The Witte Museum is a UNATION favorite where visitors can explore nature, science, and different cultures. They offer exciting and changing exhibitions throughout the year like “Toys: The Way We Play” with childhood retro toys or a recently opened exhibit on Antarctic Dinosaurs! The Witte is a must!

Get outdoors and reach new heights while hiking to the summit of Enchanted Rock. This spot is a personal favorite and is always a great time with magical scenery and beautiful views.

Check out Friedrich Wilderness Park for a hill-filled hike through any of the 8 trails. Bask in the sunlight and wander at Comanche Lookout Park while viewing the historical medieval-style tower that was never finished.
