Stroll along the square and smell the coffee form some of the shops or have lunch in any of the many local restaurants while antiquing or have a glass of wine in Grape Creek winery and listen to some live music back on the outside deck. You can rent bikes at the CVB or take pictures on the lawn. It's just a pleasant experience all the way around. Don't forget to stop and pick up some bakery items in either of the 2 bakeries! You will be pleasantly surprised!

San Gabriel Park is a beautiful, relaxing place to walk, jog, picnic, play with the kids, or just nap under the giant spreading Live Oak trees. There are tables, BBQ pits, playscapes and miles of walkways. It never seems too crowded - even on holidays. There is plenty of parking and you can even park on the side of the road that borders the park on the opposite side of the river.
4. Inner Space Cavern
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 682 reviews
Inner Space Cavern was discovered in 1963 by the Texas Highway Department. During construction of Interstate 35, they were required to do regulation core testing, which required them to drill into the ground. As they did this, they inadvertently drilled into the cave 8 times out of the 20 samples they took. Once they lost those 8 drill bits, they knew they hit a cave. They searched all over the surrounding area but could not find any access into the cave. So, they drilled a 2 foot wide hole down through 33.5 feet of limestone bedrock. The hole became known as the Discovery Hole as it was the very first entrance into the cave (and the only one for several months!). As they explored, they have found over five miles of cave, making Inner Space Cavern the fourth largest cavern in Texas!

We did all three tours at Inner Space Caverns... the regular public Adventure Tour, the off the beaten path Hidden Passages Tour, and the Wild Cave Tour. The Adventure Tour was a fairly classic cavern tour, complete with silliness about funny rock formations and little educational value. It is the only one accessible to people unsteady on their feet. The Hidden Passages Tour was far, far better and very worth the extra cost. It was educational and interesting and very easy to walk through unless your unsteady on your feet - not a paved trail. You're walking on rock surface. Seeing the bats up close was the best part. I'd recommend doing this instead of the Adventure Tour. You need bring no special gear and no special clothing. The Wild Cave Tour is all about learning and doing the work of cave exploration. It's dirty. You're crawling through some very small spaces. It can be scary and claustrophobic at times but exhilarating and fun. It's not for the barrel chested or XXL sized person, but it's a blast for young folks and the adventure-loving and dirt-never-minding among us. If you do the Wild Cave Tour you can probably skip the other two because you'll have seen much of the same things anyway. The guides were great! The caves were warm and humid. A highly recommended cavern visit!

I have seen almost a dozen musicals over the last couple years and was disappointed in only one -- the script was weird. I like the small theatre ambience and very reasonable ticket prices. The casts are not professionals -- many are students and/or employed -- which makes the quality even more impressive to me. I particularly like the musicals -- pretty good dancing and good singing. Plan to go back more often.

We visited this park the day after Christmas and we were completely satisfied and happy. The staff at this park was friendly. We stayed there 5 days and the experience was great. I would recommend this place to all that love to camp and fish. It's the ideal place to bring the family for weekend getaway. Thanks

My husband and I visited on a Saturday during market days. We were trying to kill some time before checking into our hotel. We were greeted warmly as soon as we stepped in. The Williamson Museum is a small museum, but it's free. They have donation box if you'd like to donate though as well a small gift shop which is well stocked. The exhibits were interesting especially the one on criminals. The building used to be a bank, so they also had the bank safe there which was also pretty cool to see and read about. We didn't have our kids with us, but I did notice that there are a lot of kids activities set up around the museum. We stopped by the small gift shop, and I bought a nicely priced bag. The young woman who served us was really friendly and when we mentioned how we'd love to move to Georgetown but how expensive it was, she was happy to tell us all about the areas surrounding Georgetown that were a bit more affordable. I would definitely suggest this museum if you're looking for something to do.

Arthritis fused Robert Williamson's lower right leg at a 90 degree angle. Doctors at the time (1819) attached a peg leg to his bent knee. "Three-Legged Willie" later became a Texas power broker; Williamson County was named for him (although he never visited) and in 2013 a life-size three-legged bronze statue was unveiled across from the county courthouse.

The historic Williamson County Courthouse is the cornerstone of the most beautiful town square in TX. This is especially true during the Christmas season as the courthouse and the square are decorated to the nines!
