This facility is ADA accessible. Reviewed By lissetsalinas1 - Edinburg, TexasPretty nice museum to go to if visiting the valley a bit small but it is a small town. Fun way to spend two hours or so certainly not a all day thing but still nice.Thank you for visiting the Museum of South Texas History! We hope you return to our special events. Upcoming family-friendly event is Summer Nights at the Museum starting in June 2017. Hope to see you there! 2. McAllen Public Library4001 N 23rd St, McAllen, TX 78504-4104 +1 956-681-3000 Overall Ratings4.5 based on 122 reviews Reviewed By DC2florida - Washington, DCThis place was stunning. Huge, as befits a former Walmart, but they certainly made a lemon into lemonade. The exterior was inviting and there was an interesting exhibit of art near the entrance. The different sections were beautiful and enormous. An area for kids, teens, study groups and a gorgeous quiet study room. Clever design with lower shelves in the middle that are higher toward the edges... Every city needs a great library like this. Worth visiting as a tourist just to see the potential. 3.

Reviewed By deaconallan - Houston, TexasIf one is interested in Spanish Colonial architecture, history, and, in this case, the local flora and fauna, the Quinta Mazatlan is well worth the visit. The house is fantastic, the grounds with their native growth, and of course the birds and butterflies. Being a camera and a "long" lens. 5.

Conveniently located on I-2 (Expressway 83) there is a lot of free parking space available and out back they can provide space for related flea markets etc. On other occasions we have attended Winter Texan health shows. The main display floor is at grade level so there are no stairs. 7.

Veterans, Edinburg, TX Overall Ratings4.5 based on 9 reviews Reviewed By DavidJJ - Edinburg, TexasI visit this park to walk the trail around the perimeter. But over the years I've seen this park be transformed. Perhaps the most popular improvement to the park is the water park section. As climate changes and warm weather arrived early this year, the number of people using the convenient new parking and the water park speaks for its popularity. Anxiously waiting to see what continuing construction will bring. 9. Los Lagos Golf Club1720 S Raul Longoria Rd, Edinburg, TX 78542-9108 Overall Ratings4.5 based on 9 reviews Reviewed By Frqntflyr12My brother and I were looking to play some golf and heard about it after playing in Brownsville. Worth the trip over to play it. Great greens and fun course but tough. Tons of sand and water. Was busy but still got in 18 in three hours. Restaurant staff was great. Sat and watched the game. Will definitely play again next time down. 10. International Museum of Art & Science (IMAS)1900 W Nolana Ave, McAllen, TX 78504-4121 +1 956-682-1564 Overall Ratings4 based on 46 reviews Reviewed By Ekaterina DStaff here is friendly and knowledgeable and I have many wonderful memories from this place. I have celebrated my son's birthday's and visited countless events. We even watched a snake feed on live mice once. My only gripes are that they removed the cheap admission on Thursday. Also when there is an exhibit in the Discovery Pavilion there isn't that much left to do and admission can get pretty expensive. Overall a nice place to visit and get a membership if you are local with younger children. TAGSThingsTodoPost © 2018 All rights reserved.
