And because the last thing you want at this stage in your life is to be trapped indoors, we’ve compiled this guide to many of the Austin outdoor activities you can enjoy during your stay!

Garden Adventure

The screensavers on our laptops and PCs often scroll through a beautiful collection of flower photos, but there’s nothing quite as beautiful as the real thing! Zilker Botanical Garden, found at 2220 Barton Springs Road, is one of our favorite places to visit on a sunny day; it offers a collection of various gardens to enjoy. From the Green Garden Cactus to the Taniguchi Oriental Garden, the blooms are always cheerful, and the ambience is always peaceful. Those traveling with children will especially appreciate the charms of the Doug Blachly Butterfly Trail and Garden!

Talk to the Animals

The Austin Zoo has been a family favorite activity since opening day all the way back in 1990. Feeding the petting zoo animals with feed purchased in the gift shops, hanging outside the lion’s habitat hoping for a spine tingling roar, and enjoying snacks and beverages as we walk along the crushed gravel paths on a beautiful summer’s day are just some examples of what makes our zoo special! Tickets are quite affordable, and you can even enjoy a private tour for an additional fee.

A Walk in the Park

McKinney Falls State Park is one of the more beautiful areas in Austin, and the falls for which it is named offer the perfect spot to take your annual family photo. Popular for geocaching, hiking, and biking, you can also pack a picnic, but remember that food, coolers, alcohol, music, and frisbees are not allowed around the falls!
