The new pavilion at the Bush Library with the 4141 choochoo and presidential chopper is very nice and doesn't need a ticket like the rest of the exhibits.
- Bush Library
- Big Shots (Top Golf clone over in Bryan off Villa Maria)
- PopStroke (putt putt course)
- New St Mary's church (and say a prayer for the football team)
Or just wander around Northgate and see all the new bars/places. If you haven't been back in 15 years that area will look totally different and outside of the chicken and a few others, lots of new businesses.

Don't forget to pack your emergency travel brisket
I think Aggie park is worth a walk around as well to everything mentioned above

Top Golf bought them out.
Sounds great, any new resturants that you really enjoy?
If you want local Tex mex this restaurant is recommended by locals. Downtown Bryan
PopStroke or Top Golf would be fun.
Walking around Main Campus perhaps with a tour but it's not really necessary.
Century Square has some good restaurants.
Tons of tex mex, to be honest I like Lupe Tortilla the best
Gate 12 Restaurant at the airport is cool and you can watch the planes take off and land, food is above average, slightly

Absolutely nothing has changed.
Traffic should be non-existant. Parking is amazingly easy as always & good solid decisions by TexDot and city planners have made getting around flawless....

Big Shots / Top Golf is closed while they rebrand
Answering machine says grand reopening will be announced soon

They reopen Oct 18th
My absolute favorite Tex-mex in town. Just outside of downtown
Yea I know
If you or your boys are into military stuff, the Museum of the American GI by Santa's Wonderland is pretty cool.
I had my bday dinner there for Notre Dame game. The food and service were excellent. First time back in 9 years.aggiepaintrain said:

Bush Library is cool. Also be sure to visit the Bonfire Memorial if you haven't been.
Gate 12 does seem interesting. My oldest son wants to be a pilot, so that might be a must place to visit. He has his flight hrs completed just has to wait another year to be 17. He turns 16 today so.we are celebrating.
Gate 12 is fun. Make reservations for game weekends.
Yeah. Make sure you drive West on University Dr towards Snook and you can experience the world's largest round about...O.G. said:

Must have missed the roundabout on 60.
If you turned university-Welborn-George Bush-Texas to one giant roundabout around campus, you might be close to the world's largest.
Looking on satellite imagery the city has grown like crazy. I may or may not have had some great bowhunting days between the Poultry Farm and Easter wood back in the day.
Don't know if Coco Loco still has the green sauce, but

Looks kids...big ben...parliament...
Schedule a tour of Kyle Field. Lots of changes there. You get to go inside the stadium and see many areas most people don't see while watching the game. Walk through Sam Houston Corps of Cadet Center. It's across the street from Aggie Park. Lots of history about the Corps. Also a wonderful gun collection.

Take them to north gate for some female viewing after the game, it'll ensure they want to go to A&M.
Headed that way!! This is gonna be EPIC !!!
Bonfire Memorial.

A.P., don't know how much time you have allocated for this trip, but if your son wants to be a pilot, what about maybe attending the game today, eat at a nice restaurant tonight, then tomorrow, head over to the Wings Over Houston airshow at Ellington Airport? There, your son will get to see the Blue Angels perform, as well as the F-16 Demo Team, a bunch of restored WWII aircraft flying, and some aerobatic pilots. In addition, they have a bunch of static military aircraft parked on the tarmac you can walk around and put hands on. It's going on today and tomorrow. I believe you can still buy some general admission tickets. I go to it every year, and I always have a great time.

I'm with you. I'd just eat wings n more and drink cold beer from their goblets. Best memories.
1775 BBQ! It's changed so you might want to just walk around campus and look at all the old locations before they build something on top of them.
We visited some of campus last night. Toured the Tec center, got to watch some aggie baseball from the rec pavilion on our tour as well. The boys are compleatly blown away. I am as well with how much it has grown and changed here. Absolutely incredible!!! We attended midnight yell and are about to head somewhere and eat. Maybe Gate 12 or 1775, not sure yet. My wife does love some Mexican food and we hear they have food trucks around Aggie park? I want the boys see the core march and hopefully the players walk in. So far they are just shocked.. I'm proud now they have an idea what my brother and I were able to experience here years ago.
Are there food trucks on campus?
