September 10th 2026 | Saige Diaz
Grandparents Day is Sunday, September 13!
It’s a sweet reminder to celebrate the grandparents and grandparent figures who love, encourage, spoil 😉, teach, and pour into our kids.
And you don't have to plan anything elaborate. Sometimes the best gift is simply spending time together.
If you're looking for something special to do, we've rounded up 8 ways to celebrate Grandparents Day in and around Boerne this weekend—from special Grandparents Day events to simple (and FREE!) ways to make memories together.

5. 🦆 Pack a Picnic & Walk River Road — FREE
Sometimes simple is best.
Pack Grandma and Grandpa’s favorite lunch and head to River Road Park. Walk along the Cibolo, look for turtles and ducks, bring the fishing poles, or find a shady spot for a picnic.
While you’re there, ask Grandma or Grandpa to tell the kids a story about what they were like at their age. ❤️
6. 📸 Be a Tourist in Your Own Town — FREE
Take Grandma and Grandpa for a stroll along the Hill Country Mile.
Explore downtown Boerne, look at some of the historic buildings, window shop, take family pictures and stop somewhere for a treat.
You could even let the kids interview their grandparents about what life was like when they were growing up.
7. 🧡 Visit The DoSeum — Grandparents Get 50% Off
If you’re willing to make the drive into San Antonio, The DoSeum is celebrating Grandparents Appreciation Month throughout September.

8. 🦛 Have Grandparents Day Brunch at the San Antonio Zoo

Tickets are $54.99 for adults and $24.99 for children, and zoo admission or membership is required separately. More Info Here
❤️ Sometimes the Best Gift is Time
Grandparents Day doesn’t have to mean buying another gift.
Go for a walk. Share a meal. Look through old photos. Let Grandma teach the kids a favorite recipe. Ask Grandpa to take them fishing. Have the kids make cards or ask their grandparents questions about their childhood.
The activity isn’t really the important part—the time together is.
Whether you’re heading to a special event or simply gathering around the dinner table this Sunday, take a little extra time to celebrate the grandparents and grandparent figures who pour so much love into our families.
Happy Grandparents Day from Boerne Love! ❤️
Love where you live.
