Nature Rocks! Let’s Go Explore Austin is a great website that comes from a joint effort of the Children in Nature Collaborative of Austin
the city of Austin’s Westcave Nature Preserve, and REI. The website is a go-to place for many of the nature events going around in Austin. Most of the events are free or low-cost. Austin always has an abundance of nature & science events taking place & they’re a great way to encourage a natural curiosity in your children–whether they’re interested in bats, geology, star-gazing, cave ecosystems, ecology, hiking, kayaking, etc. In my own family, I find that I’m usually the one who is initially excited to go exploring, but once my child is immersed in the activity, it’s hard to get him to leave. —Nature definitely rocks.
