J. Lorraine, TX. Ghost Town Austin

"Very cool place to take kids and they have a fully indoor restaurant too!"

"Such a cute place to stop. The entry was free. There is a fun (but old and partially collapsing) mine maze. Replicas of different shops and professions. Definitely worth a stop and look around."

"My son and I took a trip out to this place on a whim this Saturday evening. The location has a ton of small places to explore and see. Somebody had hired the big main hall for a Christmas party, and were kind enough to let us take a peek inside. All the people we met there were really nice. We walked around the site, took some photos and then finished off the day at the main saloon. We both had burgers and fries (which were really good). Admission is free, and it's impressive that the place was mostly constructed by a singular person. Well worth a visit."

"So the ghost town is referring to deserted, not haunted, just for clarification. Typically they offer free admission on weekends that they're not doing events (which is rare) and it's a self paced walk on your own. There's no tour guide, but the owner does walk around and he's super friendly, and there's a place to eat/drink and it's pretty good pricing. You can get 2 burgers 2 fries/tots, 2 soft drinks for $16 and it's grilled outside. I'd recommend if you're looking for something to do just sucks that Texas is so hot during the summer. A lot of the buildings you can walk into and check things out, some are just an outside shell for safety, but overall I really enjoyed it."

"Others have talked a lot about this place and they are all correct. The owner is amazing, the admission is free, the staff are friendly and welcoming and the place is really cool. I am just going to note a few things you should know: 1 - The food is good - greasy but good 2 - 1/4 lb is enough! Stop second guessing, its enough 3 - Expect nails and supervise kids - This place is homemade and not safe enough to let young kids run free. NO ONE is going to tell you NOT to walk on that "iffy" looking structure; Safety is up to you. 4 - The "church' is awesome but sometimes in use by private party's. 5 - Check the website for events 6 - If you are stopping by for the afternoon, expect an hour or two if you want to see it all and do the maze. Thank you George for creating such a unique place to spend time with family picturing what the 'west' looked like! It may not be tomorrow land, but you created something that will stay with us for a long time! Please don't stop building."
