The Port of Brownsville is more than ships

and trains and the trucks we fill.

We’ve got fun things to climb,

mechanical bulls and things that thrill!

We’ve got boat rides and tours and lots to do.

Good things to eat and tattoos, too.

Coast Guard ships and helicopters

and boats galore!

You’d be surprised at just how much more.

We’ve got slithery snakes and pelicans

and fish that fight!

Even admirals and captains - it’s quite a sight.

We’ve got exhibits and things that make you

scream “wheeee!”

Prizes and face painting and, it’s all FREE!
