Zero Latency VR South Austin

Amusement center

👍👍 This was a really cool experience! I had a blast shooting zombies. The VR was so realistic and I was really impressed with the technology. I was a little worried about tripping and falling at first because I’m pregnant but had no issues walking around while in game. The staff is really friendly and...

SmashZen

Amusement center

👍👍 This is so fun and cute! I also like how it doesn't take too much time to do.

The zen room is super cute too! I...

SMASH THERAPY LLC

Amusement center

👍 My husband got me a 30 minute session for mother's day. It was so much fun! Only negative was the heat. It was super hot in the room and with exhausting so much energy and rage, I ended up feeling tired pretty quickly, but they do provide water lol. Can't wait to go again!

The Batting Cages

Batting cage center

Texas Jailhouse (Tours & Events)

Tourist attraction

👍👍 The Grinch's Lair was a lot of fun! My three-year-old is a huge fan of the Grinch, but of course, when it came time to see him in person and take a pic, she freaked out. 🥴😂 The gentleman playing the Grinch was super sweet with her and then had us go downstairs and pose for a "family picture" while...

Cook n Grow

Cooking school

😐 This was an adorable cooking class, although it's probably not best for kids under seven or eight years old. My five year old enjoyed the class but was required to sit still almost the entire morning, besides a short trip to wash her hands. I was told they simply didn't have time even for a five m...

Z & OO Railroad

Amusement center

👍👍 Cute little train, with a really nice conductor!! Very inexpensive, we paid $5 for two people to ride. They have to tack on a $1 credit card fee. Short ride, only about 7 minutes, but fun if you’re looking to cool off after visiting the zoo across the street (which I’d also recommend.)
