4 Fun-Filled Events to Check Out This Week!
Austin’s got some serious spring magic brewing, and we’ve rounded up four family-friendly events where you can laugh, learn, move, groove, and maybe even sip on some free coffee while your kids dig in the dirt. (Yes, really.) Whether you’ve got a toddler who loves storytime or a budding mathematician ready to shine, there’s a little something for everyone. Let’s go play!
Playdate at Patterson Neighborhood Park
📍 Where: Patterson Neighborhood Park
📅 When: April 16th, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
💖 Why You’ll Love It: It’s the perfect mid-morning breather. Think story time under the trees, craft stations that won’t wreck your dining room table, and just the right amount of wiggling and giggling. It’s a casual, come-as-you-are meet-up that turns your Wednesday into a win.
📌 Good to Know: Bring water, sunscreen, and a picnic blanket. Ideal for ages 2–6, but all are welcome!
Lakeline Concert Series – Zoodust
📍 Where: Lakeline Park
📅 When: April 18th, 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM
💖 Why You’ll Love It: Zoodust is bringing the 90s back—and you will be singing along. With nostalgic jams for the grown-ups and plenty of lawn space for kids to dance their hearts out, it’s a fun, free Friday night that checks all the boxes.
📌 Good to Know: Bring chairs or a blanket, grab dinner from a nearby food truck, and let the good vibes roll. Bonus points if you dress in throwback 90s gear.
🌱 Kids Planting Seeds + Free Coffee/Tea
📍 Where: Greensprout Hub
📅 When: April 19th, 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM
💖 Why You’ll Love It: A win-win: your kids get to pot a flower and learn about gardening while you enjoy a hot (yes, actually hot) cup of coffee or tea—on the house. It’s a chill drop-in event that’s all about growing things: plants, curiosity, and community.
📌 Good to Know: Sessions start every 2 hours during the window. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirt on!
➕ Math Fest ’25
📍 Where: Austin Uptown Dance
📅 When: April 20th, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
💖 Why You’ll Love It: Math games, brainteasers, hands-on crafts, and prizes? Yes please. This is a super fun way to flex those mental muscles while proving that math isn’t just cool—it’s a blast. Great for kids who love numbers and those who think they don’t (yet).
📌 Good to Know: Open to all ages, with activities tailored by age group. Snacks and prizes available while supplies last—come early for max fun!
We’ll be over here packing our tote bags, chasing down sun hats, and plotting how to score an extra cup of that free coffee. ☀️ See you out there!
