On Sunday, September 23, 2018 you can enjoy FREE admission at over 44 local museums and cultural institutions! Presented by the Austin Museum Partnership, this annual occasion gives us the chance to explore exhibits and get hands-on with plenty of special family-friendly activities throughout the day.

My favorite ones are  :

Thinkery : My kids love to go here. This is a place where they blend science and fun. You can get answers  for  “how” and “why” . We love this place. If you are new to Austin and have elementary age kids this place is a must go .They will surely have fun .Open 10 AM -5 Pm
