Wheelchair Friendly Site Seeing Areas in Austin and Surrounding Areas (Spring: rent, homes)

[craftsie]

My parents are visiting from Florida and I would love to take them to see the beauty of outdoors, but everyplace I can think of seems like they are not wheelchair accessible.
Do you have any ideas of where I can take them to experience the outdoors in Austin or surrounding areas?
I don't mind a far drive...

Not really "the outdoors" but the national park service does put a priority on accessibility: https://www.nps.gov/lyjo/planyourvis...essibility.htm

Inner Space Caverns maybe? The first part is a pretty steep hill, but the whole tour is a paved path plenty wide enough for a wheelchair in my not-so-expert opinion.

Johnson City and the LBJ homestead (part of the NPS), Lake Austin/LadyBird Lake, have brunch at the Four Seasons and sit outside and view the lake, I've seen wheelchairs at Mayfield Park (the one with the peacocks),

oh, and the Wildflower Center in s. Austin. Not too pretty right now, but wait a few months and things will be blooming

Ditto... Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail and Boardwalk at Lady Bird Lake | AustinTexas.gov - The Official Website of the City of Austin The boardwalk that goes out into the lake is lots of fun.

I 2nd the Lady Bird Wildflower center. I may be strange, but I think it is pretty in the winter/fall but WAY better in a couple months when Spring hits
