Tour group destinations within Austin

Barton Springs Municipal Pool

Located in south Austin’s Zilker Park, the Barton Springs Municipal Pool is a large outdoor swimming pool fed entirely from nearby freshwater natural springs. The area has been a popular local swimming destination since the mid-1800s, prized for its stable temperatures that sit around 70 ° all year-round.

State Capitol

Austin’s State Capitol building is the seat of the Texas state government and home of both the office of the Governor of Texas and the chambers of the Texas Legislature. The building was designed in the Italian Renaissance Revival style in 1881 by architect Elijah E. Myers and is one of six other state capitols taller than the United States Capitol in Washington, DC.

Lady Bird Lake

Lady Bird Lake (also known as Town Lake) is a reservoir on the Colorado River in Central Austin. The City of Austin originally dug the reservoir in 1960 to serve as a cooling pond for one of the city’s new power plants. Today, the 416-acre lake is mainly used for recreational purposes, including non-motorized boating, fishing, and biking on trails along the lake’s shores.

Bullock Texas State History Museum

Located just a few blocks from the state capitol building, the Bullock Texas State History Museum is dedicated to recounting and interpreting “the story of Texas.” The Museum’s newest permanent exposition, “Becoming Texas”, includes a projectile fragment that was discovered at the nearby Gault archaeological site, 40 miles outside of Austin, and is one of the oldest human-made objects on display in the world.
