We have the Austin Petting Zoo with the Wild Thing Zoofari for the kids, exploring at the Inner Space Cavern, and the unique (and a little scary!) fun of the Bats Under the Congress Avenue Bridge event, watching hundreds of bats take flight every night at dusk! Lots of local shops and cafes make for pleasant weekend outings. There is something for everyone here. Read Less
