Everything's better in Austin (isn't that a fact!). Everyone needs a little fun in their life and what better city to find it in than Austin? Austin is a fun place! Time to get the image of "state capitol" and "UT Longhorns" out of your head because Austin has so much more to offer. Tons of fun adventurous tours await you!
How do you feel about bats? Well, Congress Bridge is one of Austin's most popular spots because it is home to over a million of bats. This is a spectacular sight to see because the bats fly out just before sunset every night from March-November. The most amazing part is that they don't all fly out in one large swoop, rather they fly out more or less on their own time, causing the process to last for a relatively long time. There are several ways/places you can go to watch this spectacular sight, including bat watching boat tours, kayaking tours, bike tours and multiple restaurants. This has become one of the most beautiful yet unusual sights to see in Texas so don't miss out!
If you are looking for some education to go along with a side of fun, then Austin Duck Adventures is right up your alley. The tour is a combined land/water adventure that takes you downtown and educates you on the historical sites and provides you with reviews of the best restaurants before splashing into Lake Austin. This is a great, unique way to see the city with a tour guide to explain it to you. I can't think of a better way to get to know the city.
I know I have a hard time choosing a restaurant to eat at considering Austin has so many. So I say, why choose one when you can sample 7-8 all in 3 hours? Austin Eats Food Tours makes that possible. Be prepared to eat this weekend! Austin Eats operates Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10-1. You can choose from four different locations in town including downtown and South Congress. Be prepared to indulge yourself in an array of Austin delicacies ranging from chef inspired dishes, to juicy burgers and delicious sweets.
If you aren't very familiar with this fabulous city, get out there and experience the weirdness by taking a tour!
Welcome to the hill country! Austin is a gorgeous city full of outdoor adventures just waiting to be explored. From the breath taking hillside to the mouth-dropping lakes, Austin is the place see and experience it all.
Looking to have a little fun in the sun? Zilker Park is just the ticket. Zilker park is home to the amazing Barton Springs Pool, which is great for a full day of swimming and tanning at the mere price of $3 per adult and $1 for senior citizens and children. The springs are 100 percent natural and span across a total of 3 acres, making it the 4th largest natural springs in the state. The pool is complete with a diving board and lifeguard to ensure you have the best time possible!
Town Lake is the perfect place for an outdoor work out; whether it be a quick jog, long walk with friends, or a hard core bike ride, Town Lake's 3 mile trail makes it ideal for them all. Along the trail are frequent water stations, so there is no need to worry about dehydration or providing your own water bottle. Town Lake is not only a good place to get in a satisfying outdoor workout, it is also great for lake activities such as kayaking, canoeing, and paddle surfing (all of which are relatively inexpensive). If that isn't enough, Town Lake is dog-friendly so it makes for a great place to bring your dog!
If you are an outdoor enthusiast and love a challenge, then leave it to the Greenbelt to be your challenger. This eroded riverbed makes for the ultimate outdoor experience. The Barton Creek Greenbelt is nearly 8 miles long and filled with sheer cliff walls, lush vegetation, and numerous swimming areas. So whether you are looking for an outdoor rock climbing adventure, a beautiful sight to see, or just a trail to take your dog on, the Greenbelt provides you with a fantastic range of options.
One would have to be crazy to stay indoors when they have all of these great outdoor activities to choose from! Get out there and get active while getting to know your city and all of the stunning nature it has to offer. Remember, Keep Austin Weird!
