I should've reviewed this sooner but I keep forgetting. I showed up in Austin and couldn't check into my hotel till 4. The Austin Visitor Center safely stored my luggage for 8 dollars while I toured the city. It was such a relief!

Read moreWe stopped here to wait before our Duck Tour, it was a great Visitor Center and really set you up well for what to expect in Austin and the surrounding area. There were brochures for local attractions and destinations as well as friendly staff to help guide you to the best places, should you require their assistance.
