For visitors and locals alike, enjoying the historical sites, going antique shopping, and getting out in nature for family-friendly adventures are just part of what makes this town special. Here are some things to do this fall to entertain young and old.
Disc Golf After Dark
Alvin boasts the country’s only dedicated night lit disc golf course at Briscoe Park. It is 18 holes of fun in a 42-acre course. You can certainly do this course during the day, but after the sun goes down, the place lights up and you are immersed in nature, with walking trail access. The course lights are on until 10:30pm, so bring your frisbee and have some fun.
