Hight rate 21 location for tourist in Austin, TX (part 3)
06-2025 Zilker Botanical Garden in Hight rate 21 location for tourist in Austin, TX (part 3)Cathedral of Junk - Austin Megan Morris: This was a fun excursion! There was so much more detail to look at than expected! The gentleman whose house it is was super inviting and welcoming. We called ahead of time, but there were others that just showed up. Just know that this is his personal yard so be mindful that he might not always be available. Call first. Its located in a normal looking neighborhood. Its all street parking. His neighbors seem to understand thr draw and seem to politely ignore you parking in front of their house, so be mindful and respectful of that too lol The gentleman also has 2 adorable pups that he sometimes lets out to roam with the visitors. The bigger one was loveably friendly and excitedly sought out each person for pets. The sculptures themselves were fun to explore! There were sometimes seemingly themes amongst the chaos. We tried to play "eye spy" but there were so many nooks and crannies that it would have taken forever!
Mayfield Park and Nature Preserve - Austin Lindsay Garcia: This was definitely worth visiting. We had a great time. Its so beautiful and peaceful. I loved seeing the peacocks so close. They were just chilling in the shade. We saw about 6 peacocks and several cute lizards. There were also snapping turtles in the lily ponds that poked their little heads out of the water. We will come back when we visit Austin again.
Bullock Texas State History Museum - Austin Captain Oh Captain: I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Bullock Texas State History Museum for the first timeāand wow, what an experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by two incredibly kind and welcoming gentlemen, Don and Joseph. They took the time to explain what was inside the museum, answered all my questions, and made me feel right at home even before I bought my ticket.
Once inside, I was completely captivated. The museum takes you on a powerful journey through the rich and complex history of Texasāstarting with Indigenous cultures and Mexican independence from Spain, all the way to the modern era. Every exhibit was thoughtfully curated and packed with fascinating artifacts.
I left feeling inspired, informed, and eager to return. If you havenāt been yet, itās a must-seeātruly a Texas treasure!
Blanton Museum of Art - Austin Kuda Tshililiwa: This art museum is incredible. The art pieces are beautiful, clean, and a fresh of breath air. They artists do an amazing job working your brain in understanding the more abstract pieces. The time pieces are done with such attention to detail and meticulousness, they are all very impressive. The ceramic work is also very beautiful. Without a doubt, youll walk out of here mind blown. The creativity, the attention to detail, and the overall sophistication of the art pieces is on another level.

A grand and iconic building in the heart of Austin!
The Texas Capitol is a stunning piece of architectureāmade from granite and marble, with a beautiful rotunda and dome that make it feel both historic and majestic.

Located at 1100 Congress Ave, Austin, TX, the Capitol is part of the Texas Confederate Memorial Lawn, which adds a historical layer to your visit. Itās currently closed but opens daily at 7 AMāplan to come early to beat the crowds. Definitely a must-see for anyone visiting Austin or interested in Texas history.
The Original and Locally Owned Austin Ghost Tours and Investigations - Austin Makayla Timms: This is the tour to choose, folks! The google search results can be a bit confusing, but this is the original Austin Ghost Tour that is well worth it!
Went on this tour back in November with my family! Robin was our guide and they were a blast of a tour guide! Great about answering questions, and had a lot of knowledge, stories, and fun encounters to share with us! We got a whole new perspective on downtown Austin and an appreciation for the history that makes up the area. I recently moved to the area and this gave me a desire to explore more, Im sure well go on one of the ghost tours again!
This tour incorporates real history and true stories that the company works to verify. They also do investigations themselves! We got a lot of great information, fun facts, and some wonderful memories!
Zilker Metropolitan Park - Ja De: This park is prefect for everything like picnic, gatherings, running or walking with or without pets, cycling and party. It have city view as well, River was beautiful had those blue cleared water which you can see through water creatures. Parking lots of parking space and bathrooms are accessible.
Haunted ATX Austin Ghost Tours - Austin Luci Piraro: Iāve been on tons of tours (ghost and otherwise) and Loretta is by far the best guide Iāve experienced. She puts great care into her storytelling and has clearly done a lot of research to make this a haunted history tour and not just an evening of ghost stories. What we witnessed in the basement of the Clay Pit (personally my first ever paranormal experience) can only have happened due to the respect Loretta shows to the lives of the spirits she introduces you to. I was so excited to ride around in a hearse with my friends for a few hours but had no idea that that would just be the icing on the cake. I canāt recommend this tour enough.
Mexic-Arte Museum - Austin Zac Goldstein: Occupying a single floor, Mexic is small: a mere handful of rooms. Given that size, the $8 admission seems like a reach. Look past that, however, and Mexic offers unique art ranging from murals to photos to an elaborate room-sized nativity display. The gift shop is well worth a look as well.
As museums go, Mexic-Arteās size and scope are underwhelming. However, this place serves an important mission and gives you a chance to see art you probably wonāt find elsewhere.
Austin River-Skyline View - Austin An S: Ran pass through this area whenever we were exploring around Zilker Park. Its so pretty. There were alot of people on the lake too, kayaking and paddleboarding.
