Easter in Austin is a beautiful day best spent outside!
And if you’ve got kids, it’s also one of the easiest weekends of the year to keep them entertained without doing too much.
Here are a few easy ways to make the most out of this Easter, April 4th!

Visit The Animals
If your kids are more into animals than candy (or just need a break from all the sugar), Austin zoo is perfect. Its smaller, more interactive and way less overwhelming than bigger zoos.
You can also swing by Mayfield Park – which isn’t exactly an Easter event, but the peacocks kind of steal the show anyway.
Picnic Weather is Back
Sometimes, though, the best plan is no plan. Grab food, a blanket, and head back to Zilker Park or even Auditorium Shores. Let the kids run around, throw a frisbee, maybe sneak in your own mini egg hunt.
Whatever you choose, Easter in Austin doesn’t have to be complicated. Between all the city parks, the hot weather and a few well-placed golden eggs, you’ve already got everything you need. Just don’t forget to pace yourself and all the candy!
