You can also mix portions of two of them for the price of the more expensive tour. For example, you could go to Wonder World Park in the morning and shopping in the afternoon.
San Marcos is the county seat of Hays County. The Spanish tried unsuccessfully to settle the area in 1755. The first white person to settle in the vicinity of the San Marcos Springs was Thomas G. McGehee in November 1846. It received its charter in 1848. Texas State University is located here.
