Springtime in Austin is a breath of fresh air – literally. The wildflowers are blooming, the weather is just right, and there’s no shortage of ways to get out and enjoy the city. Spring is the perfect opportunity to break up the routine and soak in some sunshine.
Whether you’re a longtime Austinite or new to the area, here are some spring activities you and your Companion can enjoy together.
Take a Walk Among the Wildflowers at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
Few things say “spring in Austin,” like the Wildflower Center. With paved, accessible trails and plenty of shaded benches, it’s a peaceful place to enjoy native Texas blooms. Stroll and chat while surrounded by color, or sit and take it all in. A Companion can help lead the way, read signs aloud, or be a buddy to share the view. Don’t forget a sun hat and some water!
Have a Picnic at Zilker Park
Zilker Park is Austin’s backyard and perfect for a picnic. Pack a light lunch (your Companion can help prepare it), bring a blanket or find a shady picnic table, and enjoy people-watching with a view of downtown. It’s a great spot for meaningful conversation, light snacks, or even a game of cards.
Explore Local History at the Bullock Texas State History Museum
If the spring heat gets a little too intense, a museum is a great way to stay cool and stay curious. The Bullock Museum is spacious and accessible and offers exhibits that spark great conversations. A Companion can help lead the way through the space, discuss the displays, or grab a cup of coffee at the museum café afterward.
Enjoy Live Music at a Patio Café or Community Event
Austin’s live music scene doesn’t slow down for anyone – and that’s a good thing! Many local cafés, farmers markets, and community centers host free outdoor music events that are easy to attend. Your Companion can find a low-key event, drive you there, and enjoy the rhythm of the city right alongside you.
Visit a Farmers Market Together
Browsing fresh produce, local crafts, and seasonal flowers can be a fun, low-stress outing. The Texas Farmers Market at Mueller is especially friendly, with smooth paths and plenty of space to stroll. A Companion can help carry bags, point out neat finds, or keep you company while you take your time.
Sit Outside with a Good Book and Good Company
Sometimes, the simplest things are the most restorative. Sitting outside in a garden, on a porch, or in a quiet park with a good book (or a Companion reading) can bring comfort and joy. Companions are here to support quiet moments, too – not just outings.
Why These Moments Matter
It’s not just about where you go – it’s about who you’re with. Companions are here to support your lifestyle, whether that means planning a special afternoon out or enjoying the quiet rituals of spring at home. These simple joys of sharing a laugh, watching the birds, and trying something new are what build connections and brighten days.
