Best Western - Port Aransas, TX

Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Texas

While in Texas, you might enjoy a visit to:

Motel with rooms inside Indian teepee-shaped buildings -- restored and opened in late 2006.
~121 miles from Port Aransas.

Must-see attraction for anyone with a sense of adventure, a tolerance for bad smells, and no small children.

Faithful, roughly three-quarter-size, replica of the Druid original in England. Why it was built is, well, a mystery.

Probably the only museum in the world in which waitresses come up to you as you tour and ask, "Want a beer?"
~140 miles from Port Aransas.

Blarney Stone and Irish-themed town of Shamrock, Texas.

This is the home of "Old Sparky," the state's retired electric chair.

For over 30 years Barney Smith, master plumber, has turned toilet seats into works of art. He works in his garage, and he loves visitors.
~143 miles from Port Aransas.
