College Station, Texas

People around the country recognize College Station for its famous “howdy” hospitality, top-notch sports facilities, amazing dining and diverse lodging choices—a dream destination for sports tournaments and other events that return year after year.

Conveniently located in the heart of Central Texas, an easy drive from Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio, our experienced team of industry professionals are here to guarantee every event is successful and runs seamlessly.   In addition to world-class and welcoming City facilities, Compete College Station also has preferred access to Texas A&M University’s exceptional NCAA Division 1 athletic facilities that serve as home to our champion student-athletes in more than 20 varsity sports.

Founded in 1876 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, Texas A&M University boasts a rich history. Over time, Texas A&M blossomed into a university celebrated for its dedication to education, research and service and is one of the largest public universities in the country.  There’s much to take in as you explore the campus.

The George H.W. Bush Presidential Library & Museum tell the story of the life and times of George H. W. Bush, 41st President of the United States. Family-friendly and educational exhibits guide visitors through an interactive tour of the museum. View replicas of President Bush’s Camp David Office and White House Press Room, receive a briefing on the Gulf War in the Situation Room or have your picture taken while seated at the desk in our replica Oval Office.  In addition, you can stroll the beautiful and tranquil grounds including the Barbara Bush Rose Garden and the Presidential Pond, also where the Bush Family gravesite is located.  intrigue

An exciting mixed-use destination adjacent to Texas A&M University, the 30-acre Century Square development creates a dynamic community center where people congregate from across the region to experience a walkable, urban destination. The project features amazing shopping and dining, a Star Cinema Grill, two full-service hotels and an activated central lawn where you’ll always find live music and other family-friendly events.

Embark on an outdoor journey—from the serene hiking trails of Lick Creek Park to the inviting expanses of Wolf Pen Creek and Central Park’s Fun for All Playground, there’s an adventure waiting for enthusiasts and families alike.
