2021 Snow Wonderland in Lago Vista, Texas!

 The unexpected snow blast of 2021.

My toddy had a lot of fun making snow angels, snow pizzas, snow donuts and such! It was great to see our house in the snow and to enjoy the view! So magical. I won't say much more except...he wants to go in the snow again!

The Mommy Park Review: Enchanted Rock

 

Map: Enchanted Rock



Overall: 3.5/5

Factor

Description

Rating (Out of 5)

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.

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!

3

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.

4

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.

Overall

Average of all factors listed below for final overall score

3.5 

Cost: 7$/person (As of 1/7/21)

Stroller friendly? Not if going up the mountain, stroller okay if going around the mountain. We climb up top with the toddlers this time.

Restroom? Due to covid restrooms were closed but they had porter potty stations.

We had a blast at Enchanted Rock! Don't let the lower score detter you from coming. I rated it not as kid friendly because it is more for a family hike than an actual park...but my toddler had a lot of fun climbing! He wanted to pretend he was a gorilla climbing up hill! He can be very independent and also wanted to walk down but that was a bit unsafe for him as the incline can be quite steep...so my husband carried both boys going upwards and we both held the toddlers hand going down. 

It was so fun to just rest and take the view at the top! We always carry some snacks and had some trail mix and juice at the tippy top to celebrate their first hike at Enchanted Rock!

It was truly magical even though we climb a bit slower with our toddler than it would usually take us. Overall, we stayed at the park for 3 hrs!
