It's a great place to walk around on a beautiful day. Lots of shopping, places to eat, and of course people watching. There are many festivals offered throughout the year: Crawfish Festival, Wine Festivals, Art Walks, Pet Fests, and Hot Rod shows.

Food choices range from casual to fine dining. There's street food, fried stuff, sweets, tea rooms, comfort food, and did I mention fried stuff? Some of the best burgers can be had at Hyde's cafe or Wunsche Bros. For a sweet treat try a cupcake from Cake Swirl, a fried Oreo from the Loose Caboose, or fudge from the Little Dutch Girl. If wine is your thing, there are several tasting rooms. They mainly offer sweeter Texas wines, but Envy wine room offers bolder high end California wines.

Old Town Spring had a lot of history and even a few ghosts. There's a museum at the entrance and ghost tours are offered on the weekend. I live nearby, and go often. I don't feel it's a tourist trap at all. I think it has lots of charm.
