Directions to Zilker Botantical Garden Austin: Zilker Botanical Gardens are located near Mopac on Barton Springs Road.

From IH-35: Head towards downtown and exit Riverside Drive (just south of Town Lake) and go west.   Follow Riverside Drive until it intersects with Barton Springs Road and turn right.   Follow Barton Springs Road past Lamar Blvd and Robert E. Lee.  The enteric for Zilker Botanical Gardens will be on your right just past Stratford. 

From Mopac: It's kind of tricky to reach Barton Springs Road from Mopac.  From the north head downtown and exit Bee Caves Road (a.k.a FM 2244) and do the U-turn so that you're going the other way on the feeder road.  From the South, exit Bee Caves Road, but stay on the feeder.  The feeder will turn into Barton Springs Road and the entrance for Zilker Botanical Gardens will be on your left just as the feeder road curves into Barton Springs Road.
