Culture
Round Rock Honey
To do something way out of the ordinary, head to Round Rock Honey and sign up for a beekeeping class. Youll learn all about these buzzing buddies and even get a chance to harvest honey straight from the hive. If you arent up for a class, at least go for a honey tasting. Its amazing how many different flavors can happen when bees collect pollen from different plants.
Main Street Round Rock
For some history, head downtown to Main Street. This collection of historic buildings hasnt changed much in 100 years… and thats a good thing! You can even retrace the final shootout of infamous outlaw Sam Bass.
Hairy Man Road
If youre looking for a scare, then theres another road to visit Hairy Man Road which some say is haunted by the ghost of an old hermit who still doesnt like people traveling through his claim. You’ll have to check it out for yourself to find out if the legend is true…
Round Rock Express Game at the Dell Diamond
Finally, for a truly American form of entertainment, head to The Dell Diamond to take in a Round Rock Express game. This is the best minor league baseball experience in America. There is a big hill for blankets, fireworks on Friday nights, and so much to do that you might actually forget youre at a baseball game. Dont miss the Nolan Ryan Beef hot dogs. I recommend a Big Kahuna complete with mango salsa.
Food
Round Rock Donuts
Every day spent in Round Rock should start at Round Rock Donuts. Im not sure what yellowy-orangey-addictive material they put in these, but MAN are they good. If youre hungry go for a Texas Donut the size of a spare tire…and if your diet asks how many donuts you ate for breakfast, you can confidently say ONE!
The Blind Squirrel Sandwiches
Unfortunately, the Blind Squirrel has closed since we filmed this episode.
Outdoors
Old Settlers Park
To get sporty, all the locals head to Old Settlers Park. This giant park is full of fields for everything from baseball, to football, to cricket, to kite flying. There are bike paths and disc golf courses.
The ACTUAL Round Rock
Another great spot is Brushy Creek Park, where you can see the literal ROUND ROCK after which the town got its name, and see the deep groves in the limestone from when wagons and stagecoaches used to forge the river.
