If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, you might want to check out King Ranch, one of the biggest ranches in the world, with a whopping 825,000 acres of land. You'll get a fascinating inside look at how cattle handling works on such a massive property and explore some historically significant buildings to learn about the King family, who built this impressive empire. Amazingly, Dallas was modeled after this very same ranch back in the 80s. Even though you won't bump into JR himself, taking the tour is still an incredible way to spend your time, especially if you're interested in ranching or want to experience something truly unique.

The Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History invites you to explore the natural history exhibits and a collection of artifacts that tell the history of the New World as it unfolded on the Gulf Coast. Check out the unique life-sized replicas of the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria ships. The vessels were a gift from Spain to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' voyage to the New World. They were constructed from authentic 15th-century materials, including wood from the same forest as Columbus' ships and hand-forged nails. Other exhibits include an interactive shipwreck display, artifacts related to French explorer Robert Cavelier, the Children's Wharf, Native American crafts, and bird and reptile eggs that chronicle the history and culture of South Texas.
