Austin Children's Museum

If you have kids to entertain, don't miss this museum. Exhibits are slyly educational and lots of fun. Austin Kiddie Limits, for example, lets your rising rocker or budding crooner experience the thrill of live performance, while Funstruction Zone encourages problem-solving and hones math skills. The Japan and Nature exhibit offers an impressive look at the country through a child's eyes, and Creation Station stimulates creativity with a variety of multi-media art projects. Rising Star Ranch, geared for the under-two set, includes pint-sized versions of a ranch house and barn.
