Things to do while in New Braunfels
Natural Bridge Caverns
About 25 minutes from Ledgestone, this is the largest show cave in Texas and it’s definitely worth the trip! The standard tour takes you down 180 feet into a series of massive chambers with well-lit walkways and cool, humid air that feels great on a hot day. There are a few add-ons too: a zipline, a ropes course for kids, and a gem-mining setup where you can sift sand for crystals. You might want to bring a light jacket; it’s about 70°F underground all year.
Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch
Right next door to the caverns, this drive-through safari covers over 400 acres and is home to everything from zebras to ostriches. You can drive your own vehicle through (plan about 1.5 hours) and feed the animals right from your window. It’s a fun, easy outing for families or anyone who wants something different from the usual Hill Country activities. Go early in the day when the animals are most active!
Texas Ski Ranch
Despite the name, it’s not for snow. The Texas Ski Ranch is actually a cable park where you can wakeboard, kneeboard, or waterski without a boat. They have instructors for beginners and a full setup with shaded seating and a bar and grill nearby. Even if you don’t want to get in the water, it’s a great place to hang out, watch the pros, and grab a drink for the afternoon!
Whitewater Amphitheater
This outdoor venue sits right on the Guadalupe River and draws some of the biggest names in country and rock. The sound carries over the water, and on warm nights you’ll see people floating by on tubes during the show. Tickets usually sell out early for summer weekends, so if you want to catch a show, make sure to plan ahead! Parking is limited, but the walk from nearby lots is short and worth it once you’re inside.
Gristmill River Restaurant & Bar
The Gristmill is a local favorite that was built inside an old cotton gin overlooking the river in Gruene. Expect solid Texas comfort food like chicken fried steak, onion rings, burgers and of course… big portions! The best tables are on the patio with a view of the river and live music drifting over from Gruene Hall next door. Go early on weekends or be ready for a wait; the line moves fast, and the atmosphere makes it absolutely worth it.
