H-E-B Free First Sunday: Texas Water

The Bullock Texas State History Museum is opening its doors for free on Sunday, September 6, as part of its H-E-B Free First Sunday program. This month's theme is Texas Water, and the day is built around family activities centered on the state's water resources, with a film screening added to the mix.

If you've never been, the Bullock is downtown at 1800 Congress Ave. It tells the story of Texas across three floors of interactive exhibits, with special-effects shows in the Texas Spirit Theater and the city's premier IMAX theater. The H-E-B Free First Sunday program is how the museum opens those doors to the community, bringing in community partners and themed family activities for the day. This time, the focus is on Texas water, so the activities will follow that lead.

It's a good way to spend a Sunday morning or afternoon with kids in tow, especially since you can wander through the permanent exhibits without paying for admission. The museum is open from 10 AM to 5 PM, and admission is free for the day. You'll find the Bullock at 1800 Congress Ave in downtown Austin.
