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!)
