💦 SPLATTER PAINT ROOM 🎨
📍 @ragingaxe
15635 Vision Dr #111, Pflugerville, TX
⏰ 45 minutes
🎟️ $35
👧 Ages 2+
👉This place is genius! Honestly if you are looking for a fun indoor place for kids of all ages (even teens!!), BRING THEM HERE!!! Here’s everything I loved about @ragingaxe :
😅The mess is there and not at my house!
👧 Kids can be kids and go crazy and be wild and no one will judge!
🙌 They provide you with everything you need (splatter coveralls, goggles, gloves, shower caps, wipes, towels, endless paint, etc)
🖼️ You can paint on canvas too and bring home a piece of art!
🔫They bring you squirt guns filled with paint to use too!
🥰There are so few opportunities for kids to have an experience like this, where they aren’t expected to behave a certain way or worry about following the rules. Here, there are no rules! They could just go crazy and have fun!
🥳They also have birthday parties and I think this would be so much fun (and so unique)!
🪓 Kids 13 & up can also try the axe throwing and rage rooms!
👧KIDS NIGHT COMING SOON!
📅 April 23
⏰ 4-8pm (come and go, session is one hour total)
🎟️ $38/kid
🎨 30 mins splatter paint room and 30 mins making slime. All materials provided, bring home your slime and canvas! Parents must stay and attend but don’t pay.

🪻THE BEST BLUEBONNETS 🪻

⏰ Open daily sunrise-sunset
🚗 About an hour drive from Austin

🪻There are plenty of signs when you enter the park, and you can ask anyone who works there, but we found lots of bluebonnets over by campsites 32-36.

🎈 PIKOPYE’S TOWN JUST GOT A NEW BACKYARD PLAY AREA! 😎
📍 1607 Ranch Rd 620 N #100, Lakeway
🦄 We adore the new outdoor place space for kids at @pikopyestown 😍
This new addition has a unicorn roller coaster, a play house, a seesaw, toys, and a seating area for the parents! 🙌 It’s the perfect time of year to enjoy being outside!
My son has loved @pikopyestown since he was 3 (we even had his bday party there when he turned 4)!
They also have the coolest events like Bluey & Bingo Meet & Greets, tea parties, and a fire truck party!
🚒 The fire truck party had the cutest decorations, pizza, pretzels, and a story time about a fire truck!
🪴 They are having a Garden Tea Party THIS SUNDAY from 4-6pm to celebrate the grand opening of their new backyard space! This must be booked online and is $50 for a kid/parent duo. Princess Belle will be there too!
💙 The next BLUEY PARTY will be April 18!
👀 They are also on the @pogopass_austin_sanantonio so make sure to use code: Austinfunforkids for over half off! 🤗 Pogo Pass holders may book select play times (these do not include special events).
