Dinner & A Show! First, check out Alamo Springs Cafe across the way! Old Tunnel State Park is an abandoned railroad tunnel, part of the Fredericksburg and Northern Railway line, which closed in 1942. Repurposed by nature, this bat cave of sorts is now Texas’s smallest state park, where a spinning monolith of aerial critters—some traveling as high as 10,000 feet and as far as 60 miles and back—issues forth into the sky. Burgers and bats: it’s like going to a fancy restaurant and a Broadway show—only better.
