More information on Austin Children's Museum
Located in a large, state-of-the-art facility, this excellent children's museum has something for people of all ages. Tots enjoy the low-key but creative playscapes, in between takes on a variety of "creation stations," and such grown-up environments as a studio sound stage (part of "Austin Kiddie Limits") please even incipient adolescents. Parents will get a kick out of the replica Austin city landscapes, including the recently introduced Rising Star Ranch, where a Hill Country pond is stocked with wooden musical frogs. In the fall of 2007, the museum is planning an exhibit entitled "It's a Nano World" that will explore the lives of all creatures small and smaller. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
