Every “weird Austin” list on the internet has this listed despite the fact that it’s been closed for years.

That is supposed to open in 2021 according to this article. 56) The Austin Weird Homes Tour Where/When: Usually the second weekend in April in Pease District Park. Was held on 29th April in 2023.
