Rock Climbing Indoors at Main Event

Written by Todd Hower | January 15, 2015

Whether you’re a beginner or expert level climber looking for a challenging workout, or just a place to wear the kids out, Main Event has a 9000 square foot rock gym where you can do both. With one of the best setups for an introduction to rock climbing and fairly affordable, it’s worth checking out if you’re looking for a fun indoor activity.

You can start out with all the equipment you need for climbing including shoes and a harness at $8 for a 30 minute session. Or step it up to an hour session for only $2 more. Every Monday, from 4:00pm to close, is the Monday Night Madness special with unlimited climbing for only $9.95.

Lake Travis Area Weekend Events: January 9 –11

Hey Lake Travis, it’s the weekend!

If you’re ready to brave the cold, you can check out the Cyclo-cross National Championships at Zilker Park this weekend. The event promoters have talked about how competitors may not experience the cold and snow of Cyclo-cross Nationals past — but it looks like they will this weekend!

If you need to get out of the house (but not outside in the cold) check out the Austin Boat and Travel Show at the Austin Convention Center this weekend — it will be toasty warm.

And if you just want to stay home and watch movies next to a warm fire, we understand — we don’t live here to deal with ice and snow and cold.

Stay warm Lake Travis!

Just one more weekend left before this holiday season comes to a close. All the gifts have been opened, feasts have been consumed and New Year’s resolutions have been made.

It’s going to be a pretty quiet weekend around the town, but there are still some lights shining and your last chance to ice skate if you’re still feeling a little festive and need a break from taking down all the Christmas decorations.

Happy New Year and enjoy the weekend starting today!

We are heading into the final weekend before Christmas!

If you’re like most of us, you probably have a few more gifts to grab. Be sure and check out the Shop & Drop with MyTime Kids Gym if you need a few hours of shopping without the little ones. And when you have everything wrapped up and you’re looking for something to do, check out the weekend events going on in and around the Lake Travis area.

If you want to feel like it’s winter here in Austin, head over to the Omni Barton Creek Resort for ice skating or catch the last snow day of the year at the Hill Country Galleria.

It looks like the rain will be tapering off and we’ll have a sunny weekend. Enjoy this beautiful place we get to call home!

December is a month filled with holiday celebrations and traditions. A favorite local tradition is evident as hundreds of trees that line our roadways and neighborhood streets get decorated with a variety of ornaments, garland, sports paraphernalia and other creations that brighten up our drive.

There are plenty of reasons to get out on the road this weekend and check out some of the holiday events and traditions in and around the Lake Travis area.

This festive weekend is filled with everything from holiday concerts to the Vandegrift Vipers competing against Temple in the state semifinals at the Alamodome this Saturday. Once again, there is snow in the forecast with another snow day at the Hill Country Galleria on Sunday. Looking ahead to next week is the start of the 39th Annual Armadillo Christmas Bazaar on Tuesday, December 16.

Our beautiful town is getting decked out in its holiday best so head on out there and enjoy it!
