The nightly 昀氀ight of 1.5 million bats that
live under the Congress Avenue Bridge.
Why go? It’s an Austin ritual to gather
each evening, from late March through
early fall after checking the “bat
emergency hotline” for times and watch
the creatures come out to feed.

Within Zilker Park’s 358 acres lies one of the
crown jewels of Austin - Barton Springs Pool.
The pool itself measures three acres in size,
and is fed from underground springs with an
average temperature of 68-70 degrees, ideal
for year-round swimming. Over the years,
Barton Springs Pool has drawn people from all
walks of life, from legislators who have
concocted state laws there to free-spirited,
topless sunbathers who turned heads in the
1970s. Robert Redford learned to swim at the
pool when he was 昀椀ve years old while visiting
family in Austin. Today, Barton Springs still
attracts a diverse crowd of people and has
seen record setting numbers of visitors
nearing 800,000 in recent years.
