Coach Bus Rentals in Austin, Texas

Zilker Park is one of Austin’s most popular outdoor destinations, and it’s easy to see why. This 350-acre park is home to the Zilker Botanical Garden, the Austin Nature & Science Center, and Barton Springs Pool—a three-acre, spring-fed swimming hole that stays around 68 degrees year-round. Your group can also enjoy picnic areas, playgrounds, and sports fields, or catch a show at the Zilker Hillside Theater. During the holidays, don’t miss the Trail of Lights, a spectacular display that draws visitors from across the state. Parking can be limited during major events like ACL Fest, so renting a coach bus is a convenient way to get your group to and from the park without the hassle.
