Things To Do

Places to Go

Zilker Metropolitan Park

Emily and Jonah love to bring their pups down to Zilker Park for fetch and a picnic. Grab some breakfast tacos and a coffee for a picnic at Zilker Park. Enjoy the beautiful green space with a great view of downtown. On April 5th, Zilker is hosting the Austin Kite Festival so you should see lots of kites being flown at the park or grab one and join the party!

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

This is one of the first places Emily and Jonah visited when they were moving to Austin! A beautiful garden to see native Texas wildflowers.

Lady Bird Lake Trail

South Congress

Take a stroll down South Congress! Stop in the shops, grab a coffee at Two Hands, or an ice cream at Amy's! Get into the Texas spirit with a cowboy hat or a pair of boots.

Congress Avenue Bat Bridge

Starting in late March and continuing through early fall, North America's largest urban bat population calls Austin home. The bats begin to wake up and start their night flight around sunset. The best time to witness the bats is around sunset, but the nightly show can take place anywhere from 7:30 to 9:45 p.m. It can take as long as 45 minutes for all of the bats to exit the bridge for the night.

Places to Eat & Drink

Terry Black's Barbecue

Veracruz All Natural

This is one of our favorite breakfast taco spots. On the weekends they usually have a market and you can grab an amazing Brown Sugar Miso Latte from Desnudo Coffee next door.

Cork & Screw

One of our favorite wine stores and wine gardens in Austin! Grab a bottle of wine from Cork and Screw and enjoy it in their amazing wine garden. They have a food truck if you get hungry!

Mozart's Coffee Roasters

Grab a coffee and start your morning with a beautiful view over Lady Bird Lake. Emily and Jonah have enjoyed date nights watching movies from the water at Mozarts.

For those guests with kids, we recommend the Thinkery for a chance to bring the kids to our neighborhood children's museum.
