The Contemporary Austin

Le parc est magnifique, Les gens très sympathiques mais les statues insignifiantes! Heureusement que ma compagne a eu des entrées gratuites avec sa banque....

Lieu paisible et dépaysant

What a beautiful walk at sunset! The sculptures are AWEmazing and the trails and water views, just gorgeous! If you see this review one day, Jenny, thank you for the recommendation. You are such a beautiful person! Thank you for that way too brief but wonderful exchange when we were watching the peacocks. If you have an afternoon to do something in the Austin area, visit this place. You will not be disappointed!

Very nice place! It was a good choice of placement for the lake was just in eye sight. Majority of art there were installations which I like personally the most. My favorite was “Looking Up,” by Tom Friedman which is the pinned tall aluminum man in the fountain area. A lot of the art was in the forest, and it was very relaxing and refreshing to go to an art museum that wasn’t indoors. Overall the experience was amazing, and they have an art school and summer camp for kids 4-17. I would suggest 10 out of 10 great place to go.

October 2024 This was my first visit to the Contemporary Austin at Laguna Gloria and enjoyed it. I loved the walking trails though the woods and along Lake Austin seeing all the artwork in the Betty and Edward Marcus Sculpture Park. I was impressed by all of it including the grounds with the Driscoll Villa, Visitor Center/Shop, Art School and Spread and Co. Café. The only drawback is finding a parking spot along the street since there is no lot on site. However, I did plan my visit by seeing it during the week around lunchtime where easily found a spot and parking is free. It was very relaxing and peaceful felling you were away from the busy Austin city life. The staff was very friendly and like it so much I purchased a membership.

It’s a bit outside the main city so I didn’t know if I’d make it or if it would be worth the look but it must not be missed because it’s such an incredible sculpture park. Takes you through great views of the river and the sculptures themselves are perfectly integrated with gardens or wood trails. The art school on site is also such a pretty building.

Absolutely incredible! I recommend to come on one of the free nights if you get the chance. We were in town for the weekend and found this beautiful gem and managed to get free admission too. Score! The grounds are perfectly manicured and it's generally a mansion on the lake with trails and sculptures everywhere. Think of it as an outdoor art museum.

The Contemporary - Laguna Gloria is an absolutely stunning venue! I recommend this place for my couples all of the time and I am just enamored with every bit of this place. Everywhere you turn there's a picturesque area, and it all photographs so beautifully. I definitely recommended it for your engagement session or wedding day, you will not be disappointed!
