The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, located at the University of Texas at Austin, is a Frommer's exceptionally rated attraction in Austin. This "lovely, colorful complex" is home to a little under 180 acres of wildflowers for the "study and preservation" of the area's "native plants." One of the "display gardens" is made just to attract butterflies. There are free guided tours available on the weekends, as well as a gift shop and visitors center.Frommer's: Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower CenterMusic Festivals
