Tour one of the largest ranches in the world today, the renown King Ranch, now covers 825,000 acres—more land than the state of Rhode Island. Tours showcase the inner workings of cattle handling, along with the property's historically significant buildings. This is the ranch the 80s TV show "Dallas" was modeled after. Although you won't find JR, you'll find plenty of history on the King family, who created the empire.

Have some fun in the sun at the Aransas Pass Aquatic Center. The family fun attraction is equipped with water slides, and a 50,000-gallon kiddie pool to ensure the whole family has a splashing-good time. Remember to use sunscreen!

Stride the streets of Downtown Corpus Christi and experience what is perhaps the most curious, peculiar yet extraordinarily fantastic festive moments ever imagined, Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead Street Festival, celebrating the lives we knew and miss and yet joyfully inviting all not only to pay respects to the dead but also celebrate the full life that makes and solidifies our cherished memories. This rich Mexican tradition is transformed into a slice of life to its fullest, alive and kicking with multiple stages of live entertainment, traditional Mexican culture performances, and local bands. You’ll find Día de Los Muertos-themed artworks, Wall and Altars of Remembrance, craft items, jewelry, fun children’s activities, challenging games and plenty of food as the festival takes over several blocks of Downtown held at the end of October.  

Have a romantic dinner at what could be the nicest restaurant in Corpus Christi. Your significant other will feel like royalty when you take them out to the Republic of Texas Bar & Grill on your next date. Be sure to sample from their award winning wine list.
