Zilker Botanical Garden
Regardless of the season, the botanical gardens are always a delight to visit.
Barton Springs Pool
One of Austin's most popular sites. The pool is spring-fed and thus constantly 68-70 degrees year round. Depending on the weather, this might be refreshing or soothing. Keep your eyes peeled for the rare and endangered Barton Springs Salamander!
