☃️ Frosty Fun Fest at @sciencemilltx is this Saturday, January 18 from 10am-2pm!
Science Mill is a kids’ science museum in Johnson City filled with indoor and outdoor hands-on and interactive exhibits. We have brought our kids here many times over the years at varying ages and they always have a good time, however I feel like kids ages 5+ will get the most out of the museum. Kids of all ages like snow though! 😉
❄️ What to expect at Snow Day: 📅 Saturday, Jan 18 ⏰ 10am-2pm 🎟️ $10-12 📍 101 South Lady Bird Lane, Johnson City 🚗 Street parking in front and parking lot west of the museum 👧 Crowds! Lots of people! This is a very popular, very packed event! You have been warned! ❄️ Snow pit with 28 tons of real snow 🛷 Mini sled derby ❄️ Snowball slingshot 🔎 Science demonstrations, engineering challenges 🍧 Kona Ice, tacos, coffee, sandwiches, hot dogs, lobster rolls
1000 Hours Outside is a popular New Years goal for many families. Have you heard of it? This park in Leander is a great one to start with because it has a ton to do! Walking/bike path, sculpture garden, playground, splash pad (open in summer), kayaking, skateboarding, and more.
I love combining our outings like this! Hiking and eating are 2 of my favorites.
📍 Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park, 12138 N Lamar Blvd, Austin 🥾 We did the short loop trail. We started at the playground and the trail was 1.25 miles long. It took us about an hour. 🛝 We also stayed and played at the playground both before and after the hike.
🇬🇷 @santorinicafe.atx is one of our favorite Greek restaurants! It’s 2 minutes from Walnut Creek and they have a cute dog/kid friendly patio with toys for the kids (mostly broken but my kids didn’t care). We love their authentic Greek food! 📍 11800 N Lamar Blvd, Austin
