  Looking For Fun Things to Do with Kids in Austin?

     iFLY is an indoor skydiving experience that creates true free fall conditions, just like skydiving, without having to jump out of an airplane. iFLY's vertical wind tunnel creates a wall-to-wall cushion of air on which you can safely float. There's no parachute, no jumping, and nothing attaching you to planet Earth. It's just you and the air, and it's the most incredible adrenaline rush. No experience is necessary. Just about anyone can fly, including those with physical disabilities. Children as young as 3 to adults as young as 103 have flown with us.

  T'was a night before Christmas, and all through the park, not a creature was stirring as the evening grew dark. With the animals tucked away safely for a long winter's night, the Zoo suddenly brightened with thousands of tiny lights. There were carolers singing and tasty treats, too. Now there's just one thing missing - we're all expecting you! Reliant Wild Lights brought to you by TFNB Your Bank For Life will take place from Wednesday-Sunday beginning November 24 through December 31. Kids of all ages can visit with Santa from 6pm to closing through December 23rd. Tickets will be available October 1, 2023.
