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

💦 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!

🎈 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).

🩷Keeping kids safe online is something every parent worries about. As a mom of a 15 year old who recently started using Instagram, this topic is extra important to me.

❤️Yesterday I attended the @instagram Screen Smart Event. I learned so much, got some great new insights and ideas, and made some new friends too!

🧡The panel of experts who spoke at the event were brilliant and delightful. I could just listen to them speak forever! Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart was amazing and inspiring.

👉How we have navigated social media with our teen at home so far:
My son really wanted to join Instagram when he turned 15. To be honest, I wanted him to wait until at least 16, but when we found out about the Teen Instagram settings with parental controls, I was more open to the idea. Many of my trusted mom friends had decided to allow their 15 year olds to have Instagram with these settings, so I felt more reassured with that knowledge as well.

The teen setting allows us to have control over who he’s friends with and how much time he’s on the app. It also blocks strangers from being able to message him and only shows him age-appropriate material. We can also see who he adds as a friend.

Like it or not, this is the way most teens communicate with each other these days. Instead of outright denying it, we got curious and asked him why he wanted Instagram (something Dr Lockhart also recommended!)

This situation will look different for every family. In the end, we decided we were going to trust the parental controls and allow him one hour per day on the app. He later told me he was actually grateful for this time limit, as he could see himself getting sucked in to “doom scrolling” without it in place. I was so proud that he came to that discovery on his own! 🥰

He’s a good kid who gets good grades and never gets in trouble. He’s got plenty of extracurricular interests and I think having a small dose of social media with safe boundaries in place is ok for him.
