THINGS TO DO

  1. Zilker Botanical Garden
    "Zilker Park Botanical Gardens is free and easily accessible from central Austin. When you walk in, it's like a whole new world. The only distraction is the distant whoosh of traffic and the occasional airplane. Huge trees, hundreds of different flowering plants, a rose garden, dinosaur garden, Japanese garden, and water garden are all inside this world. It is the perfect place to escape from hustle and bustle of life. (You can bring the kids, too. They will not be bored.)" - a Yahoo user
  2. Zilker Playground
    "Although I live here in austin and sometimes go to zilker Park,I enjoy observing wildlife.However,many times I have seen unsupervised children chase and harass flock of Rock Doves whil they were being fed by park guests.It is not worth spend over one dollar on seeds if parents cannot control their kids.The saying goes like this: One child"s overplayfulness can a man"s hobby." - a Tripadvisor user
