Indulge in a romantic afternoon of pick-your-own strawberries and more on a date at Sweet Berry Farm in nearby Marble Falls. Worth the trip, the farm also sells homemade ice cream, jams, jellies, fresh tomatoes and other homemade and homegrown goodies.
Everything’s cooler on ice, so, cool off at Chaparral Ice, Austin's only indoor ice skating recreation venue with an NHL regulation-size rink available to the public. Visit during open skating sessions or schedule lessons. With fun and safety at their core, classes are provided and have fundamentals for recreational skating and a solid foundation for achieving success in figure skating, hockey, and other ice sports like curling and broomball. Whether it’s your first time on the ice, or you’re returning to a favorite pastime from childhood, or you wish to continue training for competitions, classes will guide you through the process with focus, fun, and safety.
If you want to Keep Austin Weird (the unofficial city motto), then get yourself to the annual Eeyore's Birthday Party every April at Pease Park, where the bizarre and unusual are, well, perfectly normal. Come to the festival in costume, or else you'll stand out like a sore thumb.
