I liked the drive through zoo. It was really fun although I’ll be honest the ostriches kinda freaked me out lmao. We didn’t get food to feed them but they were peering into everyone’s cars

Doing the Riverwalk is always fun, it’s in the Downtown area and there are a lot of shops and restaurants by it. There is a Japanese tea garden that you can go see for free, botanical garden and zoo. Also you have to try a bean and cheese taco from anywhere they are delicious lol.
