We love Granbury, Texas! It is one of the best towns in Texas, but it is also one of the most interesting places in Texas for our family! It has some of the key items that families who embark on road trips across Texas need for their journey - great shopping, awesome food, and amazing people who are very helpful in making your weekend or week-long adventure a life long memory for your family!

1 - Stay at the Hilton Garden Inn (Wonderful Weekend Brunch)
The Hilton Garden Inn is the best hotel in Granbury. Our family loves to stay there during Texas staycations or when our family wants to visit the area!

2 - Rent a Kayak, Bicycle at Waterside Sports!
This has been one of the best, newest, family-friendly businesses that we have encountered. You can rent bicycles, kayaks, and other fun items at the Waterside Sports booths at the Granbury City Beach!

3 - Play in the Granbury City Park
We love the Granbury City Park! The playground is under a very large pavilion to shade children from the hot sun. It is a great place to experience in the morning or in the early evening! Awesome experience, by far! There are also great (covered) picnic areas as well!

4 - Have Breakfast or Lunch at Paradise Bistro on the Granbury Square
Oh my goodness, their breakfast items, coffee, and other morning treats (and sweets) are amazing! Enjoy the atmosphere, the art, and the fact that the Paradise Bistro and Coffee Company provides a great view of the square. This is also a great Pokestop for your family if you play Pokemon Go! Also, there is a great Restaurant.com coupon for the Bistro as well!

5 - Experience the Granbury City Beach
The Granbury City Beach has a large sandy area, great parking, and an amazing atmosphere. The kids can have fun in the kid-centric splash pad while mom and dad have a relaxing moment!

6 - Visit the Smallest State Park in Texas!
The smallest state park in Texas according to the Texas Historical Commission is the Grave of Elizabeth Crockett in Acton, Texas. Shall we say more? You should definitely check this historical attraction off of your list!

7 - Have Dinner at Palio's Pizza Cafe!
This is such great restaurant (Palio's Pizza Cafe) that is a newcomer to Granbury! I've never seen the parking lot empty!

8 - Prepare a Picnic by Purchasing Custom Ready to Eat Meals from the Kroger Marketplace Deli!
This is such a neat experience! As a millennial family, we are always on the lookout for neat experiences that our little one can experience without having to make a huge effort! That is why we LOVE selecting our meat (or main dish) and two side dishes as part of the ready-to-eat meals in the Kroger Marketplace Deli! We usually select these on Sunday and make a Sunday meal out of our salmon dish and some wonderful corn casserole. In the fall and early spring, we plan to take our meals to the Granbury City Beach!

9 - Experience Farm-Raised Food, Cottage Foods, and Hand Made Items at the Acton Local Market
The Acton Local Market is a DO NOT MISS Saturday Event when visit Granbury on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Saturday of each month Saturdays. We will usually go at the beginning of the day with reusable bags in our hands. The potatoes are delectable and the atmosphere is very family friendly! Our family loves this experience on Saturdays!

10 - Walk Along the Granbury Board Walk (by the Conference Center and Hilton Garden Inn)
The Granbury Board Walk is a wonderful experience in early mornings after breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn or during the early evenings after visiting the Granbury City Beach. This is truly a refreshing experience when visiting Granbury!

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!
