Another highlight is the Zilker Zephyr train that chugs through the park daily. It’s and inexpensive and fun way to see more of the park. I did this recently with my family and we all enjoyed the experience.

Known for it’s live music, food trailers, outdoor activities, local shops, top festivals, technology and thriving economy — the list goes on and on.

But my friend did have one important question on her mind: “Is it a good place to raise kids, too?”
