Great little hole-in-the-wall. The scenery is not the greatest but they have decent food and good drinks. We also like their breakfast tacos.

Mostly high-end shopping with restaurants in and around the mall. This is an open mall so if it is raining it might not be the most ideal place to roam around.

I prefer this Target because it seems to be stocked better and it has a Starbucks inside. There is also a HEB right next door.

This is an indoor trampoline place. Great place to take the kids on a rainy day. Lakeline Mall is right there and it is an enclosed mall.

This is a really cool activity to do with your family. Make sure you go to their website and make reservations ahead of time if you know this is something you would like to do while visiting Austin. They get pretty booked so you probably won't be able to just go there on a whim.
