Seguin Brewing while in Seguin. If you’re looking for picnic food or a sit-down restaurant, you have options here. Our family eats BBQ, pizza, and chicken wings regularly, so these restaurants made our list, especially after the first was featured on Food Network. The second one was a recommendation by a friend, and the latter was a brewery and wood-fired pizza place that we wanted to visit.
