Weekend Trips Near Lake Charles

At just under two and a half hours away from Lake Charles, I'm pretty sure you can find something to do year round in Kemah, Texas. Leisure, restaurants, shopping, and more. There's something to do, I guarantee it.

At just under three hours from Lake Charles, Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas is a fun getaway no matter the time of year, and there's plenty of hotels nearby for you to relax and forget about the I-10 & I-210 traffic.

There's golf, an aquarium, a rain forest, and more to enjoy.

You're probably asking yourself, how is an upscale mall a weekend getaway? If you're asking that question, it means you've never visited the Galleria in Houston. The mall is huge. It has a hotel connected to it, which I've stayed in, plenty of shopping, ice skating, and great restaurants in the area within waking distance.

Worried about expensive rooms? Head on over to Priceline.com and name your price for the best deals.

Roughly two hours away is a trip you can take the kids along for. Nestled in Downtown Houston lives your favorite animals like lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my! Corny, but I couldn't contain myself.

Taking the kids to the zoo this weekend? Might as well take them to the aquarium as well for a weekend they won't forget.
