From the Rio Grande to the Stars in Laredo Texas

What brings most people through Laredo Texas it the trade industry between Mexico and the United States. Almost half of what is traded between America and Mexico works its way through Laredo. This large port of entry has 5 bridges that cross the Rio Grande and keep the port authorities very busy. But this is not all that is going on in Laredo. There are some great family activities to participate in for the locals and visitors. If you find yourself having a day off from local business get out and explore more of what the town has to offer.  

The Republic of the Rio Grande Capitol Building Museum is a good place to start. The offer some guided tours for kids and adults all year. If you are in charge of entertaining a group of co workers you should talk to them about group activities. The museum is located in the historical capitol building and has a great story to tell about the short lived Republic of Rio Grande with pictures and 19th century furniture. They have restored some of the rooms of the old capitol building including kitchen, bedroom, office and sitting area. The staff is qualified to take visitors on walking tours of the city including some of the many historical buildings still standing.  

Laredo is the home of the Texas A&M International University Planetarium. This is an excellent place to spend a little time in the galaxies far away. Great new digital technology and visions from other galaxies are combined here to put on some great shows from unseen stars with powerful telescopes. The TAMIU will keep you and your family completely entertained with the hottest rock music set to swirling worm holes and incredible lights. They have many different shows you won’t want to miss.

All you need now is a room at one of the great   hotels laredo has available and you can get a front row seat to some great history and visions of the worlds beyond.
