This is no longer run by a private company under the name "Aquarena Springs". It is now run by the University at San Marcos. It has nature trails and picnic areas, but the real treat are the boat rides in the glass bottom boats. The water is crystal clear and the sights are interesting and fun. Kids are entertained and love it. The boat guides are knowledgeable and teach you much about the water life. Highly recommended for family fun.
