    Goliad State Park & Mission Espíritu Santo State Historic Site image
    Located near the San Antonio River, Mission Nuestra Señora del Espíritu Santo de Zúñiga, also known as Aranama Mission or Mission La Bahía, was a Roman Catholic mission established by Spain in 1722 to convert native Karankawa Indians to Christianity. The mission, along with the birthplace of General Ignacio Zaragoza, the Angel of Goliad Statue, and Fannin’s Memorial are part of the Goliad State Park and Historic Site. For a small fee, we were able to visit the mission’s interior, which includes the chapel, work room, museum, and grounds. The staff with whom we came into contact were very friendly and helpful. Persons interested in early Texas history, the life of Indians in Texas, and religious outreach would find visiting this site informative. See more..

    Stonehenge Replica image
    Fun stop for kids and adults. Unlike the real Stonehenge you can walk all around inside this full size replica. Kids had fun climbing up on slabs and running around playing tag. While we were there many other groups stopped in to see it as well; quite a popular site to take in. Free with nearby parking. See more..
  4. 5.0 NSR Ladonia Fossil Park (5 reviews)
    - Great place to take the kids!
    Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 2-3 hours Ancient Ruins
    NSR Ladonia Fossil Park image
    Great place to take the kids & grandkids! Everyone found a fossil or two to take home. It's not if you find fossils, it's if you're willing to carry the heavy fossils back up the hill to the car so be sure to bring a bucket for all of your treasurers. The river is hiking-boot height, so suggest waders or water shoes. Found a few broken bottles, so don't advise going barefoot. See more..
