Spring into the West without ever leaving the River Walk at the Briscoe Western Art Museum! Normally closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, extended hours during spring break mean the Briscoe will be open 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. each day March 7 – 18, giving everyone the opportunity to lasso some Western fun this spring. With the museum’s location in the heart of the River Walk, it’s a great stop for families exploring downtown – and anyone enjoying the St. Patrick’s Day parades and festivities March 16-17.

The Briscoe is also hosting its annual Spring Break Roundup March 11-16. Art and craft activities, building with LEGOs, stories and fun capture the excitement and adventure of the West for all ages, while adults can get in on the fun with an evening painting session served with a side of margaritas. The come-and-go family programs includes activities that celebrate the heritage and culture of the American West. Different activities will be available each day, bringing the West to life in a variety of hands-on ways.

Spring Break Roundup is included in museum admission, with no charge for craft supplies and no reservations required. The adults-only painting session is a ticketed event for those 21 and up. Children 12 and under and active duty military members always receive free admission to the Briscoe, making it a wonderful destination for family fun. Caregivers must accompany participating children for each activity.
