Fun Austin Experience Gifts For Kids
Annual passes/ Memberships
- Sweet Eats Fruit Farm has an annual pass for $54-108/person, which pays for itself if you go at least 3 times. We love this farm- there’s so much to do! In addition, the pass also includes all their festivals and corn maze.
- Thinkery has a family membership for 4 people for $195. There are other levels depending on how many people you need to include.
- A Texas State Park Pass would be fun for the outdoorsy kid. Fourth graders and their families get in for free, but if you don’t have a fourth grader, this would be a fun way to encourage the whole family to get outside more.
- My kids love to climb and would get so much use out of a membership to a climbing gym like Austin Bouldering Project, Mesa Rim, or Crux Climbing Center.
