As a city situated in the Houston, Woodlands and Sugar Land metropolitan area in Texas, Alvin features many interesting points of interest. That is why the city is worth visiting for a day or two, preferably over the weekend if you also live in Texas. The first point of interest that you cannot miss is the Brazos Bend State Park, a little piece of paradise for nature lovers. Located only 45 miles (72.4 km) from Houston downtown, the park features six lakes and observatory. In addition to absorbing the beauty of nature, you can also enjoy some outdoor activities such as hiking, biking and having a picnic. While in the park, be sure to visit the observatory called the George Observatory, where you can see three domed telescopes. One of the telescopes is the largest telescope in the United States named the Gueymard Research Telescope. Afterwards, you should head to the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge, a place where you can have a close encounter with birds and other wildlife animals.
