|
Uniqueness |
Did
it have that keep Austin Weird unique vibe? Was it new and
interesting or same old neighborhood park? (Nothing wrong with your
neighborhood park...but if we took the effort to travel...we want something
different and unique!) A value of 1 means it was not very unique, a value of
5 means it was crazy unique and different. |
4 |
|
Variety |
Refers
to the different areas or different activities that were available. A value
of 1, means there was not much variety. A value of 5 means it had a lot of
different things for the kids! |
5 |
|
Safety |
How
safe was my toddler without me having to intervene much? Did he fall multiple
times? Did he hurt himself? A value of 1 is not very safe and probably would
not bring the kid back. A value of 5 means safety was in the mind of the
designer and pretty much kid proof. |
3 |
|
Kid
Friendly |
Was
it Intentionally design for kids? Or mostly for adults? A value of 1 would
mean that it was fun enough for kids, but not really designed for kids. A
value of 5 would be it is designed for kids. |

Cost: Depends on age and being Austin Resident. It was 8$ for me and my kiddos free as they are 2 and under!
Stroller friendly? Mostly yes. A few areas have paths that get more narrow and inclined near the Japanese garden...for most part it is stroller friendly.
Restroom available: Yes! Near the entrance.
It was very fun to go to the Zilker Botanical Garden! My son loves fish so the whole time we were looking at all the ponds to find the fish. (Spoiler: we found fish only in the pond at the entrance parking lot and that was his favorite spot!)
It is stroller friendly for the most part. We just followed the path to where my toddler was going. There was an area with dinosaurs, and another one with butterfly chairs. It was rainy when we went and in the middle of winter so not many butterflies...but I believe in the spring there should be more butterflies.
I gave safety a slightly lower value mostly because of the rocks and because some of the areas are uneven and I was having trouble pushing the stroller around without it sliding. If you know me you know I am a strong woman! So I think your average person might have some troubles too!
It is not a park with swings per say...but overall a fun adventure!
They also have a small area just for kids. We did not stay there too long though! My toddler loved the fountains and the dinosaurs.
