Barton Springs
Barton Springs is the perfect place to visit on a sunny summer day. The springs are found in Zilker Park. The Barton Springs pool is about three acres large and is fed from underground springs. The spring’s temperature is usually around 70 degrees, making it perfect for year-round swimming. The springs are also the home of the endangered Barton Springs Salamander.
Congress Avenue Bridge
The Congress Avenue Bridge is such a popular and unique attraction when the sun sets because of the bats. At dusk, Mexican free-tailed bats swarm from under the bridge and up into the sky to hunt for insects. It’s an awe-inspiring sight and something that you won’t easily see outside of Austin.
The Moody Theater
