The Biggest Christmas Tree in Town
This is a must-see attraction. Step inside this dazzling tree and look up in amazement. This is a sacred Austin tradition that simply should not be missed. It is a 155-foot Zilker Holiday tree, a massive 380 feet wide, has a 10-foot star, and 3,309 lights that would make any night club envious. This is a sight worth seeing.
