Kid (and baby)-friendly Austin ideas?

[hornian]

My gf's aunt and uncle are coming into town, with kids in tow. They range from 5 to about a year old. What kind of stuff is good for them? Maybe the wildflower center? Isn't there a petting zoo or something? I have no idea, all I know about are "grown up" things.

EDIT: Oh, and I don't mean just kid stuff. I meant things that the parents can do and have a good time, but that are baby-safe as well.

-- the train at Zilker Park
-- Austin Zoo (290 past the "Y" to Circle to Rawhide)
-- Waterloo Ice House @ 360/2222 (playscape + usual burgers, etc.)

Thanks JJ. I've also updated the original query a bit.

I think teaching kids the value of a days work and also being in the outdoors is a wonderful thing to do. I know of a place in central Austin that they could play in leaves, put them in bags. They can also pull up weeds which works on their hand to eye coordination.

I can arrange it to where they don't have to pay and water is even bottled and provided. Let me know.
