We've been going to Summer Spark the past three summers, and my two 8 year olds are so excited to…read morego back this summer. This is such a special camp. The owner picks very high quality staff (teachers, I'm pretty sure) and trains them very well. It's not just a camp, it's a giant leap forward in your child's social, emotional development and problem solving skills. But the kids would not tell you that, they just love that they are having fun! I love that they get out and explore nature and create stuff out of recycled materials to solve fun challenges. They also learn the vocabulary of growth mindset and team work. The only drawback has been the location - but they've already fixed that by expanding to additional locations. Oh, and yes, it is one of the most expensive camps, but it's worth it!

My daughter absolutely loved this camp and Skylar Bossen is such an amazing camp coordinator. We…read morewill definitely be returning.

Great FREE option in Austin for kids!…read more One of the best parts is you can see an axolotl (two, actually) in their visitor center building. Then you can head over to the birds of prey, the reptile/fish building, and the animal enclosures. There's also a little lake and a large sand pit (dino dig). There's a cool room in the visitor center that has all sorts of nature items (bones, dead bugs, shells, rocks, etc.). You can bring in your own stuff to trade! Is it a huge amount of things to do/see? No but for a free attraction, it's pretty great. Parking is across the street -- lot is shared with Zilker Park and all the nearby attractions so it can get busy.

I didn't know what to expect from this place. Some science centers are kids-only affairs (despite…read morenot being billed as such) while others have more to offer visitors of all ages. Fortunately, the Austin Nature & Science Center ended up falling in the latter category. The main building houses an assortment of bones, shells, and rocks (as well as an axolotl tank) and another building is home to various reptiles. Outside areas include a dino pit (where kids can dig for fossils) and several animal enclosures. What makes the latter unique is that the animals are rehab/rescue cases. They include everything from a bobcat to a porcupine to a 34-year-old one-eyed owl (!!) and more. Granted, Austin Nature & Science Center does offer more for a younger crowd, and it isn't particularly easy to get to by bus, but it's hard to argue with a chance to take in flora and fauna for free.

My grandson went to Camp on the Move for 2 weeks. He has visited me from Maryland for his summer…read morebreak for the past 4 years. I have always enrolled him in the YMCA summer camp but he didn't want to go back this year. I was lucky enough to find Camp on the Move while looking for a different option for him. He had the best time on every trip they took and wanted to sign-up for a 3rd week but all sessions were full. He has made me promise to make his reservations for next year. Camp on the Move has made me the Best Mimi on the planet!! It's worth every dollar. See you next year, Debi.

Debi and her camp are the best!! My son Aaron has gone to Camp on the Move, for 3 yrs in a row and…read morehe has had the time of his life. How cool is it to go on a field trip daily, in style, in an upscale, air-conditioned bus to Schlitterbaun, K-1, Hawaiin Falls, just to name a few? Well apparently, it is awesome!! Aaron already asked me to go back next year. Debi, thanks giving my son so many memorable and fun experiences that he won't ever forget.

This is a great summer camp that is very well run. Super creative activities. Last summer my boys…read moremade these fun colorful rugs out of old t-shirts and wallets from upcycled sweater materials. They turned out awesome. My boys are 7 and 10 and loved going here because they can run and jump and do fun games in the gym one minute and tie dye t-shirts the next. Highly recommend it.

Last year both my 6 year old and my 9 year old had an awesome time at Camp Roadrunner. The tie dyed…read moreshirts get worn year round and they can't wait to do it all again this summer. What a treat it is to enjoy an old fashioned summer each year! Ice cream making was my little one's favorite, and my oldest looooved the felting crafts. Truly unique! Staff was excellent to both boys.

In just 30min., we had learned terminology, some fun + basic techniques to practice, and we had a realistic idea of what learning the guitar would entail. Most importantly, my child was excited to return for official lessons!! We're signing on for lessons; you should, too!

I took my kids to a Mad Science show and all three of us left disappointed. No science was…read morepresented and the show was boring. They gave every kid a chance to come up front, which is good, but it meant that the same cheap tricks were repeated several times. For example, we watched 16 different kids spin a tube in the air and make a WOO WOO WOO noise with it. They did not explain why the tube makes the noise. We sat, watching even more kids pull a string attached to a bucket to make a vaguely thunder like noise over and over and over again. Again, no explanation of sound waves or vibrations. I don't know why the presenter was in a lab coat. I don't know why the show was recommended for ages 8 and up only. By the time you're 8, you've already shaken a slinky around (another one of the 'scientific demonstrations') Some kids went up twice, while there were still others raising their hand for their turn to go up the first time. The presenter never asked for only those who haven't been up yet to raise their hand. Several families left immediately after their kid finished their turn on stage.

He is so proud of himself and everything he's learning -- not just the skills, but the confidence and discipline that come with it. It's been amazing to watch him grow. We also hosted his birthday party here, and it was a huge hit. Every single kid had an absolute blast, and it was so well organized. The cherry on top was the final game where the adults were invited to join in -- that was just as fun for us as it was for the kids! Highly recommend this place for classes and parties. The instructors are fantastic, the environment is positive and encouraging, and it's clear they truly care about the kids and families they work with.

This place is AMAZING! My son has been going here for several months. Mr. Johnson, Ms. English and…read moreMs. Johnson are always very engaging, friendly, helpful and over great. I cannot say enough great things about this place. We're moving out of state in a few months, and Mr. Johnson took time to find other Tiger Rock associated places near our new town. I've noticed a positive change in my son's behavior too. I was a little worried he might try and use Taekwondo at school, but after a talk about not, and knowing the Tiger Cub pledge, he's been very great with only doing it at the center. Most importantly, my son is VERY happy going to class, which makes me a happy mom.

Super fun. All ages from 3 to 103…read more Great to do on those super hot days or cold days. Took our teens to get away from electronics and be in the moment and creative. Were they thrilled? Nope. Did they have a lot of fun. YUP. Depending on where you are coming from its up the hill right as you enter hill country off of 290 from south austin. If you are coming from the west off 290 its headed towards south austin about 20min from Dripping Springs a few min past Belterra strip mall food area. Plenty of parking. Lots of seating on a Sunday around 12noon ish Thanksgiving weekend. No time limit on doing your chosen art. I tried glass making for the 1st and it was fun and challenging l. Instructions by the staff very useful! Friendly. Helpful. Welcoming. We each chose something different. Plenty of items small, med or large to chose from. Pottery comes with whatever pain you want, glass area there are easy and complex projects. You pay, they fire/bake the pieces and you show up about a week later to grab your pieces. We each got something around 40.00 or under. Time flew by. We were there for maybe 2.5hrs. My teens were not on their phones once. Engaged, creative, good family time. Come visit, bring a friend, spouse/partner, day date, just yourself. Thank you for having this space for folks to be in the moment and creative with things that open their mind, heart and soul
