ER out the door

Celebrate Eeyore's Birthday Party every April at Pease Park, where the bizarre and unusual are perfectly normal. This celebration highlights Austin’s lovably odd, free-spirit culture at this iconic annual spring festival. Eeyore’s Birthday Party features games, face painting, henna, temporary tattoos, live music, drum circles, dancing, and singing. Costumes are certainly encouraged. So rummage through the closet for those tutus, fairy wings, hula hoops, and flower crowns.

Surround yourself with the works of Charles Umlauf and other visual artists as they showcase their unique sculptures at The UMLAUF Sculpture Garden & Museum, where they encourage the understanding and appreciation of the intersection of nature, sculpture, and the arts. Take a stroll through the gardens and contemplate the sculptures or your thoughts. Enjoy some private time with a friend as you sit on the secluded benches and enjoy the occasional dance or music performance amongst the trees.

Enjoy the vino on a romantic date at the 65-acre Fall Creek Vineyards, where the micro climate of the Texas Hill Country produces robust wine grapes. Tours and tastings available daily.

Of all the ways to get around Austin, Barton Springs Bike Rental offers plenty of choices. Rent a bike for the day or week, or reserve a spot on one of their many downtown bike tours.
