I love this museum. It is educational and entertaining. For those who grew up learning Texas history, this is a great place to go see displays and artifacts from the history we learned up close and personal. But it's also a great place for others who are curious about learning Texas history. You can learn a lot by going through the museum. There's so much to see. It would probably take the whole afternoon to go through the museum itself.

These folks really know bikes. The staff is so knowledgeable and their repair department is excellent. We've also had great luck buying the kids bikes there.

My 4 year old son has been attending this daycare since he was 5 months old. Overall, it has been a descent daycare facility. The staff is very friendly, the price includes meals for children 2 years and up, and the hours are 7 am - 6:00 pm M-F.
They also have an after school program which, in some cases, will pick up your child from surrounding schools and take them to the daycare facility until you can pick them up after work.
The only complaints I can see is the employee turnover rate for some of the classes. My son is on his third preschool teacher for the past year.

No matter what type of party you are having Austin Party Cruises can provide what you need. So if you are having a company party, a wedding reception, of just a group of friends hanging out a party boat is a great idea. You can even swim from the boat or just sit back and relax.

Ozone Bike Department is a cool place next to Thundercloud subs where we bought my girlfriend her first "expensive" bike. They have a great selection and their prices are about average for a bike store. Thankfully, the staff in the store do not work on commission so they have no real incentive to make you buy crap you don't need. We got a great deal on a great bike for my girlfriend. We spent under $500 for a bike, a helmet, and a great buying experience. Lastly, they carry some very vintage looking bikes that I see tons of people around Austin riding. Check them out for any of your biking needs.

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.

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.

Hamilton Pool is the most beautiful swimming hole I've come across in the Austin area. It is a county park, so admission is $8/day, but it is so worth it! The pool is surrounded by a tall natural rock wall full of romantic waterfalls. If you don't feel like swimming, there are also some beautiful hiking trails around. But go early! Admission is limited to a certain number. It makes the environment great, but if you come when the park is at capacity, they only let cars in as others exit.

This is one of the better Bingo halls in Austin. The parking lot is huge, with plenty of parking. The payouts are big, cards are affordable and the people are really nice. The food is GREAT and on certain days they have dabber specials and more! I wish it were closer to home but it's worth the trip!

My 6yr. old daughter went to camp at Woods Stables and LOVED it. I was thoroughly impressed with the way that Brad and Mitzi run the camp. We've already signed her up for a second week! I will recommend to anyone looking for a safe, fun horse camp.
