Lake Jackson Car Rental
You know the saying; everything's big in Texas. They're not joking. Lake Texas is a great place to visit and shows Texan humour in a big way. Visit streets with names such as This Way and That Way. This old oil company town has outlasted the company that founded it and provides down-home Texas charm and hospitality to one and all.
1.) Visit Lake Jackson Museum: This small, unassuming museum tells the history of not only Lake Jackson but of Texas, covering the settlements and plantations that sprang up in the area in the early 1800s, as well as local history of the Civil War period. A great attraction for all history buffs.
2.) Tour the Sea Center: Texas Parks and Wildlife rangers operate the educational and entertaining centre that includes a Touch-Tank, a huge aquarium that holds a wealth of gigantic fish, a fish hatchery and a wetland area with over 150 species of birds.
3.) Enjoy the Natural History Museum: Located on Medical Drive, the Natural History museum offers exhibits of the local fauna and wild flowers of this coastal Texas town.
4.) Visit the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge: You haven't seen Texas until you've seen the Brazos and the wildlife refuge. Take a tour, join in group discussions and enjoy the great Texan outdoors.
5.) Go shopping: When you want a break from taking in the local history spend an afternoon shopping and strolling in the Brazos Mall. Food, shops and entertainments of all kinds await visitors of all ages.
