Places on South Padre for families to go/do stuff?

[Roscoe]

I have a great client who asked where he should take his family for a SP getaway.. I haven't been in 10+ years, but thought I'd ask those here that go often.

Any ideas?

Stay at hilton that place is the best on the island imo

Do the turtle rescue thru the summer very good family event so is sunset horseback riding.

Go into town/mainland to do the giant minigolf/ripley museum thing.

Definitely do the turtle rescue. Pretty cool, I really liked that when I was a kid.

Thanks for the ideas thus far... Any others?

Hopefully things have picked back up since we where there last year. Economy is suffering down there. Lots of restaurants closed down. We ended up going to Port A this year. The turtle thing is cool and if they have kids, theres schlitterbahn. I agree on the Hilton too. There are some shops and stuff to do over the bridge in Port Isabel as well. The last couple times we went, they had horseback riding on the beach down in towards the end of the island where it hasnt been developed.

Take a short drive to Matamoros... Wear touristy clothes.


Enjoy.
