1. Shakespeare in the Park. Zilker park in the evening is just so nice and to have a huge production occupy your kids while you can enjoy the greatness of Austin makes it even more nice. It’s FREE and the kids get to learn Shakespeare. Can’t beat that deal!

3. Enjoy the lakes.

Rent a boat. You can even rent a boat with a driver! Pontoon boats are also great, too. They are perfect boats for families and friends. They are easy to drive, not too expensive and great for large groups. Here are some rental places with great prices – Lakeway Marina and Just For Fun.

Aqua Fly is a sight to see and do, too. It’s more for older kids but well worth the cost! Fly in the water like Iron Man.
