Dog Days


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 07/14/2019
We love those wagging tails and slobbery tongues, so we’ve carved out a weekend for paws + plants. Grab your canine bestie and head our way for fun, fur-baby-friendly activities.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Saturday, July 13, and Sunday, July 14
9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

We have a lot of natural groundcover, soft turf grass and gravel trails that won’t be as hot on your pup’s paws as roads and sidewalks, but please plan your day with your pet’s health in mind. Richard’s Rainwater is sponsoring onsite doggy hydration stations.

Humans: regular admission (members get in free)
Dogs: $5 per pup (members and non-members; part of each dog admission will go to support Divine Canines and Austin Humane Society)

Hap-paw-nings:

Wildflower Café will host a pop-up in the Courtyard with with snow cones (for humans) and pupcup snowcones!

  • 7:30 – 9 a.m.Member mornings. Members, bring your dog for an early, peaceful stroll!
