It's usually calm there, lots of twisting paths, pretty flowers, shady trees, tons of things to look at but not overwhelming, there are open spaces, closed-in spaces, ponds to stick fingers into, and a Japanese Tea house with amazing textures to explore.

Unfortunately not free anymore - admission is $2- for adults and $1- for children. The grounds are quite accessible - most areas are though, there are just a few paths that are too narrow for a chair or big stroller.

Awesome lunch stop nearby: PTerry's.

They offer gluten free french fries!! Most fast food places also fry things coated in wheat flour in the fryers, but PTerry doesn't have anything like that on their menu and so their fries are the only items that get dunked in the fryer. Over the many years we've been going there my daughter has never had a negative reaction to those fries! They are also good about making a bun-less burger, or if you need it, just a patty. The location on So. Lamar and Barton Springs road only has outdoor seating, and helpful grackles to clean up after messy eaters. The eating area is not really chair accessible, unfortunately.
