Things to Do in Anderson Mill
Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park
If your kids like to bounce, climb and fly, then this is the place for you and your family. With monthly passes and birthday party options, this is the go-to place for kids. We recommend for ages 2-12.
Catch Air Austin
Get ready to be teleported into outer space. Catch Air is next-level for any kid who has abundant energy. Crawlers and runners alike will find something to do as there are dedicated sections for little kids and big kids with amazing tunnels, slides and even puzzles. Great for kids 1-12.
Indigo Play
Indigo is amazing for your under 1year olds as well as up to probably around 8. There are dedicated crawler sections where everything is soft to towers of tubes where the older (little kids) like to run and slide through. Make it a full wake window and hit up the Austin Aquarium next door and get a discount.
Austin Aquarium
Have you ever been to an aquarium in a strip-mall? If not, let’s just set some expectations. No, the Austin Aquarium does not even remotely come close to the Birch Aquarium in San Diego or the Okinawa Aquarium in Japan, but that’s OK. If you have little kids or just want to go on a random date as an adult, the Austin Aquarium offers a touch and feel experience like those others do not.
H-E-B plus!
Offers groceries, beer and wine, plus a deli, pharmacy and florist.
Cure Bakery Coffee
Delicious fresh pastries, yummy sandwiches, and awesome coffee.
Lakeline Mall
