About
200 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Austin, TX 78712, USA Get directions
The main gallery building of the University of Texas's art museum, the Smith Building holds a collection known for its European paintings and one of the country's strongest holdings of Latin American art. First-time visitors usually make a beeline for the grounds nearby, where Ellsworth Kelly's "Austin"—a stone chapel-like structure lit by panels of colored glass—is the campus's quiet showstopper.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Mueller
Austin
Alamo Drafthouse's Mueller location keeps the chain's signature formula intact: you order food and craft cocktails right from your seat, delivered quietly mid-film, while a strict no-talking, no-texting policy keeps the room focused on the screen. Beyond first-run releases, it's worth checking the calendar for themed screenings, quote-alongs, and the pre-show reels of vintage clips that Alamo curates instead of commercials.

The Paramount Theatre
Austin
Austin's Paramount Theatre sits in a restored 1915 building on Congress Avenue, its neon vertical sign and gilded interior marking it as one of the city's oldest surviving performance halls. Today it hosts everything from touring plays and comedy to a beloved summer classic film series, and it's a regular venue during SXSW and other downtown festivals.

Pflugerville
Just off I-35 in Pflugerville, Austin's packs go-karts, bowling lanes, mini golf, batting cages, and a sprawling arcade under one roof, with a bar and grill to regroup between rounds. It's the kind of all-in-one spot families and groups land on for a rainy afternoon or a birthday, where you can bounce from the track to the lanes without ever moving the car.
