Summertime and the livin's easy!

Summertime is almost upon us and before you commit to taking that island vacation to get your fun in the sun take a look at some of what Austin has to offer. Activities range from scouting out Austins’ best swimming holes to taking up a new hobby exploring Austin’s disc golf courses or picking up your bike or rollerblades and riding the trails! If you’re looking for a more cultural approach to your summer recreational activities look no further than a stroll through the Zilker Botanical Gardens for free or a tour of the ever-elegant AMOA – Laguna Gloria with tours offered every Saturday for under $5! We’ll see you out and about at some of our favorite spots this summer. For a complete list of summer happenings check out: http://www.texasoutside.com/austinguide.htm
