Austin Duck Adventures
About
103 E 5th St., Austin, TX 78701, USA Get directions
Austin Duck Adventures runs tours aboard amphibious vehicles that roll through downtown's landmarks before splashing straight into Lake Austin, so the ride switches from street to water without anyone leaving their seat. Tours leave from the 5th Street stop midday on weekdays, and the goofy duck-call kazoos handed out at the start tell you pretty quickly this one leans more playful than buttoned-up.

Texas Capitol Visitors Center
Austin
Austin's Texas Capitol Visitors Center sits a block south of the Capitol itself, housed in the 1857 General Land Office building—the oldest surviving state office building in Texas and once a workplace of writer O. Henry. Inside you'll find exhibits on the building's history and the Capitol grounds along with maps and information to orient your visit, and it's worth knowing the center keeps shorter hours than you might expect, so plan for a daytime stop.

Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bat Bridge
Austin
Bats over Congress Avenue Bridge — the largest urban bat colony in North America, roughly 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats that roost beneath the deck from spring through fall. On warm evenings around dusk they stream out together to feed, and you can watch from the bridge sidewalk, the lawn below, or a boat on Lady Bird Lake.
Old Bakery and Emporium
Austin
Housed in a restored 19th-century brick building on Congress Avenue, the Old Bakery and Emporium traces its name to the Lundberg Bakery that once operated here, and today the city-run shop sells handmade crafts and gifts—many created by local seniors—alongside visitor information. Step inside for the pressed-tin ceiling and old-Austin atmosphere as much as for the goods on the shelves.
