New Braunfels continues to grow, and although it expands year by year, somehow New Braunfels has still managed to hold onto its small-town charm. I have family who lives in New Braunfels, so I regularly make the trip to this enchanting town. There are so many things to do in New Braunfels and you could easily make a week out of a trip here. I recently took a trip with my blogger friend, The Rose Table, for a New Braunfels adventure. Today I’m sharing some of the best things to do in New Braunfels including some main attractions and some hidden gems! Things to do in New Braunfels is part of the Texas Travel Series, which is here to serve as a resource to help you find your next Texas adventure. There are so many unique and bucket list worthy things to do in Texas that I’m excited to share with you! Things to Do in New Braunfels – Water Adventures It’s hard to go to New Braunfels and not get in the water! From water sports to a leisurely float, New Braunfels is the perfect Summer vacation! Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels is often recognized as one of the best water parks in the US and it’s easy to see why! The park is actually 3 connected parks featuring thrill rides and fun relaxing rides. Many of the rides use water directly from the Comal River and last longer than your typical amusement park (which means more time in the water and less in the lines!) You can enjoy a drink at one of their swim up bars, go on a not so lazy river, learn to surf, slide down some epic slides, float the Congo River, enter the Dragon’s Lair and so much more! It’s easy to spend an entire day at Schlitterbahn with all of the things there are to do! One of my favorite things to do is to grab a tube and float the Comal River. Rockin R Tubes is right across from the entrance of the float. They provide you with a float and bus you back to your car after your float. The Comal River is a pretty relaxing ride with two fun chutes that are not too extreme. People are welcome to bring snacks and alcoholic beverages as long as you use non-disposable containers. Please respect the river and keep it clean!

The Texas Ski Ranch uses cables to pull people along and has a section for beginners and pros.

It made me comfortable knowing that I had someone along to help! For people who are more advanced, you can go along around the main cables! I did try twice and managed to face plant! Looks like I need a little more experience! Either way it was an absolute blast, and I’m so glad I took the time to try.

You can take a guided tour into the naturally forming caverns that have been slowly carved over time. View underground chambers, crystals, an emerald pool, stalagmites, sparkly rocks and more! The chambers also remain around 70 degrees so it’s a great break from the heat in the middle of the day! At the Caverns your little ones can also participate in a ropes course! And did you know Texas has its own African safari? Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch lets you take your car and a bag of food through their wild life park where zebras, longhorns, buffalo, and other animals come up to your car and eat the food you throw out. It’s almost like a reverse zoo where the animals roam around and we’re stuck in a little box! It’s so neat to be able to get so close to the animals. Afterwards you can pet some goats, visit lemur island, and get a safari themed gift at the gift shop. Things to Do in New Braunfels – Shopping I have been to New Braunfels 10+ times, and I had never heard of the Grass Market until this most recent trip when we went to eat at Huisache Grill (Don’t ask me to pronounce that!) I was blown away by this little gem hidden near Downtown New Braunfels. First off you have to eat at Huisache! This place cannot stay hidden for long. We enjoyed a creamy brie as an appetizer. They also have a great lunch specials such as the creamy tomato salmon. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Since there’s likely a wait, take some time to walk around the shops. The Art Cottage contains a group of local artists with beautiful hand-painted pieces and a soon to come pottery class. While at the Grass Market, you may also come across your next fashion or vintage find! There’s lot of cute things to find in this hidden shopping district.
