Answer the questions on the feedback form after each stop while the experience is still fresh.
After you submit your response, we will send you an invitation to the thank-you party. Save the date for June 16 from 4-6 pm.
We recommend taking the tour in the morning before it gets too hot!

We also recommend a swim suit to jump in the springs after you take the tour!

This tour is generously sponsored by the Powell Foundation.

Here are a few things to consider while providing feedback:

We did not give our placeholder voice a pronunciation guide nor did we do more than one take. So, please excuse any errors. These will be corrected in the final cut. Your feedback should focus on content and mapping.
For this tour, we had a character limit for each story. Therefore, we had to make tough decisions on what to include and what not to include. When the tour is launched, it will be accompanied with a link to a complete historical timeline of Zilker Park where visitors can go for more detailed information as well as many stories not included on the tour.
On the app, the black square- when live-will show a transcript and the photos will line up with the corresponding text. But for now, it’s a blank space and the photos are flipping through.
