Everything above is a dated item a venue published itself, quoted word for word and linked back. Nothing is a listing anyone paid for, and no price appears here that the venue did not print.

The pick of this weekend is 6 of the 64, one to a region and one to a kind of day out, chosen for being on this Saturday or Sunday rather than on all year, shortest runs first, and each at a place with a photograph of its own. Everything else is listed above.

This page moves on to the next weekend on its own, from what Texas attractions publish on their own websites.

Looking further ahead? Every attraction’s own page carries its full what’s on list.
