Texans love a good time, especially if alcohol is involved. There's not much that beats sipping an ice-cold Lone Star or a massive margarita, but there's some Texas fun to be had without all the booze.

Sure, bottomless mimosa brunches and super cheap happy hours are a blast, but sometimes that can get a bit old.

Perhaps you've been over the bar scene lately and you're wanting to change things up. With a state as large as Texas, you definitely won't run out of things to do, so here are seven activities you can do that don't include drinking alcohol.
