Wimberley is blessed with a location on the banks of Cypress Creek and the Blanco River surrounded by the Texas Hill Country. As a result, there are great outdoor activities nearby.

Shopping
Wimberley is full of unique shops that offer traditional and not-so-traditional art and wares. Although the primary shopping areas are clustered around the "Square" and "Olde Towne Plaza", there are also shops sprinkled throughout other areas. The first Saturday of each month, April through December, Market Days draws visitors from around the state.

Theatre
Many rural towns had outdoor movie theatres years ago. Wimberley still has one. The Corral Theatre features first run movies every Friday and Saturday night from Memorial Day through Labor Day. You can even bring your own chair. Call 847-2513 for shows and times. If your taste runs to live action, try the EmilyAnn Theatre or Wimberley Players for year round events.

Site-Seeing
For those who just like to walk and see the sites, Wimberley is full of beautiful views and rich history. A pause at the bridge over Cypress Creek or, for the more vigorous, a walk up the steps to the top of Old Baldy are certainly worth the trip

Additional Activities
Take a step back in time to an 1880's Pioneer Town at the 7A Ranch Resort with plenty of activities for the whole family! Wimberley also offers many unique art galleries, including Wimberley Glass Works, with entertaining glass blowing demonstrations seven day a week. Take a leisurely stroll through a working vineyard and taste some fabulous Texas Hill Country wines at Driftwood Vineyards. Pick your own blackberries while touring a working olive orchard at the Bella Vista Ranch. Get your family photographs taken while cutting your own lavender at the Rough Creek Lavender Fields.

Camping - Swimming - Hiking
Many of the resorts and camps around town have Blanco River access, pools and hiking trails. Blue Hole, a Texas Treasure, has long been a destination in the Texas Hill Country for swimming, camping, and enjoying nature along spring-fed Cypress Creek, often being named one of Texas' top ten swimming holes. Check here for Hours of Operation and Prices.

Tube of San Marcos
The San Marcos River is one of the most loved family recreation areas for several reasons. The constant 72 degree water comes from the beautiful, natural Aquarena Springs and helps create the relaxing atmosphere and gorgeous scenery. The river creates an environment harmonizing nature and families.

For the whole family...
Take a dip in one of our cool, crystal clear rivers or streams at either 7A Ranch or the new Texas Historical Swimming Hole at the Cypress Falls Lodge.
