Bandera’s local museums pulled out all the stops for Spring Break, each lining up daily activities to entice and entertain tourists and local visitors.
The Bandera Natural History Museum featured a multitude of events, including an arrowhead presentation; hands-on experience with a camel and water buffalo from Bill Rivers’ Movieland Animals; face painting and scavenger hunts; tours of prehistoric and Ice Age animals; a close-up view of birds of prey with Last Chance Forever conservancy; and horseback riding among the dinosaurs.
The Frontier Times Museum celebrated Pioneer Day, inviting kids of all ages to make cornhusk dolls and button spinners; Frontier Art Day; Sheep Shenanigans, when guests learned how to spin wool and make felt bowls; Rodeo Day with Kevin Fitzpatrick; Cowboy Day with fresh peach cobbler; and wagon rides all week.
Both museums host a myriad of special events and activities throughout the year. To see more from the Natural History Museum, check out their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/BanderaNHM.
