Hands On! Regional Museum
This place is like a combination children's museum and science museum. Plenty of ways for kids to play, learn and none of those stuffy "no touching" rules here. Everything is covered - geology, space, engineering, health, animals, ecology - everything! It is intended to entertain and educate the little ones, but the grown-ups can ha... More >
This place is like a combination children's museum and science museum. Plenty of ways for kids to play, learn and none of those stuffy "no touching" rules here. Everything is covered - geology, space, engineering, health, animals, ecology - everything! It is intended to entertain and educate the little ones, but the grown-ups can have as much fun with them. Plus it wears the kids out - which is always a good thing. Admission cost is reasonable and well worth the time spent.

Lake access, batting cages, frisbee golf, arboretum, hiking trails, playground and handicap accessible lake boardwalk and paved forest paths.

I am personally drawn to the sand volleyball courts as well as the picture perfect gazebo. A whole day's worth of free entertainment options like this to please everyone can't be beat.

Carnegie Hotel
Adults will enjoy spoiling themselves at the Carnegie Hotel - sleigh bed d cor with free Wi-fi - the best of both worlds! This facility knows how to pamper and I appreciate the extra effort. If you can't afford to stay here, make a point to treat yourself to one of the services at the Austin Springs Spa in the hotel - parents deserve a rewarding massage after a long day chasing after the kids. More

Firehouse Restaurant & Catering
This looks like a really cool restaurant. I haven't been there yet but I am drawn to the smell of yummy BBQ and the fact that it resides in a former fire house which the owners have taken care to blend with their functional needs and honor the noble fire fighting profession with memorabilia. This sets the stage for a lively environme... More >
This looks like a really cool restaurant. I haven't been there yet but I am drawn to the smell of yummy BBQ and the fact that it resides in a former fire house which the owners have taken care to blend with their functional needs and honor the noble fire fighting profession with memorabilia. This sets the stage for a lively environment to please all attention spans. I also like what I have heard about their community involvement, which must have something to do with their stable history here for 30 years.
