Unique Experiences in Boerne

Looking for a unique way to spend the day with your family? Within just a short drive of Boerne, you can create, taste, and explore together. From picking peaches to crafting animal planters, throwing pottery, making chocolate, churning ice cream, and doing DIY projects with your kids, this is the perfect unplugged, memory-making experience.

At Handmade on Main (opens in a new tab) in downtown Boerne, kids can create their own animal-themed planter. They’ll choose a cute pot, add soil, rocks, and a plant to bring home—a fun, simple activity for little hands.

• Sunrise Pottery (opens in a new tab) offers wheel-throwing lessons for beginners (ages 7+), where you can make bowls, mugs, and keepsakes.
• For younger children, Maker’s Place Studio (opens in a new tab) offers hand-building and paint-your-own pottery, making it easy for everyone to join in.

Bring out your inner maker at The Downtown DIY (opens in a new tab), where kids can join crafting classes or camps. Activities include candle-making, textile projects, mermaid terrariums, painted clocks, and more.

Take a short drive to San Antonio to Alamo City Chocolate Factory (opens in a new tab) or book a hands-on chocolate class via Cozymeal. Kids learn how to temper chocolate, roll truffles, and decorate their own sweet treats.

Wrap up your adventure at Parker’s Ice Creams (opens in a new tab) in Fair Oaks Ranch, where kids can churn and flavor their own ice cream. It’s the sweetest ending to a hands-on family day.
