Barton Springs Pool

This is a big swimming hole that is spring-fed. The pool is surrounded by beautiful gardens and pecan trees. The spring water that is fed into the pool is maintained at about 68 degrees year round. It bubbles up at a rate of 27 million gallons a day. The schedule for the pool varies but most of the time there is a lifeguard on duty from 9am until 6pm. The only time the pool closes is in early March for spring cleaning.

Bats of the Congress Avenue Bridge

This event happens in downtown Texas on the Congress Avenue Bridge. It is very interesting to witness. In between the months of March and November over a million and a half free tail bats spend the day under this bridge. They come out after dark to catch and eat their dinner every night. It is said to be a very interesting sight to watch and it takes the bats more than half an hour to get their food for the night. The best time to watch them come out is at 8:30pm.

Barcelona

For Nightly entertainment, Barcelona is the place to be. This is a club that is literally underground and is a very stylish with bold and colorful lighting. They have different kinds of music playing every night thanks to individual DJs. There are bars at each end of the room and private areas spaced throughout the nightclub. Dancing is a big deal at this nightclub so if you can move this is the place to be for night entertainment.
