Things to do in Austin: The Thinkery

1830 Simond Ave, Austin, TX 78723

The Thinkery is possibly one of the most entertaining places for adults–er…. we mean, children– to visit. There are rotating exhibits to keep you enthralled so if you are an Austinite make sure you don’t let too much time pass before you schedule to revisit. Their newest program, Earth, Wind, Inspire is sure to get the science geek in all of us out. Not only does the Thinkery have a huge, two-level array of things do do, this Austin favorite also has a host of fun special events. And get this: The Thinkery holds a Parents Night Out. Yes. That’s right. You drop the rugrats off, and then you go have fun exploring Mueller.

The next Parents’ Night Out is planned for Friday, July 12. A Childrens’ exclusive evening at the Thinkery is appropriate for kiddos aged four and up who are potty trained. During the evening, they can live it up with a delicious pizza dinner, some educational and fun hands-on STEAM activities, as well as some exploration around the museum.

The Thinkery has put together some ideas for your night out, so you don’t even have to do the work of investigating where to go or what to do in Austin. Below are some special benefits offered by the community of Mueller during the Parents’ Night Out evening.
