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.

Explore the Mexic-Arte Museum, which enriches the community through education programs, exhibitions, and the collection, preservation, and interpretation of Mexican, Latino, and Latin American art and culture for visitors of all ages. Tour the works of traditional and contemporary arts that present multimedia works by established and emerging artists. The Mexic-Arte Museum also boasts an eclectic museum store, where visitors can take home a piece of Mexican art, wood-carved Oaxacan animals and Michoacan pottery, Day of the Dead pieces, hand-blown glass jewelry, and children's items.

Get ready for Austin’s only concert-on-wheels at Twisted Texas Tours, where each experience is jam-packed with local flavor, hidden hotspots, and Instagram-worthy photo opportunities.

Take a step back in time and walk the grounds of the oldest modern-day urban farm, Boggy Creek Farm, where you can purchase fresh produce, attend a chef's dinner or enjoy any special events for foodies who dig the back-to-the-farm movement. The Market offers a variety of vegetables, meats, dairy, and bread, all year-round, grown in fields that are steps away for the freshest farm-to-table experience.
