Visit The King Ranch, the biggest and most historic of them all – includes lunch at one of the cowboy camphouses. Learn the history of the ranch and the cattle business and its importance to Texas. - Life at Sea – Seafaring over 450 Years

What a difference the students will see when they climb all over the Santa Maria compared to the Lexington, America’s longest serving aircraft carrier. The closest thing to joining the Navy! - Texas Marine Biology
