Twisted Texas Tour

The Buzz Mill is much more than an homage to the logging trade with a facade that depicts it from the outside as an old general store. Open 24-hours, the cozy space doesn’t only sell coffee, but infused drinks, beer, and barbecue.

Get ready for the musical event of the year, the Austin City Limits Music Festival, where they feature a diverse lineup of acts every year with 9 stages, 100+ performances, and best of all, two weekends. Enjoy new artists like The National share the stage with heavyweights like Dave Matthews Band and Norah Jones. There’s plenty to do in between sets, including a mini-fest for kids, photogenic spaces, sponsored giveaways, and merch to bring home with you.

One spark of inspiration is all you need for your next big idea at the Thinkery, where each exhibit is hands-on, play-based learning, with activities and content appropriate for visitors of all ages. Create colorful works of art, take apart toys or build and launch gliders at the Spark Shop. See, feel and hear the connections between water and sound at the Currents exhibit. Find out how color, light, and shadows impact the environment at the Light Lab. Participate in sensory exploration, chemical reactions, and edible minerals in the Kitchen Lab. Imagine buying and selling delicious fruits and vegetables or collecting eggs from a pretend chicken coop in Fresh! Farmers’ Market. Step outside to the Backyard and scale the heights of a universally-accessible, custom-designed climber, or rest under the branches of a native elm tree.
