Austin Kiddie Limits 2026
Zilker Park, Austin, TX — October 02, October 03, October 04, October 09, October 10, October 11
Family activity zone — not a booked music lineup
What it actually is
Austin Kiddie Limits is ACL's dedicated kids zone at Zilker Park, free for children 8 and under with a ticketed adult, running 12-6pm each day of both weekends. It's an activity area, not a booked music lineup: art and play stations, a hip-hop workshop, airbrush tattoos, a rock star photo booth, a drum zone, coloring and craft stations, festival hairstyling, family services, and free frozen pops, plus a Tag-Your-Kid safety program for anyone who wants a wristband with a parent's phone number on it.
