Bob Bullock Museum of Texas State History
Thinkery
I suggest arriving right when they open at 10 AM. It gets super busy, especially on weekends, and you can have the exhibits to yourself for a bit. Trust me, it makes a big difference.
My advice is to dive into the hands-on activities early. Some of them can get crowded, so hopping on them first helps you enjoy the experience without having to wait ages.
Texas State Capitol
Don't skip the south steps! The views are amazing, especially at sunset... Grab a picnic or just relax; it’s a perfect end to the day
Congress Avenue Bridge
I recommend checking out the bat emergence from the bridge; it's an incredible sight, but get there at least 30 minutes early for a good spot!
Pennybacker Bridge
I suggest parking at the nearby Austin Country Club instead of the busy trail area. It’s a short walk but saves you the stress of finding a spot. Just be respectful and don’t block any driveways!
Blanton Museum of Art
Greetings From Austin Mural
My advice is to check out nearby cafes for an awesome breakfast before or after your visit. It makes for a perfect morning hangout and saves you time looking for food later!
LBJ Presidential Library
Check for any special exhibits or events happening during your visit. I stumbled upon a really cool talk not listed in the usual guides, and it totally enhanced my experience
LBJ Museum and Library
I suggest getting there right when it opens at 9 AM to beat the crowds. You can really take your time exploring the exhibits without feeling rushed.
Museum of the Weird
I suggest checking out the weird wax figures; they’re super fun for selfies. Just remember to take a peek at the gift shop too – it has quirky souvenirs that are totally worth it.
My advice is to get there right when they open at 10 AM if you can. It gets crowded fast, and you’ll want to take your time browsing without the crush of people.
