Best Nature Play
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
The Wildflower Center isn’t just for botanists – it’s a perfectly curated outdoor wonderland. Watch kiddos build muscle constructing wooden wonders in the log area, or explore the cave and search for frogs by the pools. They can wander the butterfly maze, play house in giant bird nests, or dig to their heart’s content in the covered sand area. Got more of an indoor kid? They’ll love resting in Lynda’s Library, an ingenious gazebo stocked with wooden benches and nature books. Make sure to check out the statue scavenger hunt, grab some lemonade in the cafe, and say goodbye to Athena the owl on your way out.
