What To Expect

The adventure begins near the Capitol building and takes you on a well-designed course among historic monuments, the streets of Austin, great artwork, historic hotels, and other locations that help keep Austin unique. The tour requires approximately 2.5 miles of walking with numerous stops along the route to complete challenges and decipher clues. The game software tracks team points and posts the final score to a city leader board for those with a competitive edge.

Using your smart phone as 'the guide' allows participants to start when they want and determine their own pace of play, leaving time to stop for some Austin cuisine or simply enjoy the scenery. This activity is great for families, friends, and those ready to have fun while seeing the city!

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
