| What To Do In Austin Texas In April |
Bluebonnets and Beyond: Outdoor Adventures Aplenty
Because let's face it, Texas and springtime were practically made for each other.
Blooming Bonanza: Texas Hill Country explodes with a sea of bluebonnets in April. Rent a car, crank up the tunes (think Willie Nelson, obvs), and get ready for Instagram-worthy wildflower fields. Pro tip: weekdays are less crowded than weekends for these floral beauties.
Barton Springs Pool: Feeling a little toasty? Take a dip in Barton Springs Pool, a fed-from-the-underground natural spring paradise smack dab in the middle of the city. It's basically a giant, free pool party – minus the questionable pool floats.
Zilker Park: This sprawling green space offers hiking and biking trails, Zilker Metropolitan Park, and even a Zilker Botanical Garden for those who fancy some fancy flowers. There's also Zilker Park Kite Festival in April, if you're feeling nostalgic for your childhood.
Keep Austin Weird: Embrace the Eclectic
Austin's motto ain't just a slogan, it's a way of life.
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.

Museum Mania: Feeling cultured? Dive into the quirky and the cool at museums like the Bullock Texas State History Museum or the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum.
Murals, Murals Everywhere: Austin's street art scene is legendary. Grab a map and embark on a self-guided mural tour, or just wander around and get surprised by the artistic goodness on every corner.
