Here are some reviews from our users.

"Earlier this week, I visited the Zilker Holiday Tree in Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. After finishing the Trail of Lights, also in Zilker Park, I drove down Barton Springs and then turned left under MoPac to drive back into Zilker Park. After winding around the park a bit, you arrive at the Zilker Holiday Tree, where there is ample free parking. There are food and clothing vendors onsite as well as picnic tables and Port-A-Pottys. There are many people gathered under the tree just hanging out with their dogs or taking pictures for Instagram. Entrance is free and is definitely a worthwhile Austin, Texas holiday tradition."

"I love this tree. U take my kids every year at least one or 2 times to get some pictures. God bless yll who work hard to make this happen.. ❤"

"This is the best holiday tree in Austin. The moonlight tower holds the lights extremely well. We've been going to the tree for decades!! The high winds do not affect them much and the light bulbs are long lasting, you don't see any of them going out. There's plenty of parking on the lots adjacent to the tree and some of it is close to the tree on the parking lots down the road and on the fields as well, you will walk a little bit but that's okay you need to lose weight. There are vendors selling foods and Crafts and the grounds are in good condition. There is an easy entrance from Mopac (Remember you have to take the winding road around the park as soon as you drive in) and a super easy entrance from Barton springs but remember the city shuts down the entrance during the trail of lights around 5pm so you can't turn into the tree as you travel west to Mopac so you can only use the entrance that leads to the parking lot that leads to the pool.. canoes..etc.. it's a bit confusing but you'll figure it out.. that's part of the fun 😁... anyway enjoy your time and get trashed on hot chocolate 🤯 oh and don't forget to do the mandatory spin under the tree.. it'll make you throw up.. that's part of the fun as well🤢...hehehe"

"Lovely spot for a huge Christmas Tree. Everyone was having fun from adults to kids. Everyone was trying to go in circles under tree and"

"Awesome lighting and decoration every year. Starting point for the trail of lights is at Stratford drive. I see there is some difficulty in identifying the starting point. I am adding the details I got here - hope it helps From Mopac exit at lake austin boulevard , go to redbud trail from there goto stratford drive"
