Things to do in Beaumont with Kids!

by Jill Jarvis 3 Comments

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!

 

Willy Burger in Beaumont

 

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!

 

Things to do in Beaumont Fire Museum

 

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!)

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
