Austin Fun For Kids

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

🍔 @oasthouseatx is a South Austin favorite! @oasthouseatx offers a locally sourced menu featuring elevated food in a casual atmosphere that’s perfect for families and friends. With a playground on site, it’s also the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal while the kids have fun!

🆕 WEEKDAY BURGER BAR: affordable and delicious $9 burger deals for lunch! There’s a variety of burger options from classic burgers to southwest pimento burgers, smash burgers, black bean veggie burgers, and even chicken or fish burgers! Every burger we tried was incredibly delicious and huge! Such a good deal.

🍟 I also highly recommend the truffle fries 🤤

🛝 My kids love the playground here and I love how it’s fenced in and right off the patio, making it easy to keep an eye on the kids while you enjoy your food & drinks.

👀 Check them out for their weekday lunch burger bar specials or Happy Hour deals Mon-Sat 3-6pm or Sunday Funday 3-close.

📍 5701 W Slaughter Ln, Austin

‼️ BEST Mobile Detailer in Austin, Tx 🚗

@senecadetailing

For years I’ve been looking for someone to deep clean my disgusting car. My 3 boys (and all their friends I drive around) make having a clean car impossible. 😅

🤩Luckily I found @senecadetailing here in Austin and they did a great job cleaning up my Mom car!

❄️ SNOW DAY IS THIS SATURDAY ❄️

☃️ Frosty Fun Fest at @sciencemilltx is this Saturday, January 18 from 10am-2pm!

Science Mill is a kids’ science museum in Johnson City filled with indoor and outdoor hands-on and interactive exhibits. We have brought our kids here many times over the years at varying ages and they always have a good time, however I feel like kids ages 5+ will get the most out of the museum. Kids of all ages like snow though! 😉

📅 Saturday, Jan 18
⏰ 10am-2pm
🎟️ $10-12
📍 101 South Lady Bird Lane, Johnson City
🚗 Street parking in front and parking lot west of the museum
👧 Crowds! Lots of people! This is a very popular, very packed event! You have been warned!
❄️ Snow pit with 28 tons of real snow
🛷 Mini sled derby
❄️ Snowball slingshot
🔎 Science demonstrations, engineering challenges
