The art class I took here was the best class I've ever taken. Angel Loo is a rising artist whose…read morework is now being commissioned as well as displayed. He's being commissioned to do huge waterscape painting. More than that, he delights in teaching. He leads group and private classes that teach beginners to create amazing wave paintings. What was outstanding, though, was the way he teaches you techniques to create scenes that look realistic. He shares a gallery called The Art Lounge with other artists, who are great in their own right His classes are not to be missed and private or group, are at low prices!

This is a wonderful place to peruse beautiful artwork done by local artists and artisans, many of whom are inspired by the native beauty here on South Padre.

We loved Bobz World! It's not your normal 5 star establishment but I'm giving 5 stars for so many…read moreother reasons. 5 stars for it being something unlike anything else I've ever seen and in the middle of nowhere at that. 5 stars for the prices & selection of the souvenirs, so much better than on the island or laguna vista. Is it run down? Yes! Isn't most everything in this area? The attitude of the employees was shocking too, there was only 1 guy there when we got there, he was running the entire massive place and didn't complain one bit, was happy to help and that was so refreshing. Later we met another girl working the rundown arcade who was just as nice and helpful :), so 5 stars for staff. We went on a Saturday from 3-5:30pm and we're basically the only ones there so I can understand why it's rundown, they don't have the money to do the upkeep but it was pretty cool to see once. My 3 littles enjoyed it, my mom enjoyed reading about everything in the journey too. So love it or hate it, it's cool to check out for something to do while in town and need a break from the beach (with sunburn like us). It's a one time thing, I can't really see coming back with the condition the games and everything is in. Just have low expectations and be surprised :). Laser Tag was closed, they said it's been closed since Covid started. Just FYI.

We picked out our favorite pieces and were able to do this without destroying a thing. I appreciate that the gift shop prices were decent. This mommy loved it for many reasons, including getting through it in half an hour with children I did not have to threaten to take out of this world. I believe my kids enjoyed it more than they let on! Don't forget it is free to get in, just don't forget to sign the guest book.
