Attraction
If it's Texas hospitality you're looking for, you'll find it nowhere more than in the capital of Texas, Austin. Music makes up the basis for many of the area attractions, but there's plenty more to choose from.
Congress Avenue Bridge
Bats may not usually make your top ten list of "things to see," but the Congress Avenue Bridge is home to the largest urban colony of bats. The rodents are Mexican Free-tail Bats and it's said that visitors can see up to 1.5 million at a given time.
Austin Zoo
The zoo is touted as a family-friendly place to visit. You can see the animals, hold a birthday party or have a picnic.
Austin City Limits
Most country music fans have heard of Austin City Limits. The show is taped live at the University of Texas at Austin campus and you're invited to view the show live.
Capitol Building Tours
Austin serves as the capital of Texas and tours of the capitol building are a popular stop on the itinerary of many who live or visit the city. While you're here, you can visit the Lyndon B. Johnson Library.
Kiddie Acres
If you've got a group of smaller children, this is a sure-fire way to keep the entire family happy. The adults can rest while the kids enjoy rides, fun and even mini-golf.
Lonestar Riverboat
Take a ride back in time on a real paddlewheel riverboat. You have the option to take a sightseeing tour, watch a sunset on the evening ride, or book a private party.
