For classic family fun, lace
up your skates and head over to
Manning’s Texas on Wheels. This
local rink offers public skating
sessions, themed nights, and
special events. Catch the latest
blockbuster at a local movie
theatre or watch a family-favorite
movie during Classic Movie
Nights at the historical Jefferson
Theatre. Test teamwork at the
Beaumont Escape Room with
thrilling adventures for all ages.
For the adventurous bunch,
try bouncing to new heights
at two local trampoline parks,
Urban Air Adventure Park and
Jumping World. For a unique
family outing in Port Neches,
test your axe-throwing skills
at Avenue Axe, with safety
precautions and guidance
included. Learn about alligators
at Gator Country, witness feeding
demonstrations, and maybe
even hold a baby gator (with
supervision, of course!). Go
geocaching for high-tech treasure
hunts across Southeast Texas.
Looking for something a little
less energetic? In Port Arthur,
explore the Museum of the Gulf
Coast, which delves into the
region’s rich maritime history and
the wonders of the Gulf Coast.
Beaumont Children’s Museum
boasts interactive exhibits that
spark imaginations and ignite
a love for learning. Dive into a
world of knowledge and endless
possibilities: the public libraries
offer free books, resources,
programs, and events for all
ages and interests. Step back in
time at the Fire Museum of Texas
in Beaumont, where antique
fire trucks and firefighting
equipment tell the story of these
courageous first responders.
Budding artists can unleash their
inner Van Gogh for a DIY craft
night at places like Doodles Art
Studio or Painting With a Twist.
Engage the inner child at a
mini golf course, like Colorado
Canyon. Indoor arcades in the
area, like Main Event, Chuck E
Cheese, and Tilt, boast arcade
games and food, making it
perfect for family fun. Challenge
your family to a game at a Max
Bowl in Port Arthur or 5 Under
Golf Center.
Beat the heat and have
a splashing good time at
Beaumont’s many free public
splash pads, and enjoy scenic
views, family fun, and outdoor
recreation at Port Neches
Riverfront Park, offering a splash
pad, playground, boat ramps,
and historic charm. Lace up your
sneakers for friendly competition
at public tennis and pickleball
courts.
No matter your family’s
interests, a Texas-sized adventure
awaits!
