Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Round Rock

"Austin's most popular green space, the 351-acre Zilker Park is a favorite recreation area that sits alongside Lady Bird Lake. The park's grassy expanses and picnic sites are ideal for lazy afternoons, but there are also many recreational facilities for the public to enjoy. Riverside walking trails, volleyball courts, and a disc golf course are all within park boundaries."

"With 350 acres to roam, you can play Frisbee on the Great Lawn, feed ducks along Barton Creek or visit the Austin Nature Center and its kid-friendly Dino Pit. Zilker is also home to the annual Austin City Limits Music Festival. Continue to 5 of 10 below."

"Austin is not only the home of the University of Texas, but the Texas State Capitol Building. The Capitol is an extraordinary example of late 19th century public architecture and is widely recognized as one of the nation's most distinguished state capitols. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986 for its "significant contribution to American history." The Capitol grounds span 22 acres and feature historical buildings, 17 monuments, and beautifully landscaped lawns in addition to the Capitol building itself."

"Built in 1888 from sunset-red granite, this state capitol is the largest in the US, backing up the ubiquitous claim that everything is bigger in Texas. If nothing else, take a peek at the lovely rotunda – be sure to look up at the dome – and try out the whispering gallery created by its curved ceiling."

"The Texas flag can fly higher than the American one, in recognition Texas was its own country before (as most Texans like to remind the rest of America) they allowed the United States to join them. Address: 1100 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701, United States"

"Next, check out Zilker Park, a 360-acre oasis in the heart of downtown that’s the site of festivals and free music at Zilker Hillside Theater, plus it’s home to Zilker Botanical Garden, Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum and Barton Springs Pool, a spring-fed swimming spot with grassy hills for sunbathing. Make it a boozy afternoon and pull up a chair in the taproom of urban winery Infinite Monkey Theorem for a flight of Texas-made wine. Or head to Duchman Family Winery in Driftwood (just a half-hour drive out of Austin), where you can take a tour and sample wines in a lovely Italianate villa, including Duchman’s award-winning Vermentino. Stop in the North Austin warehouse and taproom of Austin Beerworks, where weekend tastings feel more like a backyard barbecue, with live music and bites from local food trucks."

"Although swimming in Lady Bird lake is prohibited, nearby Barton Springs Pool in Zilker Park is Austin's favorite place to cool off. A spring-fed pool along Barton Creek, it covers an area of three acres and has an average temperature of 70 degrees year-round. Locals and tourists alike enjoy the grassy tree-lined perimeter and perfect water that reaches up to 18 feet deep."

"When it comes to beaches in Austin, it doesn’t get more convenient than Barton Springs Pool. Located in the city center itself, this spot has a long history. It was considered sacred by Native American tribes, who used the waters for purification rituals, then used by Spanish settlers as a temporary mission site."

"Photo by: Flickr user Robert Hensley, Creative Commons licensed. It goes without saying, but we’ll say it anyway: Stevie Ray Vaughan is a legend in the Live Music Capital of the World. The memorial statue erected of him at Auditorium Shores marks a great place to view the downtown cityscape and Lady Bird Lake."

"Stevie Ray Vaughan Statue is a well-visited tourist attraction. This bronze statue, sculpted by Ralph Helmick, is one of the most iconic sculptures of Austin."

"Magical Mayfield Park is one of the coolest places in Austin. The setting is unique to urban parks in Austin because Mayfield is home to a bunch of peacocks and peahens. There’s a historic cottage, gardens, ponds, and hiking trails at Mayfield Park."

"Right next door to Laguna Gloria, Mayfield Park is a small and magical park that’s ideal for picnicking. However, Mayfield’s biggest attraction is the flock of gorgeous peacocks that roam freely. Best of all, this unusual park has no admission fee."

"Spend some leisure time walking the tranquil grounds of Mayfield Park. Mayfield Park is a nature preserve and gardens that feature some unique flora and decorative structures. Going to this park is one of the fun things to do in Austin."

"Mansfield Dam Park has some great, uninterrupted views of Lake Travis. On a beautiful, sunny day this is a great place to walk and enjoy the view. The beach in this area is very rocky so it is not the type of place to lay out a beach towel, however, the peace and serenity of the lake is a great attraction that you should not miss!"

"At Mansfield Dam Park, the views both above and below water are worth writing home about. Situated in a secluded cove, the swimming area is quiet, clean, and refreshing. Meanwhile, a recreation area slightly further inland offers picnic sites, a playground, chess tables, and panoramic views of the Lake Travis basin."

"This colorful and very unique museum started as a one-story home in the early 1900s and later purchased by James Talbot where he started transforming it into what it has become today. This fantastic home/museum is open for private tours by the owner and is located at 305 W Milton Boldin Creek; you will be transported into different themed rooms and floors and textures and enjoy the many stories Mr. Talbot has related to how his home has transformed into the art is today and why. We strongly suggest you call ahead and book a tour and respect this space since this is a private residence."

"Craving a sandwich, but want something a little more artisanal than Subway?. Head to Snarf’s Sandwiches, a local deli that handcrafts ridiculously addicted sandwiches. On the menu, you’ll find classics like turkey and swiss cheese, meatball parmesan, and BLT sandwiches as well as specialty offerings featuring corned beef, prime rib, and artichoke and feta subs."
