Barton Springs Pool
Barton Springs Pool is a recreational outdoor swimming pool that is filled entirely with water from natural springs. It's beautiful, but the water is freezing! It is located on the grounds of Zilker Park.
YETI Austin Flagship
Located just south of Lady Bird Lake and the Congress Bridge, YETI Flagship is housed in a fully restored, early 20th century building that’s seen its fair share of Austin history, including surviving the 1935 Austin flood that took out quite a bit of downtown. At YETI Flagship, you can check out YETI products in their element, and shop exclusive in-store customization options.
South Congress Bridge Bats
From March through September of each year, tourists visit bats in Austin. Nearly one and a half million bats in Austin call the South Congress Bridge home during this time period. Each evening, people have lookout spots below and above the South Congress Bridge. It’s one of the best places to view the South Congress Bridge Bats, also known as Brazilian or Mexican free-tailed bats. They emerge and shoot out for their nightly food. It's very cool to check out.
