06-2025 Octopus House in Hight rate 19 location for tourist in Austin, TX, USATexas African American History Memorial - Austin The K Green Show: Bravo Texas for this wonderful monument depicting and giving so much great African American history both in a global sense but how Blacks have contributed to the rich history in Texas. The sculpture work is amazing and tells a great story. B R A V O.
Austin Sign - Austin Flatt Brooklyn (FlattFamily): Took me a second to find but if you want to find it look for la patisserie and gwt the macaroons omg its next door and its sooo cute
Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge Observation Deck - Austin Emily Goodin: Considering the current south shore plant/tree overgrowth (April 2024) I think THIS is the best place to stand when waiting for the bats to come out from under the bridge. Yes the bats begin to emerge on the south side first, but you dont need to see the *first* bats to see an impressive display. As it turns out, we didnt see a large group of bats this evening (it rained and was generally too cool), but we did see (and hear) some bats, and the trip to the bridge was worthwhile. We waited from 30 minutes before until about 50 minutes after sunset, then left. Austin has a lovely skyline! We walked here from our hotel near the convention center, along the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail. It was a very pleasant walk with lots of tree cover.
Before I Die Wall Austin TX - Austin Dmitriy Mykalo: The “Before I Die Wall” is an incredible concept that encourages self-reflection and connection. It’s a space where people can pause, think about their dreams, and write down what truly matters to them. The mix of humorous and heartfelt messages creates a unique window into the minds of strangers, offering a sense of shared humanity. Reading these notes inspires you to reflect on your own goals while reminding you of the diversity and beauty of people’s aspirations. It’s a simple yet powerful way to bring communities together and spark meaningful conversations.
Texas Governors Mansion - Austin Jeff Helton: Came for a "governors tailgate party" before a UT game. Security is very thorough. Although the party was outside, we were able to tour most of the mansion. Its very well preserved (although there was a big fire abt 20 yrs ago). It was unfortunately too hot to stay long, but maybe Ill get invited back someday.
Museum of Natural & Artificial Ephemerata - Austin Travis Jordan: Absolutely phenomenal. Scott and Jen present a phantasmagorical tale of history and unhistory over an hour, describing dozens of artifacts they’ve collected over the years. A must see for fans of history and the Weird alike.
Walking Tours of Austin - Austin Jennie Read: Tyler was great, had a lovely morning walk learning all about Austin. Our group was only 6 so nice size for the day. We went to Jo’s for breakfast before meeting which would be recommended also.
Brush Square (O. Henry Museum) - Austin Miles E: The Brush Square Museums are one of the hidden treasures of the Austin downtown area. Very affordable day activity. Park at the convention Center parking garage for $10 and enjoy the museums for free. Theres a small gift area in the OHenry house, and a playable horizontal baby grand. Check out the art from the streets exhibit, a penny pressing machine, and find a specialized reading room in the Susanna Dickinson house.
Peter Pan Mini-Golf - Austin Amber Lee: While the surrounding area might not feel too much like Neverland, Peter Pain Mini Golf does have a fun, magical quality to it. The course is an Austin classic for a reason. With two different 18 hole course and a BYOB policy, this putt putt outing sets itself up well for a good time. Getting your clubs and balls are easy and the prices aren’t too bad. Solid start.
What is too bad though is the traffic backup on the course. The party sizes allowed here are huge (we saw a party of 8). You could say we’re partially to blame for coming on a Friday night, but man did it take long to get through portions of the course. The course itself is cute with little attractions and sculptures on every hole. Some of the holes were quite challenging which added a layer of fun to it and there being a whole second course adds a lot to the replay value. The whole experience was enjoyable but we would HIGHLY recommend coming at a time where there are less people. Either way you will have fun and it’s a great way to begin a night out in the downtown area.
Austin Texas Mural - Austin Pearl Brown: It was a nice stop but it’s surroundings screamed ghetto! It was literally a THC shop… would not recommend for kids and families.
Because we stopped I still took pictures with the kids to keep them distracted. But I would not take them back.
