When exploring new places, I love exploring its botanical garden. Most botanical gardens follow the same premise, rose garden, plants indigenous to the area, bird watching, and other common plant and flower gardens.<\/p>\n
Zilker Park is a vast 351 acre metropolitan park located in Austin, TX. It consists of the Green Belt, Botanical Garden, Sculpture Garden, Natural Spring Pool, and numerous open areas that families can enjoy any day of the week. I encourage anyone visiting this awesome city to take a trip there and enjoy. Trust me its worth it on a nice sunny day.<\/p>\n
Located in the center of Austin, the Zilker Park is a good place to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the garden. Admission is $3.00 per person. (So Cheap!) Definitely a good family trip idea for the weekend. Its most notable gardens are the Isamu Taniguchi Japanese Garden, Hartman Prehistoric Garden, and Pioneer Village. Bring your camera, there are some really photo-worthy opportunities. All of my photos were taken with my Nikon D60. (I know, I know! Ancient!) Okay enough talking\u2026 enjoy!<\/p>\n

\nIt was discovered in 1992 that dinosaurs walked around Zilker Park. Paleontologists discovered reptile tracks, even bones of ancient turtle were found. Through out the prehistoric garden you can find plants indigenous to Austin during that era.<\/p>\n

The Gardens were a lush green, with sprinkles of colorful flowers through out. Displaying the flowers and plants indigenous to the area and the state of Texas.<\/p>\n
