Things to do with kids in Austin

The steady supply around Austin is the libraries: free storytimes, crafts and after-school programmes most weekdays, at every branch. On top of that come the museums' workshops, the farms' weekend days, children's theatre, and the seasonal run of pumpkin patches in October, holiday events in December and splash pads in summer. The wineries and breweries are family-friendly in the afternoons and many have play areas.

Free things are marked. Where a venue lists an age range, it is on the event's page.
