We still have a couple of months with temps under 85 degrees – at least one can hope. There are so many way to enjoy Austin before it gets too hot to function. We don’t want you to miss any of them so we put together a winter bucket list!
7 Winter Bucket List Activities You Have To Try!
Watch a move at the drive-in.
Grab the blankets and pillows and take a drive to Blue Starlite Mini Urban Drive-In. This boutique drive-in movie theater is the perfect date night or family activity for a night underneath the starry sky.
Get some hot barbecue.
Austin is known for its many, delicious barbecue joints. When the weather is cooler, indulge in some moist brisket, spicy sausage, and tender ribs. Plus, if you’re waiting in line outside, it won’t be standing in the Texas heat. Here’s our list for the best barbecue in ATX.
Get your workout on.
We love Austin for all the outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, and paddleboarding, but what about when the air is a little too brisk? For bouldering and rock climbing, check out Crux Climbing Center or Austin Bouldering Project. For all sports including basketball, soccer, running, and more, Hill Country Indoor has it all.
