🎄ELF SCAVENGER HUNT TICKETS ON SALE NOW ☃️

Go on an Elf Scavenger Hunt at Santa’s Jingle House in Round Rock!

📍 8 Chisholm Trail Rd, Round Rock

🎟️ $14 for a one hour hunt, cocoa, cookies, & a raffle

We do this every year and honestly it’s fun for all ages from toddlers to adults! The 3 difficulty levels is what makes it great. Toddlers can look for the pin (easy) elves. Kids can look for the red ones. The green ones are the most challenging (even hard for adults!) we always have a great time doing this.

⚾️ Play wiffleball on the big turfed field at @camp_briteside 💚

📍 8701 Ranch Rd 2338, Georgetown

🏕️ This place is ADORABLE!!! There’s a whole summer camp theme that will put a smile on your face.
⚾️ Wiffleballs and bats available to borrow so you can play on their giant turfed field!
🏓 Ping pong table (balls and paddles available to borrow)
🥗 The food is delicious!
🍽️ They have a huge covered patio and the whole outside area is completely fenced so the kids can run around on all that turf and not escape! 😅

🎉 GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION at @stelmobrewing Springdale
📍 8110 Springdale Rd, Austin

We love this new brewery. There’s a fort from last year’s Fortlandia for them to climb and play on, plus some toys like trucks. There will even be face painting at the party!

✨ TRAIL OF LIGHTS ✨ TICKETS ON SALE NOW!

☃️ @atxlights
📍 Zilker Park, 2100 Barton Springs Rd, Austin
📅 Dec 10-23
⏰ 7-10pm (ZIP and Platinum Pass holders get early entry at 6pm)
🎟️ Admission is FREE (no tickets required) on December 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, & 18
🎫 GA tickets are $8 (kids 11 and under get in free with paid adult ticket)
🎟️ ZIP Passes are $25 and you get 6pm early entry plus access to the ZIP Lounge (free hot cocoa, cookies, etc). Kids 5 and under get in free with a paid adult ZIP Pass.
🎫 Platinum Passes are $95 (or cheaper the more you buy) and you get early entry at 6pm plus valet parking, golf cart shuttle from parking lot, heated Platinum Lounge, one drink ticket, one ride ticket. Kids 5 & under get in free with paid Platinum Pass.

🎡The rides will cost extra (not sure how much this year). We love the Ferris wheel!

🤔 Are the passes worth it? We have done all the options (free, GA, ZIP, and Platinum). It depends! I don’t really think Platinum was worth it for us, but the valet parking and golf cart ride might be worth it for you! If you really hate crowds I would recommend the ZIP Passes.
🚗 Parking is a nightmare! This is by far the worst part which might make the valet parking with the platinum pass very appealing. There are $8 shuttle services, but everybody says they aren’t very good. You can also prepay for a parking pass over by the Zilker Tree (polo fields) for $25. If you get there early enough, you will find a spot otherwise good luck! 😅 all parking passes must be purchased in advanced online. Lots open at 5:30.
