Rodeo Austin is a great fun activity for the whole family. There are tons of family events held out there every year. There are pony rides, a cow milking demonstration, petting zoo (goats, deer, wallabies, zebra, etc.), pig races, a carnival, etc. There is every kind of food imaginable...most of it fried. The only problem is that a full day of the rodeo will cost you major $$$. We probably spent $200 for a family of 4 to get in the gate, the kids to get passes to ride all the rides they wanted and to eat lunch. It was fun though!!!
