Being a member of ATPE comes with many discounts for travel services. This includes a discount and rewards marketplace that can save you money on auto rentals, theme park admissions, hotels, and cruises.

There are several lesser-known places to visit across Texas that provide a fun and interesting getaway for you and your family. These locations include some of the most interesting museums to visit across the state. While many know of the Space Center in Houston, you may not have heard of the Mexican Cultural Institute in San Antonio, the Dallas Holocaust Museum, or the Texas State Railroad museum in Palestine.

However, for those looking for more of an adventure, you’ll find it in plenty of spots across Texas, including Gorman Falls in the Hill Country, Pedernales Falls State Park, and the Caverns of Sonora. You can tour the Longhorn Cave State Park, which features a mile-long cave. If you are looking for a thrill, visit one of the most haunted locations in Texas at Yorktown Memorial Hospital.

In case it is a weird attraction you seek, consider visiting the Beer Can House in Houston, or the World’s Largest Can of Oatmeal in … well … Oatmeal. The World’s Largest Pecan is housed in Seguin, and the Toilet Seat Museum sits in San Antonio. Many know of Big Tex in Dallas, but there are haunted tours in Austin, which include riding around the most haunted areas of the city in a 1992 Cadillac Hearse.

Regardless of the vacation and adventure you take, be sure to check out ATPE’s Member Discounts page to pick the options that best suit your needs so you can save money and focus on having a good time!
