Area Attractions and Activities
A trip to Austin, Texas, wouldn't be complete without a dusk viewing of the bats under the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge. Nightly from late March to early October, more than 1 million of the haunting creatures take flight to fill their bellies and rid Austin of tens of thousands of pounds of insects. Austin boasts one of the finest trail systems in the nation, with more than 50 miles of developed trails. Consider visiting Zilker Park, known as "Austin's most loved park." Enjoy the 351 acres by swimming in Barton Springs pool (a natural spring-fed pool with a year-round average temperature of 68 degrees), visiting the Zilker Botanical Garden, canoeing around Town Lake or visiting the Austin Nature and Science Center.
