Old Town Spring — Attraction in Texas

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...

Not all the stores here are unique. But there are a few gems that are worth going through and finding and I won't spoil it by telling you which ones bc finding them is half the fun. 😬 Spoil alert down below.

They have karaoke on the weekends, horse drawn slay (I wish they had more hoses to swap during the day or this place could at least hire more than one vendor for it bc the horses do get overworked and it's not a good look), sewing classes, spiritual arts, leather working, gadgets beyond belief here, homemade bath store, crystal rock store, handmade glass store!!! Okay I'll stop bc I said I wouldn't spoil it, 🙃 anyway I've been a few times already and probably be going back too ☺️.

The food here is also pretty amazing cough Pops cough excuse me 👀

SIDE NOTE PARKING WILL BE AN ISSUE, but try to remain calm don't be afraid to...

Underwhelming. There are a few cute and quirky shops: there's a rubber duck store, and a very nice yarn shop. However, unless you're really into fudge and knick-knacks, most of the stores are not that interesting.

The museum was alright; only takes 20 minutes or so to see the whole thing (it's just one room), but it was informative.

Parking can be a pain. There are a few itty-bitty lots that you can pay to park in, but paying for parking feels silly when you're just going to walk around a small area for a few hours max. Street parking is free, but those spaces can be hard to come by (even on non-busy days - one time I went here and didn't see many people around the town, but somehow there were a ton of cars parked in the streets; it was the...
