Have a memorable, stress-free bachelor(ette) party with these 4 fun ideas in Austin, Texas.
Take a relaxing ride down the river on a tube. It's not white water rafting and requires no skill. In fact, the river is shallow in most parts and since you have an inflatable tube with you, you don't even need to be a strong swimmer. Floating usually takes about 2-4 hours. Drink some beers and be merry with your best friends.
Highlights:
You could do the typical 6th street bar crawl, but you'd be missing out on touring one of the nation's top cities (1, 2) for beer. Austin is home to several breweries and tons of bars that love to sell local beer. The easiest (and most fun) way to check out a lot of our favorite breweries is on the Twisted Texas Brew Bus. This wild ride takes you to three of Austin's best craft breweries, with a live band rocking out on board the BYOB bus along the way.
Highlights:
Your friends back home may not believe you were in Texas without a photo of you and your friends shooting guns in boots and cowboy hats. Make a game out of it with skeet shooting. Clay targets fly into the air and you skillfully shoot them down. Or just spend some time on the range with pistols, shotguns and rifles. Here in Texas you can shoot a semi-automatic AR-15 or AK-47. Red's Indoor Range is the only range in city limits due to being granfathered in before regulations on shooting guns were passed. Also, no skeet shooting here due to being indoors. For an outdoor experience a little farther from the city center, we recommend Lone Star Gun Range in Lockhart, TX.
Highlights:
Nothing says Texas like a giant plate of mouth-watering BBQ. Brisket, ribs, sausage - Austin has it all. The Salt Lick is BYOB and has both indoor and outdoor seating. The all-you-can-eat option lets you try as much as you want of all the meats and side dishes. If you're already in Lockhart to shoot guns, you could also check out (the non-BYOB) Black's Barbecue.
