There’s no way you can have a boring summer in Austin since there’s just way too much to do! There’s an adventure waiting for you on every corner, from the live music on every street to renting a pontoon boat on Lake Austin and taking it to one of the city’s many lakeside restaurants.
Ready for a fun Austin summer but don’t know where to start? This bucket list is full of the ultimate Austin activities to have the coolest summer ever!
Check Out Austin’s Food Scene
The culinary scene in Austin is second to none. Grab a taco and cool down with a margarita at the trendiest Tex-Mex restaurants in town. Listen to live music while sipping Vietnamese iced coffee at Mozart’s Coffee Roasters while the sun sets over Lake Austin. Or, you can take a boat ride down Lake Austin and stop at one of the many great eateries on the way.
Visit the Museum of the Weird
The Museum of the Weird in Austin is a must-see for anyone with a taste for the uncanny, bizarre or supernatural. For a modest fee, you can view their astounding collection of rarities, including the mythical Yeti’s suspected remains.
Go Bat-Watching!
Don’t worry; we’re not telling you to summon Batman. But you might come close to seeing more than a million Mexican free-tailed bats leave their roosts under the Congress Avenue Bridge and fly out into the night. You can witness them when the sun sets during the summer from the Statesman’s bridge or the center’s observation deck.
Enjoy Live Music
You can’t possibly visit the “Live Music Capital of the World” and not indulge in a show or two. At any given time of the week, Austin hosts dozens of venues where you can catch rock, punk, country and jazz performers on the East side. We recommend checking out Red River Cultural District, South District and Rainey Street.
