Austin Wanderlust

All-deep 50 meter pool with a removable bulkhead to make two 25’s. The bulkhead gets hoisted into the ceiling, it’s awesome! Low and high boards and platforms into a seperate diving well, plenty of seating, press area, several scoreboards.

The Austin Zoo is worth visiting because it is a rescue zoo. There are no flashy exhibits, and the animal selection is fairly limited, but it is saving animal lives that might otherwise be lost. For that, the zoo is worth visiting even if you’re bored by (gasp!) just admiring the animals without an immersive and interactive multimedia experience.

first stop is always Touche for a flaming Dr. Pepper…

i recommend the turkey. i usually get that with a side of creamed corn and “new” potatoes.

their bbq sauce is excellent, btw!

Sit in the lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel for the best view. The bats are just simply amazing!

It’s a feast for all of the senses.

The atmosphere and view are great!

If you’re vegetarian, eat before you go. Your meat-eating friends will love this place, though.

I’ve been to the Magnolia on South Congress and Lake Austin many times, and always find the service is quicker and more friendly at the Lake Austin location.

On the menu, they say the fries are world famous. Well, they really are the best fries you could eat! Try their dipping sauce with them, too. They’re wonderful.

This place is also very vegetarian-friendly. You have many options off the menu!
