Take a Dip in Barton Springs
Located in Zilker’s Park, Barton Springs Pool is one of Austin’s coolest attractions. The huge natural pool is fed by underground springs which give it a toasty temperature of 68-70°F. This inviting turquoise pool is surrounded by grassy areas perfect for lounging, sunbathing, and picnicking. Just be sure to take any trash home with you!
