Things to do in Beaumont with Kids!

Have two days? Here are the things to do in Beaumont… with kids!

I casually mentioned to Tracy of SheLovesScience that I was planning a short trip from Houston to Beaumont… and she sent me a two day itinerary!

Look below for what to do, where to eat and a map… and tell us what to add!

 

 

From Houston Mom, Tracy:

Day 1 in Beaumont:

1. Play at Colorado Canyon

• Head to play at either of the two 18-hole miniature golf courses in the morning before it gets too hot
• Cool off inside the Arcade
• Check out their Tyrannosaurus foot print, dinosaur femur, gemstones and fossil samples

2. Lunch at Willy’s

• Head for Lunch at a popular local hamburger joint Willy’s
• See if you can spot the cue-ball wall while eating a fantastic burger

3. Play at Beaumont Children’s Museum

4. Dinner at J. Wilsons

• Another great local favorite. Sandwiches, hamburgers, and salads on the menu with a large selection. The kids loved the nachos.
• If you sit in the back you can have a view of a fire station and even get to watch it pull in the garage or leave!

5. Dessert at Snobiz!

• Walk from JWilsons to get a snow cone at a local snow cone stand!

 

 

Day 2 in Beaumont:

1. Play at the Fire Museum 

• Take your picture with the 24 foot Dalmatian fire hydrant that actually works!
• The museum is free to enter. They only ask for donation and to sign the guest book
• There is a model fire truck you can imagine what it feels like to be a modern firefighter and even see how long it takes you to dress in a fireman uniform.
• Upstairs learn how to dial 911 on a phone and talk to a simulated operator to report a fire
• Climb into a model home to figure out how to get out of an upstairs window

2. Lunch at Greenlight Kitchen

• You can walk to the Greenlight Kitchen from the Fire museum and enjoy a burger, chicken sandwich or salad.

3. Pick between:

• Edison Museum
• Texas Energy Museum
• Spindletop Museum (Water gushers happen once a week this summer!)
