The Veloway is a 3.1-mile paved loop exclusively for bikes and inline skates. Increase the velocity and hug the curves on the Veloway. Make sure you have enough momentum to climb the hill at the end.
Check out the Family Garden. The area includes more than a dozen interactive features made of natural materials including a maze made of native shrubs and a grotto with caves and a waterfall. Read more.
Do yourself a favor and bring a small hand towel with you. There are lots of areas you can stick your hand in and touch things but you will end up with a dripping wet hand the whole time!
Only $1 for kids and $2 for adults, easy parking and beautiful scenery throughout, it's fun for kids to run around and look at the dinosaurs and koi fish or just a peaceful walk for the adults
2.5 hours and still didn't see it all. Bring spare clothes as the water play options and art area could get messy if that's your kid (or you). Looking forward to returning!
Exhibits come and go at this top-flight art museum, but what never changes is the epic installation “Stacked Waters,” which gives the Blanton's atrium the feeling of a two-story-high pool of water.
Pretty awesome. I played some old school games! During day, slow beat time to go during the week, if you want all the games to yourself !! Bring cash, ATM fee 2$. I spent 20$ on all four of us.
Beautiful views. Be prepared to walk the steps! Great workout 😁. More crowded on Sundays I've noticed. I wouldn't take my dog on the crowded times.
Hit Barton Springs for some swim-at-your-own-risk exercise, or if the algae's too much for you, head over to Deep Eddy.
A residential gem in South Austin, an overgrown backyard filled with a literal mountain of artfully stacked and twisted junk that has been continually added to and morphed since 1989.
Great way to spend an hour. Kitschy and fun taxidermied conjoined animals, horror wax museum, live shows (mine was magic), and a great gift shop are a fun time.
This is a great place to both hike and take a swim. Even during drought season there are spots deep enough to jump off the cliffs and swim in. Beware of snakes near brushy areas though.
Central Texas has ice! Well, at least here it does. Escape the heat with a little ice skating fun. Just make sure to bring a jacket, even if it's over 90 degrees outside. You'll need it.
Tons of fun! Wait times can be a bit long on Friday evenings, so be prepared to settle in. Two races are enough for most people, unless you have some Andretti blood in ya.
Well, you can skate here. It ain't cheap or classy, and the food is fairly nasty, but they do have a time portal all the way back to the 80s that opens up right when you walk in.
There’s a great arcade here with BRAND SPANKIN NEW awesome games, too. ✨😍
No matter your skill level you will find some good competition and lots of fun here.
Petty cool for escape rooms. Well planned out and better than some that I've been to. Fairly challenging - we did the pirate room on medium.
Easy Tiger has the winning Austin formula: in-house bread and pastries, craft beer, ping pong, and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere, in the most improbable of places: Dirty Sixth. [Eater 38 Member]
A good place for a fun night out! 39 types of beer on tap, and tons more bottled. Great food plus shuffleboard, pool, and TVs to watch the game. Menu Must-try: the Traditional Poutine - IT ROCKS!!!
If you enjoy a great dive, you're in the right place. Order a local beer, listen to live music from the outdoor stage under the huge oak trees or watch the quirky movie but you must play SKEE BALL!
All things old-school are revered at this North Austin bar, restaurant, and play spot—from bowling & shuffleboard to deviled eggs & spiked punch (the latter in a bowl, as the venue's name suggests). Read more.
Great dart boards and outdoor seating. Love their selection of local and imported beers, great mix. Chill atmosphere, Austin style
Great bar for hanging with friends, watching a game. Nice patio area and lots of space inside. Free shuffleboard and darts. Pool for pay. Oh, and great burgers.
This cutting-edge downtown space is a hub of Austin's contemporary art scene, with a special focus on rising local talent and group shows. Awesome. Read more.
Need a bike, or anything bike related? This is THE place. Friendly, fair, knowledge, and selection.
The intermediate tour was really interesting and at 1.5 hrs, just the right amount of time. The guides know their stuff and are super friendly and entertaining.
