THINGS TO DO
In the evening, the Blue Starlite Mini Urban Drive-in screens blockbusters and independent films. Under a big Texas sky, the events are held in the Mueller neighborhood. Check out the films.
You won't regret visiting the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center if you like beautiful scenery and learning about native plants and animals. Having the open area allows you to avoid crowds and enjoy the fresh air outside.
The Pinballz Arcade features endless arcade games, both new and historical. There is nothing better than eating, drinking, and winning prizes for hours on end. We also have a BYOB policy at our North Austin location! A local business Austinites can be proud of.

Lady Bird Lake's Hike & Bike Trail and Boardwalk offer a wide range of benefits. It's a great place to contemplate and watch the bats come out at dusk to gorge with striking views of the Austin skyline, a beautiful lake, and plenty of trees rustling all around.
Walking distance from each other is the UMLAUF Sculpture Park, Zilker Park, and Zilker Botanical Garden. An afternoon reading in the sun or a picnic are perfect ways to start the day.
