Cascade Caverns is a 70-ft. high cave on 104 acres with tent camping, trails and wildlife. It is a private nature preserve with an interesting tour guide who was the owner of the cave. Kids enjoyed it because they got to see a few salamanders and one bat. The tickets were pricier than expected but it is worth the visit overall.
It is awesome place, The cave is so amazing, u can see bats and salamanders inside, clean water and many different rock formations. Flors are wet but it is to be expected in a cave, and you need to be careful. Our guide was very nice and informative, she told us many stories about the cave and it's history. Good prices and military discounts. We had a great time exploring the cave and I definitely recommend the visit. There is a souvenir store on the grounds and the RV park.

It was an interesting tour of this privately owned natural cave. Our tour guide was the owner so we got to ask a few extra questions. Kids enjoyed it a lot as they got to see a few salamanders and one bat. The tickets were a bit pricier than expected but it is worth the visit overall.

Our tour guide "stingray" was amazing, and one of the best cave tours I've been on, would highly recommend this tour, very educational, and visually stunning. Would not recommend for handicapped, there are a lot of stairs and it gets slippery as this is an active wet cave, lots of climbing down and up, you will get "cave kisses" i.e. dripped on quite a bit as well. Tour takes about an hour or more.

Such a fun experience and the tour was outstanding! Pocket was our guide and she was so much fun. We enjoyed the rock splitting and the great time watching people slucing for geodes and special rocks. We enjoyed splitting a geode for our collection. The young man that assisted us in the geode splitting was fun and we had fun doing this fun thing while there. I cannot remember his name but he knows what to look for in the best find on this task! Thanks to their attention to our wants and desires was well above average!

This was my first time to these caverns, and it was so enjoyable! The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We bought some rocks from "Stingray" in the gift shop, and had a great time listening to Alex throughout our tour. We'll be back and we'll bring some friends next time!

We stayed at the RV Park associated with the caverns. Since it's a natural preserve the sites are not mowed as closely as in most parks but we enjoyed the natural setting with plenty of oak shade trees. The hiking trails are fun and easy. The caverns are beautiful and worth taking the guided tour loaded with interesting facts.

I hope everyone gets “Stingray” as their tour guide! He made it easy to remember cool facts about the cave and knew exactly where to find unique formations and critters. Definitely a once in a lifetime amazing experience! I highly recommend for families (with kids too!). We brought our 6 and 3 year old girls and it was amazing to hear their oohs and ahhs as we explored the cave.
There is camping on site and additional tours in the summer. We plan on coming back soon!

Did the flashlight tour on October 14, 2023 with my husband and our 2 kids. We throughoutly enjoyed the tour with our guide Sweet Tea!

I thoroughly enjoy caves no matter where they are or how big or how small. But Cascade caverns doesn't have a problem with their personnel. Doesn't have a problem with their cavern but they have a problem with their business philosophy. I went down with 23 other people with one tour guide who by the way was excellent but the passageways were narrow and slippery and almost half of the guests were kids under the age of 10. You couldn't hear what the tour guide was saying about formations or any technical information. I was extremely disappointed. I would have paid twice the fee to get in if there was only four people in my group. I have never been in a cave with a tour group of more than 12-13 people. Max. It's an absolutely beautiful cave, but there was so much talking between the kids and the adults. Let their kids continue talking. I was just disappointed. I'm a grandfather. I know how kids and grandkids can be. It would have been better off to have broken this into a much smaller group. I know it's spring break and I know that they have a lot of people coming through, but the experience was lost in the noise. Also, I think issuing a flashlight to every guest on the tour. Detracts from the experience. For example, I was there with a black light. I had a broad beam black light and a pencil thin black light and I was trying to determine what would glow . So when people saw me pointing my black light in a fixture they would all turn their flashlights and point it right at the object. I was trying to illuminate and have and glow. Well that didn't happen. I'm sorry if I sound better but it could have been so much better with just a little bit more effort. The staff were amazing. I got there 5 minutes before the tour started and they were able to check me in and walk me to the group. Already heading down to the cave. Which I was not expecting and I told them that I would wait because I was not in a rush. But little did I know.....

This cave was a great experience. It isn't the biggest cave I've visited, but there is plenty of things and history to learn about. Stingray was an amazing guide, he was funny and taught us many things about the cave (although he is a patriots fan).

Cascade Caverns is insanely beautiful and it is so cool that a Patrick Swayze movie was shot in the cave! My hubby and I watched Father Hood when we got home!
Trinity aka SWEET TEA was so much fun! And we basically had a private tour on Friday afternoon and you get your own flashlight.
They have so much water! Their formation growth rate is an inch every 20 years, whereas at my workplace, Inner Space it's an inch every 100 years.
We were so excited to see the salamanders and the I'm DYING to see what lies below on their summer only Wild Caving tour! The grounds itself is just gorgeous.

Well worth the price of admission. And "Pocket" our tour guide, was great. We were the last tour of the day and I overheard her say goodnight to the cave. That is someone who loves the natural beauty of the caves and it was obvious by the way she showed us around.

My wife and I visited the caverns just a few days ago. It was a rainy Sunday. We were the only ones on the tour and was great for us because we got an amazing private tour by “Pocket”. I wish we had come years ago. It is beautiful. The bats and salamanders add to the tour.

What a hidden gem!! Probably my favorite cave tour ever. Stingray was the most patient, fun guide. He definitely made the experience even more amazing. Highly recommend! You don't want to miss this one!
The Cibolo Nature Center is a public park that invites visitors to explore nature and connect with its healing powers. The park has 3 miles of hiking trails, 6 miles of mountain biking trails, and 3 miles of walking trails that take you through the woods.
It is beautiful place, we walked the Marsh trail easy and accessible for everyone with a nice boardwalk. Trails along the river are dirt roads but not too difficult. Beautiful view of the creek and trees, plenty of benches to sit down and enjoy the peaceful scenery. Each bench is different, it makes the walk interesting, and there are a couple of hidden stairs leading towards the creek. Dinosaur tracks are very interesting place to explore and located right by the parking lot. Picnic tables and clean bathrooms, visitor center and plenty of parking. Free and dog friendly.

Had a great hike here during spring break. Did we get lost? YES 😄 but that's ok, happens when you hike sometimes. It was a lovely day not top busy and great weather.. I would say to make sure you read the map correctly as we definitely didn't and read it completely wrong! But it was still a great experience and we did make our way back eventually :]

Makes for a nice evening walk. There is a lot to see here in terms of wildlife and foliage. The creek is beautiful but is often polluted from run off. We spotted at least 4 signs warning people to stay out but it seems no one heeded the warning. We saw several maternity shoots taking place in the water, bare feet and all, despite a sign being posted before entering the creek area. I was pretty flabbergasted to say the least. On a more positive note, we really enjoyed the meditation area and the small fortress structure. We saw a variety of plant and animal life including an armadillo, rabbits, a coyote, squirrels, deer, snakes, and butterflies. There are a few stations for picking up after your dogs, which must be leashed at all times. The bathrooms didn't have soap and were pretty icky but I've seen worse and hey at least there was toilet paper! This is a great place for the family. I only deducted a star because the water always seems to be polluted and for there not being soap in bathrooms.

This nature preserve is so much fun. There are several trails and even during the winter there is still water flowing and lots to see. The walking trails aren't strenuous ans there is plenty of wildlife. The nature center is nice too and the staff were lovely. Best part? This place is free!

This place is so beautiful and relaxing. The lazy creek had fish and turtles and frogs all living their best life. There were some of the biggest trees I've ever seen down by the creek and I was just floored by how serene it was to just walk around with my family. I really loved it here and I'd love to be able to come back one day.

Very nice and has a lot of ducks/geese - and soooo many turtles! Just turtles everywhere - a TMNT party on every block. Nice trail with a dog waste station and some restrooms.

You'll stare as you walk under the Bridge, see the working/functioning "Mill Wheel" & be charmed by all the seemingly tame wood ducks & geese. It's January, huge Canadian geese walk among others - & us. A gentleman on a brilliant red bench facing the Creek (surrounded by ducks) tossed a handfuls of cracked corn towards me, as ducks ran towards me!
Walk to find the "Water Wheel" and more..

Omgsh! The pickles are amazing. You’ll get addicted. They are slightly sweet with a kick. Staff is so very friendly my daughter called her the pickle smuggler because she wrapped our pickles jars for the plane.

The Dienger Trading Co. is a unique and charming vintage bistro located in a 19th-century building in Boerne. They offer breakfast, sandwiches, beer, wine, coffee shop items and baked goods. The restaurant has a bustling atmosphere and the staff are courteous and hardworking despite being busy. Their Egg White Frittata and breakfast street tacos are superbly delicious.
I heard from my fiance that this used to be a pricey place to eat. He was very wrong, indeed! The best $12 I have ever spent for a large meal made with high-quality and locally grown ingredients with a delightful presentation on the plate. Will always come time and time again because their iced chai tea latte is also fantastic.

Great food. Love the historic building & wonderful ambience. This building has an incredible history in Boerne and they have an amazing wall in the back that documents their history. This is a wonderful place to meet a friend for lunch or breakfast or just coffee. My favorite is their delicious quiche Lorraine in the perfect crust and it comes with fresh fruit. They have many delicious dishes!

We held two private events at the Dienger Trading Co. upstairs at The Homestead. The first event was a bridal brunch in the morning and then we went back that evening for a rehearsal dinner. The space upstairs is so beautiful with multiple chandeliers, an antique bar area, a brick wall which makes for a good photo backdrop and a balcony that was great for mingling and enjoying a glass of wine prior to the meal. The chef was very accommodating to different dietary needs of the wedding party and prepared some very flavorful dishes for everyone. The staff was amazing from start to finish! Can’t say enough how great Esha was in the planning and details of our two events! Garrett and Riley who worked both events were just lovely and pulled off two perfect events for the wedding weekend! 100% would hold another event there.

Stopped in on a whim while driving through Boerne on Sunday morning for their brunch. Ordered the Egg White Frittata and breakfast street tacos. Both were excellent. We had a little wait - they were busy but all staff were courteous (and working hard to serve!) They also have coffee shop and delicious looking baked goods. (Also a boutique but we did not visit.) Their Magic Bars and brownies are so good and as big as a brick! 😉

We really enjoy stopping here when we drop our car off at the Nissan dealership in Boerne. Once we drop our car off we use the Nissan shuttle to take us the the Deinger. There usually is a short wait as it's very popular. We had the Hill Country breakfast. We also had I ordered a cortado expresso. Our food was very good and so was the cortado. I recommend stopping in for lunch or dinner if you are in Boerne.

Extremely impressed with the management of this establishment. Both Riley and chef K. bring something to the restaurant that is surely worth talking about. Both their skills in leadership and communication set a standard that you cannot get at any other restaurant. Top it off with their hard work ethic and overwhelming sense of accountability, you truly get what the restaurant experience is supposed to be. A well trained staff and meaningful food. If you’re not serious about what hard work is or what good food is, then this place isn’t for you.

Food is nice, beautiful establishment, amazing service, hadn’t been back for over two year last time there the food was rancid they took it off my bill it smelled foul but they never offered a replacement nor did they bring back a menu so I left hungry to say the least.
I was pleasantly surprised with the food quite nice. I had the salmon. The place started closing up as we were eating I asked about closing they said the.were closing up early I said ok no problem we're almost done however online it says closes at 5pm they said the boutique will stay open until 5pm were closing now which was maybe 330ish or 350ish. Anyhow the staff was friendly and the food was nice.

My husband and I visited this spot for Brunch one morning, after hearing how nice it was. Everyone we spoke to or encountered here was incredibly nice and helpful. The whole vibe of the place was very nice. It was a beautiful place! The food, however, was lackluster. My husband and I both ordered the Hill Country Breakfast…he got the bacon with it, and I chose ham. The potatoes were extremely over cooked. The peppers that were cooked with the potatoes were VERY good, though. I’m sad at how hard and overcooked the potatoes were because the flavor was wonderful. My ham was delicious…as was my husband’s bacon. However - his scrambled eggs were NOT good. There was no flavor before he added salt and pepper…and they were cold. They also came out in almost a sheet, like what you get on your McDonald’s breakfast sandwich. It was so odd. My eggs were also cold and bland…but cooked correctly. The toast and biscuits were also cold…and the biscuits were hard and NOT good. We also got mimosas (he got the original, and I had the Sunrise Mimosa), and they were ok. Nothing special. My biggest frustration was the pricing. The food was DEFINITELY not worth the price. We paid $72 for two breakfasts and two mimosas. It was absurd - especially for how basic the food and drinks were. I’d happily pay that much for a phenomenal brunch…but this was NOT it.
We would definitely visit again, to give it another shot. But we definitely won’t order the same things.

"My experience at The Dienger in Boerne was nothing short of delightful. The service was absolutely amazing - attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. But it was the food that truly left a lasting impression. Not only was it very good, but you could taste the freshness in every bite. The menu offered a great variety, catering to a range of preferences.
What made the experience even better was the warm and friendly atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can relax and savor your meal while enjoying the company of your loved ones. The ample parking was a pleasant surprise, and it added to the convenience of our visit.
What sets The Dienger apart is its child-friendly environment. As a parent, it's often a challenge to find a place where both adults and kids can feel comfortable, but this establishment excels in that regard. Chase was great!!
All in all, The Dienger in Boerne goes above and beyond in providing a top-notch dining experience. I can't recommend it enough, and I look forward to returning to this wonderful establishment."

What's not to like! The staff are amazing and I can't stress enough what a wonderfully managed, clean, welcoming environment this restaurant is. We had to order way more than we could eat because we wanted to try everything. A big key for me is how a restaurant cooks potatoes and they are next level good here! The blueberries and cream danish was out of this world and not to sweet which was perfect! The croissant breakfast sandwich and egg white fritta are so good. Historical building with lots to see...Anytime we're in Boerne we'll be back!

I loved the atmosphere and location but was not impressed with my meal. I got the fried pork tenderloin Benedict. The biscuits and hollandaise were great but my eggs were well passed over easy. The pork tenderloin was so overdone that it was really tough to eat and didn’t end up being able to finish it. The hollandaise had great flavor but needed much more of it given there was no runny yolk and the protein being dry. I told the waitress but she didn’t seem to care. My sister got the avocado, toast, and a pancake. Both of those were delicious. The coffee is good. I got one pump of vanilla and one pump of the lavender and the lavender is very potent. Definitely should’ve gone with maybe a half a pump. I had high hopes for this place, and so much other items on the menu looked good but I am hesitant to go back.
Always a great time! Photo ops everywhere, including Santa and Mrs Claus - even the Grinch. Food, drinks, music, kids play area and petting zoo. Great staff. Highly recommended!

Very cute area but very expensive. For two people, I paid 60$ entrance fee for two people plus 8$ for two small water based hot cocoas. Prices are not visibly shown at some food/beverage locations so you don’t know how much you’ll spend until everything is made. The cocoas comes with a free “melted snowman” which are just marshmallows but mine came empty. The workers kindly replaced it with no hesitation.
Parking is very organized to avoid cars looping around to find a space and workers throughout the area in case you have questions. Cars entering the property are timed with cars exiting as it is a small road. Highly recommended buying the tickets beforehand so you can be immediately let in.
The petting zoo was my favorite but disappointed it didn’t come already included with the price and needed to pay more out of pocket. They’re kind to explain how to feed the animals and have a sanitation station. There’s not much to do unless you pay even more on top of the entrance fee. Many opportunities for photos.
The Santa at this location was unfortunately creepy and made slightly sexual comments to my friend and I. It definitely made our experiences uncomfortable. We saw many parents struggling to take pictures with their families because there’s wasn’t a designated worker to take pictures.

This is our fifth or sixth year visiting. It's a nice experience, but can be inconsistent.
One year there were craft vendors with booths selling handmade goods in many different parts of the property.
This year I didn't see one.
There were many, many good vendors but I recommend eating before hand as the prices are very high. One booth som sold a NY style pizza that was quite tasty but was 6 dollars a slice. Others had hotdogs and burgers that were comparably pricey. Soda, beer and wine are also available. I recommend the Shiner Holiday cheer.
One of the buildings has tables and chairs and a band playing. The band was good, but so loud you couldn't really talk to the people you were with.
Another building houses the man himself. Santa was great. Friendly, patient and more than accommodating for our rather large group. The ability to take photos is included in your admission, but bring your own camera or phone as they do not have someone doing that (which I prefer).
The kids enjoyed riding the mechanical bull and playing laser tag and just being able to rang wander around and explore on their own (or bunch is 8 teenagers).
The smores kids available for purchase are fun, but the big fire pit from years ago has shrunk a lot.

We went last night for opening night and had a great time. I will say it’s a bit over priced for what you are actually getting; however, I could tell there was a lot of thought and intentionality to make it a nice and festive experience. All of the staff we interacted with from parking attendants to those serving food were so nice. There were fun touches as writing a letter to Santa. Santa is also there and you are able to take your own photos which is a plus. Lots of photo ops, music everywhere, a light tunnel and a little light maze. You can also check out the various buildings. You can pay extra for hot chocolate and s’mores which was great on a cold night. Also, they have some other things such as mechanical bull and laser tag. There is plenty of room to spread out and walk around. It didn’t feel crowded. This was a great way to start the season for us. We had a great time.

Great Christmas town off of Hwy 46 outside of Boerne. Leisurely stroll among the buildings enjoying the lights and music. All the Christmas traditions for children and families to enjoy.

If you have little ones I totally recommend you make time to visit. The drive through the lights is so cute specially with those Texas dark skies... Then you walk around the old town, it is decorated everywhere you look. They hand the kiddos a sheet for scavenger hunt(mine loved it). There's a food truck area, live music in the dance hall and small business vendors. There's so many photo ops, kiddos got to see and talk to santa and to top it off they rosted marshmallows by the open fire. The weather was nice and chilly so it made the night even better.

Boerne City Lake is a natural reserve that offers various recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking. It features a fishing pier, boat dock, BBQ grills, picnic tables and even a butterfly garden. Visitors can rent canoes and paddleboards to explore the lake while enjoying the shaded areas near the water or playing volleyball on the playground.
Went today and it is absolutely beautiful. There is a burn ban right now so no grilling but who cares really. I would recommend getting there early to find good parking and a good spot. No motor boats but lots of kayaks and floats. Great place for family and kids. Can’t wait to go back. This is one of the most beautiful places in Texas. Only 20 minutes outside of San Antonio

Clean grounds with plenty of shade trees to park yourself under. Clear water with great access from the entire shoreline to float or swim. We've caught 1-2lb. catfish on wienies and stinkbait with bobbers. Bring your light tackle for the sunfish. Bass must hang out in the center of the lake as there's no cover for them at the shore. I saw a bunch of top water strikes on the little bait fish in the lake but no interest in my spinner baits. Bring your kayak, paddleboard, tubes, chairs, dogs, and fishing poles. No ice or vending machines on premises. Restrooms are nice. Rent paddleboards or kayaks. You pay a little more than you think you should to get in but the place is kept up really well and the water is really enjoyable. Saw people swimming the entire length of the lake Ironman style and little kids jumping in of the dock. Wear swim shoes as it's rocky but that's also what makes the water so clear. Our second time to visit in the past week today and we'll be going back to fish and swim throughout the summer.

Great place to relax and enjoy the day! We took the kayaks out for a calm paddle and enjoyed a picnic under the trees.
I was surprised it wasn't overly crowded, and there wasn't any motor boats in the water. Overall great location

Such a quiet and beautiful spot to have a picnic, take a swim, feed the ducks, have a romantic evening or bring the kids. Water is deep so have tubes or life jackets. It’s lovely at sunset!

Boerne city lake park is well designed and very well maintained. We are lucky enough to still have 33+feet of water when near by lakes have so little.
The disc golf course is a huge draw for some. There is paddle boat rentals and now on busier days there is a food truck!
If you get there before 7am entry is free!!!

Thoroughly unimpressed. Came here with the family from Bandera excited for a lake day. While the lake is wonderful, the park/beach gets zero stars. There was garbage all over. This was not all “new” garbage as there was things buried in the sand. Being a Sunday, there were of course church services going on which is great! But, the overly loud and crackling PA system being used was unnecessary. We were here for roughly 3 hours and while we saw city park employees on the grounds, not once did any come to the area/beach we were at to check it or pick up. Spent a good amount of time picking up garbage myself, including in the water. We will not be back and I’ll be telling family and friends it’s not worth going. We will stick to our gorgeous CLEAN parks in Bandera on the Medina River.

We had a team outing at the lake with our families. There is so much space that even with other families having a day out, it didn't feel crowded. We all had a lot of fun. I recommend water shoes. It is rocky everywhere and slippery in the water. Parents may want to go in the water first because there are many quick drop-offs. Definitely have floatation devices. There was a lot of wind, so make sure to bring something to tie everything down. There is a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the lake, so if you are taking a lot of stuff, I recommend taking a wagon. A cooler of ice and drinks and stuff for sandwiches was perfect. There are places to grill out there, but know there are tons of flies if you do. Absolutely, do not forget the sunscreen. We even took our own canopy, table, and chairs.

The area my family and I setup at, was decently clean, others might've just left before us and didn't get all the trash. However, the water was at a lukewarm temperature, and the area we had was covered, along with a grill being available.

I had a great time here with my family. I've to a couple of lakes here in San Antonio but driving the 45 minutes to Boerne was definitely worth it. There was plenty of shaded areas to set up near the water. Plus they had canoe and paddle board rentals available. On the opposite there was a play ground and a volleyball net to give other things to do. The downsides were limited bathroom area. They only had one and a couple of port o potties. Which in the sun was the worst place to be in and smell. Also some person set up their towel on the pier and kinda acted like they had claim to the whole thing. I wished the on patrol security would have made them move. Other than that I'll be back again
Loved visiting the Patrick Heath Public library in Boerne TX. Beautiful library inside and out. Also has an upper level upstairs with an area that's enclosed where you can sit and read and feel the fresh air. So awesome!!! Loved the children's area. Media center for checking out videos, charging centers, area in the front entrance of the library with paintings and very old German Bible encased. Friendly staff, very welcoming. So much to see at this library!! Also quiet areas, study rooms, outdoor area to sit and read and view beautiful landscape and outdoor theater.

Sandy must be solely responsible for the entire library. She is very quick to express her opinion regardless of whether it is her business. I am to the point that I will hang up if Sandy answers the phone. I called yesterday about an appointment with the AARP Tax people. Disapproval was plain in Sandy’s voice.that should have already been done. I was set up with a 1 pm cancellation. Then I was told I must drop everything and get to the library to fill out the form before the appointment.. Sandy doesn’t know me, my situation or anything about me. Does she think you can just leave your job? Does she realize the cost of gas? Her tone and attitude really bothered me. I have had a number of very serious family health issues that have driven my life or the past several months. Today I called to cancel the appointment. Sandy’s response—there are so many people who need that appointment. Not her business and there should not have even been a comment. Extremely unprofessional

Beautiful library and a wonderful spot to just sit and enjoy nature. The staff and the children’s section are wonderful. The grounds are perfect for a short walk and the walking trail connects to a much longer one that winds through town.
They have a large variety of events and activities for young and old.

I can’t speak to the library book or digital resources because I primarily use it as a get away for reading or studying, but in regards to the location, atmosphere, and facility this place is awesome. It is modern, is comfortable with plenty of quiet areas to read, and has great natural light with a beautiful view of the surrounding area. The patio, walking area, and amphitheater in the back are perfect in the fall and spring for outdoors use as well.
Visited here around noon on Sun. Owner friendly, helpful. Very large shop has 60 Sellers offering incredible variety of.. everything! Don't miss enjoying the atmosphere here..
*Looking for quality Turquoise jewelry?
Need an enormous *Wild Boar with Tusks?
Are You a Record Collector? There's 1 Seller who offers an enormous shop-corner Full of records..
In need of Stunning *Lamps?
Looking for *Texan-style furniture, bric a brac, paintings?
You'll find it ALL here at this memorable, adorable & quiet shop.

Didn't see anything must-have, but a strong selection. Better than the other 5 SAT antique stores I went to.
Andy Manka — Google review
A disarray of overpriced disappointment. Store looks intriguing when you walk in but you’ll notice very quickly prices inflated for pieces that are not genuine, antique nor all that vintage. A few of the elderly employees are pushy and rude not very friendly. They seemed agitated when customers would ask for assistance. If you’re looking for true antiques and or vintage with reasonable prices and a friendlier staff go to town of Boerne. Lots of great antique stores!

The owners at the front were extremely attentive and welcomed every customer that came by. Of course while it was an antique mall it was slightly overcrowded but each booth had some sort of organization to them that made it not too claustrophobic! Every time I go there I have a few wonderful finds there, so it's exciting to visit multiple times. My partner and I were interested in a radio, but wanted to bring down the price slightly and the front desk did not hesitate calling the owner and requesting our asking price. Really liked how accommodating they were. It only took about 10 minutes to get a call back and they packed up our radio with a nice box for the travels. We are very happy with our experience and if we are heading to Fredericksburg from San Antonio we will always try to hit up this spot :)

It's a small antique mall with many resellers. There is some good guy-stuff. There's lots of other stuff but I don't have an eye for that stuff so I really can't comment. The bathrooms are very clean. The parking isn't handy but the owners wanted a corner lot on the frontage road.
Thank you for all the info and maps allowing us to enjoy your town and local historic buildings.

One of the best visitor centers we have been to in Texas! The staff were extremely nice and gave us a lot of great info about the city and recommendations for food. They also had an Easter egg giveaway and we got free coffee, water bottle, and play park passes! Highly recommend traveling to Boerne and making this your first stop!
Northrup Park in Boerne is home to a collection of exceptional baseball fields. With twelve well-maintained grass fields, it is highly recommended for tournaments. The only drawback is the challenging access via I10 due to frequent traffic issues and construction. However, once you arrive at the park, you will be pleased with its cleanliness and impeccable field conditions. Additionally, when cars are absent, Northrup Park offers a pleasant walking experience and features a playset that attracts parents with young children.
Nice place to walk when there are no cars there, and quite a few parents were letting their small children play on the playset.

Really nice baseball fields at this park that is located in Boerne). 12 fields, all are grass and well maintained. We enjoy playing ball here and would recommend these fields to those looking to put on tournaments.
Only gripe is that it is difficult to access unless you come in from I10. This stretch of I10 often has traffic issues and construction, frequently causing delays.
That is not the park's fault, so I think you will be pleased once you get there!

Nice facility. Baseball, batting cages, sand volleyball, and a small playground for little kids. Easy to get around and large parking spaces. Could use better or more shaded areas. A lot of the activities happen in the evening and the covers over the baseball field stands don't do much to provide shade at that time of day. No shaded areas around the batting cages or volleyball courts.
Ben Weber — Google review
huge park!!! field conditions were good, bleacher seating although small work fine for normal games, plenty of fold up chair seating areas. parking lot is huge as well, only drawback is that as big as this park is they have fields layed out in sections besides each other, so if your playing in fields 1-4 and next game is at field 9-11 you almost need to drive your car to the fields instead of just walking. overall well taken care of facility.
The AgriCultural Museum and Arts Center comprises two distinct sections, namely the agricultural museum and the arts center. The former concentrates on the farming heritage of the region, exhibiting historic tractors, tools, and vintage machinery employed in cultivating the Hill Country's land. This captivating venue not only offers a fascinating exploration opportunity but also hosts various events like Bierfest and a fall pumpkin patch, adding to its appeal. It serves as an excellent backdrop for photography enthusiasts.
Loved listening to the pickers circles! Can’t wait to see this museum grow!
