Round Rock Is More Than Just an Austin Suburb
If you live in Round Rock—or are visiting from Austin, Cedar Park, or Georgetown—there's actually a lot to do here that doesn't require a 45-minute drive downtown. Here are our family-tested favorites.
1. HiBeads Studio — Pixel Art & Fused Beads
We're obviously biased, but here's why families keep coming back: it's an air-conditioned indoor activity where the whole family can create together. Guided workshops are $50/person (ages 6–11 on Sundays, ages 12+ on Saturdays), and self-guided Open Studio reservations start at $14.99/hr for members, $17.99/hr for non-members for ages 5+.
