The Highland Lakes is filled to the brim with fun places to visit and things to see, including the Science Mill, a Wild West show, Sweet Berry Farm, and the Exotic Resort Zoo.

DINING & SHOPPING

Each town in the Highland Lakes has its own unique shops and restaurants. You can go antiquing or shopping for the latest fashions then stop for a bite of barbecue, Tex-Mex, burgers, or whatever tempts your tastebuds. The region also has thriving vineyards as well as a long list of breweries and even a few distilleries.
