Top Summer Activities in Austin, TX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the time of this writing, back-to-school sales and similar propaganda are attempting to ram home the notion that summer is coming to an end soon. Come on, guys: there\u2019s still a month left!\u00a0 A full third of the season remains, so don\u2019t throw in the towel (and swimsuit) just yet; there\u2019s plenty more summer to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what better way to enjoy it than by trying out some of the many activities found around Austin? Studies have shown that humans perceive time to move more slowly if they experience it in a variety of ways rather than settling into a repetitive routine. So pack some variety into the remainder of your summer with the help of our following suggestions, and make it last longer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Experience Lady Bird Lake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At Lady Bird Lake, there are a lot of options- denizens can be seen kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, and more. If you don\u2019t own any of these water transport objects, don\u2019t fret- they can be rented at several places around the lake, including the Rowing Dock, Congress Avenue Kayak, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"People<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bat Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every evening, more than a million Mexican free-tailed bats can be seen flying up into the evening sky from beneath Congress Avenue Bridge. This, as you can imagine, is quite a sight to see. You can choose to watch from the bridge itself, or any other public area (it\u2019s a free country), but for optimal viewing, we recommend the special bat-observation center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a Hike<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a dangerous business going out your door; if you don\u2019t keep your feet, there\u2019s no telling where you might be swept off to.\u201d These wise words from Bilbo Baggins are good to heed. But follow our advice and hike along Barton Creek Greenbelt, and you won\u2019t end up at Mount Doom (hopefully), but instead at Gus Fruh, a lovely swimming hole that features other notable natural attractions like the Urban Assault limestone rock wall, along with the hidden Twin Falls and Sculpture Falls areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swimming!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The hot Austin summer often puts one priority in our heads, especially when we\u2019re outside the blissful comfort of AC: Cool Off!<\/a> One great way to do this is to check out Barton Springs Pool, a spring-fed swimming hole in the heart of the city. The water is always refreshing, and there are plenty of grassy areas to chill out on when you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

Zilker Park<\/h3>\n

And then there\u2019s Zilker Park, wherein we recommend checking out the Zilker Botanical Garden followed by the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden and Museum beyond.<\/p>\n

Tunes<\/h3>\n

Austin always has a lot of great music going down, but one special summer event is Blues on the Green, an ongoing concert series that takes place once per month.<\/p>\n
