Zilker Metropolitan Park, Austin

The gardens were a nice surprise. There are many paths and they all were beautiful. If you have small children, the fairy gardens are adorable. I loved the Japanese garden the best. There were waterfalls and the paths and bridges let you go down around into the pond area and right next to the waterfalls. It is hard to believe you are right off the highway.

Best park in the United States. Amazing things to do every single day. Really cute dogs always hang out here. During Christmas they have the trail of lights and that is a spectacle in itself. They've got the kite festival which is bananas cool. It's the 10 of other great weekend and weekday activities like blues on the greens and other interesting pop up events. Awesome place for picnic and sport pickups.
