As one of Austin's finest attractions, Barton Springs Pool is the perfect outing for those hot Texas days—or even the cool ones. Maintaining a comfortable 68 degrees Fahrenheit year 'round, you will enjoy a 100-percent natural swimming experience with no chlorine. The grassy hillsides and moss-covered rocks are perfect for sunbathing. Diving boards, concession stands and restroom facilities are also available. When the kids get tired of the water, enjoy the playscape to complete the afternoon. Lifeguards are on duty. You are encouraged to call ahead; the pool occasionally closes. This place is open from Monday to Wednesday at 5am and from Friday to Sunday at 5am.
