100+ Things to do in Austin, Texas

March 7, 2016 by Rebecca Darling

There are so many Things to do in Austin, Texas that it makes an ideal place for family travel – especially in Texas.  Situated in Central Texas, Austin is 4 hours south of Dallas/Fort Worth, 3 hours west of Houston and a short 1 hour drive north from San Antonio.  It’s very close to the Hill Country, which offers plenty of outdoor fun as well.  And the weather is fantastic – especially in the Spring or the Fall.
