Austin Family Travel Tips
Family Overview: Austin, Texas
Three hundred sunny days a year and a diverse mix of nature trails, parks, and greenbelts make Austin a Texas-Hill-Country oasis. And 351-acre Zilker Metropolitan Park is the beating heart of green Austin. Kids especially like the playscape of slides and swings and the Zilker Zephyr, a miniature train that runs through the park. Ponds, plants, and dino footprints form the dinosaur habitat at Zilker Botanical Gardens. Two spring-fed community pools, Barton Springs and Deep Eddy, draw families looking to cool off from searing Lone Star State summer temps. Deep Eddy offers shallow waters and summertime Saturday evening movies. At the park's Austin Nature & Science Center, which showcases the flora, fauna, and geology of central Texas, kids can dig up replicas of fossils found in Texas and crawl through a Hill Country cave. Fly a kite anytime in the park, but especially in March, when the facility hosts the Annual Zilker Park Kite Festival.
