Good to know

By the numbers for this age in Austin: 138 dated listings in the next 60 days; 121 of the 138 listings with a start time begin before noon — this age runs on mornings; the busiest single venue is Central Library with 33 of them.

On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Austin's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.

Rainy-day fallback: most of this age's listings in Austin run indoors at Central Library — warm, dry, and built for short attention spans.

Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?

It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.

What's free for toddlers in Austin?

None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
