Kyle is situated in Hays County, Texas and is one of the fastest growing cities in Texas. The nearest major airport is Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, which is only 27 miles (43.5 kilometers) away from the center of Kyle. In most months, Kyle experiences a pleasant climate and sunny weather, but I recommend you visit the city in October when the climate is cool with no humidity. Here, tourists can enjoy the swimming pools, games for kids, a library for book lovers, a golf course, park and much more. Find out all the best things to do in Kyle, Tx:

1. Plum Creek Golf Course
