    Lakeway Learning Center

    Explore the Lakeway Learning Center. Arrive right when it opens at 09:30 to beat the crowds. Wander through the indoor courtyard and the Adventurarium, looking for the whisper dishes and the interactive CAT scan display. The center is free to enter.

    Albertsons

    Grab a ready-to-go sushi roll from the deli at Albertsons. It is the only supermarket in town with a sushi maker on site. The seafood section is a local favorite, though prices are on the higher side. You have until 23:00 to shop.

    Sage Bluffs Park

    Walk to Sage Bluffs Park. It is just a short five-minute walk from your starting area. Find a quiet spot on the grass to enjoy your sushi while you wait for the sun to begin its descent.
