Ride the Slide or Float the Lazy River at Rock’N River Family Aquatic Center

June 28, 2016 by

Within Round Rock's popular Old Settlers Park resides the Rock'N River Family Aquatic Center, a beloved local attraction in its own right. The sprawling water park boasts more than 40,000 square feet of splashy fun, making it the perfect spot to cool off on a sweltering Texas day.

The playground promises refreshing fun for everyone in your clan with its many different rides and slides. Take a leisurely float down the Lazy River if your companions include smaller kids, or splash around at the pool. Children can rush through the tunnel showers and get soaked in the process or shoot a water cannon toward an unsuspecting playmate. Even older kids will appreciate a trip to Rock'N River Family Aquatic Center thanks to its collection of snaking slides, which send riders hurtling toward a big splash.

February 9, 2016 by

So beers come fresh from the brew room, and you're welcome to sample any of them before deciding on just one. There are nine house-brewed beers available, plus 38 more on tap.

Order one as soon as you sit down in one of the stadium "dining rooms." A server will stroll up to grab your drink request, then step back and let you look over the menu. Pizzas, salads, burgers, and even tacos are offered, not to mention decadent desserts such as bourbon pecan pie and warm peach galettes. Dig into your food and sip your brews while you watch the first-run movie splashed across the screen.

Fresh Seafood and Cold Drafts at Deckhand Oyster Bar

July 9, 2013 by

Next time you want to go out to watch the big game, consider Deckhand Oyster Bar in Round Rock. This casual bar is a great place to kick back with a pitcher of beer and a group of friends.  The menu features fresh, casual seafood favorites like fried catfish and crawfish poboys.  Oysters are shucked in front of you, and served on the half shell.  Regulars love the gumbo!  There are several Asian items on the menu too – like tom yum soup, a sweet and sour seafood soup with a little kick. If you order oysters, try the thai sauce, which is a unique complement to their mild flavor. Prices are reasonable and get even lower during happy hour from 3-6 p.m.  The Deckhand serves beer in frosted mugs, but don’t expect craft brews – it’s mostly American favorites. The Thai Tea is a tasty non-alcoholic alternative.
