Austin residents

Can you tell me about some kid friendly activities there? DH has to go there for work at the beginning of September for 4 nights and we were thinking that I would tag along with the kids. Now I'm chickening out. I get nervous driving on the highway, so that might limit our activities. We would be staying close to Downtown.

I'm starting to think that 4 days solo with the kids in a town that I'm not too familiar with will be too much. We normally stay in suites so that naps and bedtime will be easier, but this will be a normal room.

I'm in Austin! The Austin Children's Museum www.austinkids.org/ is in the middle of downtown. Our zoo is about a 30 minute drive from downtown and it's okay, but not awesome. It will still be pretty freakin' hot here at the beginning of September. I'd plan to go to Deep Eddy pool or Barton Springs, both close to downtown. Frankly in the summer we spend most of our time with the kids at bouncy castle places, swimming, or a sprinkler park.
