For $7 an hour, this is a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. Be sure to bring water and sunscreen and a sealed bag to prtect them in case you flip over. I like to go out into Town Lake and then over towards MoPac. This is also a fun activity for visitors.

Zilker park is by far the best park in Austin. There is always tons of events going on, especially on weekends. Their botanical gardens are phenomenal. I also like their plant sales which they hold several times per year. This park is a great place to go for a picnic, or to take the dogs. Truly the best park in Austin.

I wish that I lived closer to the Zilker Park area so that I could visit more often. The Zilker Park Botanical Garden is so beautiful that my my husband and I almost got married in the Rose Garden there. If it hadn't been for the hot August summers and those pesky bumble bees! I was so impressed with the care of the grounds and garden. The stafff are so nice and it is obvious they take great pride in the appearance of the entire area. The center also lends their buildings to classes. I took a class there about Butterflies that was very enjoyable several years ago. It is definitely a must see if you are visiting the Austin area.

This is the only place to buy kites in my opinion. Their selection can't be beat and the prices are fantastic. The only problem is that there are so many great choices that it can take awhile to narrow it down.
Everyone at this store is helpful and nice. If you need assistance in learning how to fly a kite or have other questions, they are more than willing to help you. They are extremely educated in the art of kit flying.

Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve has been around since the early 1970’s and was founded to protect endangered species and hundreds of native plants, animals and birds in the Hill Country. There is over 200 acres of wilderness and beauty and visitors can hike over 2 miles of the trails. Great quiet place to get away from the city, house and telephones! It’s just beautiful and a great learning experience for the kids! Don’t forget the camera! Oh, yeah, it's free! They do accept donations.

If you are looking for something fun to do with your family you should consider heading over to Westgate Lanes to bowl a couple of games. The bowling alley is very clean and the staff is friendly. When you plan on going be sure to call and make sure they don't have league bowling that night or you will be very disappointed when you can't get a lane.
