KUTX Rock The Park people enjoying music at the venue

Get ready for another season of free, family-friendly concerts at the Mueller Lake Park amphitheater! Curated by KUTX and the Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child Sunday evening kids’ show, these live performances bring great music for all ages. Arrive early to snag a spot on the lawn and enjoy an unforgettable night of entertainment!

KUTX Rock the Park Spring 2025 Season:

Friday, March 28th
– 6:45 P.M. – TBA
– 7:30 P.M. – TBA

Friday April 11th
– 6:45 P.M. – TBA
– 7:30 P.M. – TBA

Friday, May 2nd
– 6:45 P.M. – TBA
– 7:30 P.M. – TBA

ADMISSION: FREE!

🚍 Getting There: Skip the parking hassle and take the bus! CapMetro routes 20, 10, and 350 all stop in Mueller. If you’re driving, there’s hourly parking at the McBee Garage across from the Thinkery, plus metered spots around the park.

💡 What to Bring:
✔️ Everyone: Bring plenty of water and a thick blanket for lounging on the lawn (Mueller keeps things natural, so expect some sticker burrs!).
✔️ For the Kids: Protect little ears! The music is family-friendly, but concerts can get loud—bring hearing protection for young ones who love dancing near the stage. Forgot earplugs? Stop by the KUTX tent for a free pair, thanks to RK Audiology!

🍽️ Food & Drinks: Pack a picnic or grab a bite from food trucks and nearby restaurants. You can bring your own water and non-alcoholic drinks, but no glass containers or alcohol are allowed.

🐶 What’s Allowed: Coolers, picnic blankets, and stadium cushions (remember those “sit-upons” from camp?). Leashed dogs are welcome, too!

🚫 What’s Not Allowed: Chairs, glass containers, and alcohol.

♿ Accessibility: There’s a reserved bench at the amphitheater for those who need seating due to mobility concerns (including pregnancy). ASL interpreters will be on-site, and First Aid is available at the KUTX tent. Need other accommodations? Reach out!

🚸 Lost Kids: If your little one wanders off, head to the KUTX tent—the crew will stay with them until you’re reunited. We also recommend choosing a family meeting spot before the show starts!

♻️ Keep It Clean: Let’s be great guests! Trash and recycling bins are limited, so please help keep the park beautiful so we can keep rocking here in the future.

Austin Fun For Kids

🙋🏼‍♀️ A guide for exploring Austin with kids 🛝 parks, hikes, restaurants, day trips, etc!

🧸 @kawaiiklaws_tx Claw Machine Store 🧸

📍 11200 Lakeline Mall Dr, Cedar Park
Inside Lakeline Mall, right above the play area. Park at Dillards.

@kawaiiklaws_tx is a store filled with claw machines! My kids love claw machines and were very excited to try this out. We played for about 30 minutes and they each won 2 toys.

🧸The toys were actually really good quality. I feel like most claw machines give you garbage toys, but these are super nice! You can also save your little toys and trade them in for giant toys. The selection is great as well. They have machines that are fun for a wide range of ages and interests.

🧸Like any claw machines, these can be hard! We found some were more challenging than others. Spoiler alert: the more “baby” the machine, the easier it was. The Cookie Monster was the easiest to win. I keep thinking back to the Bluey episode Magic Claw, where the kids get bored when mom makes the game too easy, but love to play when dad makes it more of a challenge. Another pro tip: the claw will drop the toy at the top, so we built the toys up into a tower to make it easier. This requires a lot of money! Be prepared to spend around $20 per toy.

🧸My boys definitely got frustrated but that made winning all the more fun when they actually got one. Definitely check this place out if you like claw machines!

@zedsicecream

📍 1814 Harvey St, Austin

We’ve always loved Zed’s but now it’s even better! Two new food trucks and a fully fenced turfed play area for kids! Plus more shaded seating! 🙌

Honestly, I can’t think of anything better than tacos, burgers, ice cream, and a place for the kids to run around. 😋
