It's a nice facility with plenty of activities for the little ones. A majority of the space is outdoors, but they installed several sun shades which helps keep the kids out of direct sunlight.

They have different play scapes for toddlers and young kids as well as small bikes, trikes, water toys and painting supplies. It's a nice way for kids to spend a couple of hours here doing various activities but it's nowhere near as big or engaging as the original Thinkery at Mueller.

I've gotten to do the Austin Segway Tour with Gliding Revolution on two separate occasions…read more Let's get these FAQs answered first: Yes, it was voluntary. (Both for work functions/team building activities) Yes, I did feel as ridiculous as I looked. Yes, I had a ball doing it. Yes, I'd do it again. Shay and Juan were both incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They take the time to discuss some fun facts and interesting Texas history. For example - anyone know the story on moontowers? I enjoyed zooming past the Texas State Capitol and whisking through Rainey Street. Two pointers - lather up on the sunscreen and be sure to pay attention. Especially in such a large group, you can miss warning signs.

Definitely a must-try for adrenaline seekers in the Austin area. Safety video is ~2 minutes and the race comes with a helmet rental (but you can bring your own). It is rather pricey for one 10-minute race. The cars are gas and it MATTERS how heavy you are. You will be on track with experienced and inexperienced drivers.

When you first enter, you walk through a signature walk-way that leads to a few food/drink stores, a gift shop, an area for marshmallow roasting, and the start of the trail. The trail lasted about 75 minutes and had so many cool attractions. Some are physical structures, some are animated on screens, and a few are user-driven by casting a spell! A few of the 'bigger' stops also have staff working who can provide wands for your to do the activity/spell. Once you finish the trail, you exit through the gift shop which I actually really liked because I was able to browse/pick up a few souvenirs without having to go out of my way. All around I had a great time and would absolutely go back with a few friends. I got there a bit late (8:30) and it closes at 10, but I would have liked to spend a few more hours just hanging out and maybe walking the trail again. Awesome stuff!!!

Getting to the parking lot was a bit confusing as they had changed the traffic flow on the highway that leads you there. But once you turned onto the property, it was smooth sailing. The parking attendants followed a straightforward process to line up all the cars and park them in the right spots. Having the gate attendants scan our QR codes for entrance was easy. Walking in, we were immediately taken to a different world. From the lights and aesthetics to the sounds and smells, we quickly forgot we were in Texas. There are several food and drink stalls where you can order bites and drinks. They have different hot chocolates based on which character house you identify with. They also had butter beer, but we didn't enjoy it as much as the original found in Universal Studios. I wasn't expecting this to be a walking experience, but I was pleasantly surprised as we entered the Forbidden Forest. We also wanted to meet the cast here, but there are different areas with highlights within each one. Some unique features are interactive, while others are simply interpretations of characters in the series. A wand isn't necessary but adds to the overall enjoyment. There are some places where you can do spells with your wand. But if you want to, you could wave your hand. The trail is well-lit, so you know where you need to go. The trail is also one-way, so there's no chance of getting lost in the forest. All in all, we had a wonderful time. Make sure to take lots of pictures to preserve your memories of this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

It was our first time kayaking & we didn't know what to expect on the river but Linda quickly put us at ease. She was very knowledgeable about the river & explained how to navigate it & things to look out for. We were shuttled to the launch site, given a quick lesson on how to hold & use the paddles & we were on our way. Despite the heat, the river was pretty cool (glad we brought insulated water bottles & a cooler with snacks). It was peaceful & the water was calm & we made it to the end without tipping over. We saw lots of turtles, birds, even a few cows taking a dip. At the end two huge blue herons flew across the river right in front of us...it was a great experience & we can't wait to do it again. Highly recommend this company- the reservation process was easy (we just called the day before) & the everything was provided (dry bags & life vests included), the price is very reasonable & the local knowledge was exceptional.

I do hope they get some new things in and we can continue to enjoy this place in their new location.
