No Bad Days Kayak

Explore the elegant side of Austin at the Neill-Cochran House, considered one of the city's three most important historic residences, where you'll discover several rooms decorated with 1780-1925 furniture. Tour the historic home and hear several stories about the many occupants over the years, including the Texas School for the Blind and its occupation by federal troops during Reconstruction. The home is open for daily tours and is a living history lesson on how Austin went from a sleepy outpost to the state capital to the home of one of the largest universities in the country.

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.
