Austin Fun For Kids

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

🦕 DINOSAUR TRACKS IN LEANDER!!

🚗 We parked at Green Valley Dr & US Hwy 183 on the shoulder of the road behind a couple of other cars. You can access it by going south on the 183 service road just past where the San Gabriel River crosses under the 183. If you travel north on 183, turn left on Green Valley Dr.

⚠️ Please note that this is not an actual parking area! There are signs on one side of the road saying No Parking (do not park there!). We ended up getting a spot along the shoulder on the other side of the road behind 2 other cars, and there weren’t specific No Parking signs on that side. Park at your own risk!!! Also please leave a comment if you find a better parking situation than this so it helps others.

👉 Head left down the path towards the riverbed down the big hill.

👉 Go left (west) down the trail. If you want to stay completely dry, there’s a path up on the left.

👉 Go back down into the riverbed once it’s not too deep. Keep going past the big boulders. If you can still see the 183 bridges, you haven’t gone far enough.

👉 The tracks will appear in the riverbed just past when the path curves to the right.

👉TIPS:
☀️ There won’t be much shade along the trail. Bring lots of water, sunscreen, and hats.
🥾 Wear water hiking shoes like Keens if you want to walk in the riverbed. You definitely can avoid getting wet entirely if you want. There’s a path on the left side.
🚽 No bathrooms so plan accordingly!
🚗 The parking area is small, go on an off time to guarantee parking.
👶 No strollers on this one 🙅🏼‍♀️

✨ LAST CHANCE ✨

See these 2 Austin lights displays before it’s too late!

🌟Luminations at @wildflowercenter
📍 4801 La Crosse Ave, Austin
📅 Ends Jan 5 (closed on Jan 1)
⏰ Entry from 5:45-7:45pm (closes at 9am)
🎟️ $18-28
🚗 Onsite parking is $25. You can also take your chance with free street parking or take the free shuttle from St. Augustine’s University.
⛺️ New this year: explore Fortlandia while you’re at Luminations! This essentially makes your ticket a “two-for-one”! 🙌 My boys loved climbing the forts at night.
🦽Jogging strollers are ok! Gravel path.

🧙See @diagonalleyatx for the last time ever!
📍 Circle C Neighborhood (cross streets are Slaughter Lane and Bungalow)
🏠 This is a house in the neighborhood that does an extravagant lights display in the theme of the Yule Ball at Hogwarts. Every Harry Potter fan should see this before they close!
📅 Last night is Jan 1!
⏰ Display is lit from 5:30-9
🎟️ Free to see but please consider donating!
🚗 You can drive past the house if you don’t want to get out and walk up. We parked down the street and walked up to get a better view and avoid the heavy traffic.

🍜 Make-Your-Own-Ramen Cafe

📍 @kramyuncafe
1821 S Lakeline Blvd STE 102, Cedar Park, TX

🍜Do your kids love ramen as much as mine do? This charming little store/cafe has a wall of ramen packets you can try! You grab the noodles you want and some toppings and make it all yourself.

🔥 Pro tip if you have a kid who is sensitive to spice, even the mild flavor ramen could be too spicy. Only add half of the flavor packet to make it less spicy!

📸 Don’t forget to take cute pictures at the Photo Booth in the back and hang a copy on the wall! ✌️
