Fresh Air and Fun at Austin’s Fortlandia

Three Cheers for Lady Bird Johnson! After what feels like eons being stuck inside during Covid-19, the LBJ Wildflower Center is offering visitors the chance to unwind with some outdoor bliss with their annual Fortlandia exhibit.

This special botanical garden and arboretum is located at Austin’s very own University of Texas and features more than 900 species of native Texas plants. This area of Austin is, pardon the pun, ripe with opportunities for curious and academic-minded residents to explore and encourage a sense of scholarly wonder in their families. For members of the apartment community, I find that residents just outside in the Highland Park Court area have an easier time coming over without much traffic. Members of the East Riverside area such as residents in Treehouse Apartments will also find that the commute is fairly painless as well. Of course, students commuting from the University of Texas at Austin in Downtown Austin might naturally have a lot more of a traffic hassle in reaching the center but they’ll still find it a pretty easygoing experience overall. Austin is far less daunting than Houston when it comes to traffic and the city’s more relaxed atmosphere is probably a testament to its overall convenience.

The LBJ Wildflower Center’s Fortlandia is an amazing opportunity to really have some fun in the great outdoors after being cooped up for so long. At this amazing exhibit, guests can view a collection of custom-designed forts as well as build their own. You can also trek along the one-mile trail among the native oaks and natural trees, swing on tree swings, and explore the wide-open spaces of beautiful treeside scenery. It’s a great experience for singles and families alike and I can’t recommend it enough. For all you nature-lovers, this is an experience you just can’t miss!

Got to spend the afternoon at #fortlandia with 3 of my favorite people. We are so lucky to live so close to the @wildflowercenter. I may have spent a little while on that swing. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqEO7SolPED/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mj0rxwl3q9k0

Fortlandia is dead. Rest in peace our dear blanket fort. We will rebuild in your honor.

This is what happens when your cast decides to turn the living room into a pillow fort/maze. #fortlandia (at The Ritz)
