The Garden is a sanctuary, a place to be in touch with the seasons and refresh our spirits. That is why the City of Austin in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Department offers “free days” to Zilker Botanical Garden, thus waiving visitor fees.

If there are multiple people in your party, ensure they have their tickets prior to arrival. Be sure your entire party checks in together during the time frame purchased.

🌳 HIKE + FOOD PAIRING 🇬🇷
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
