Taking the Kids to X Games Austin 2015 – Schedule & FAQ

We’re not sure who’s more excited about the upcoming X Games around here — the parents or kids? But either way, we’re all so ready for X Games to bring tons of thrills and excitement to Circuit of the Americas Thursday, June 4 through Sunday, June 7! There is plenty of awesome action to appeal to kids of all ages, and this year there are some great improvements planned for families, such as more shady areas, more access to hydration stations, a bigger and better Playground, etc. But as parents, we know you’re not just interested in the overview of activities — you want ALL of the details ahead of time so to ensure that you’re able to plan the ultimate experience (and minimize any potential kid meltdowns, etc.). We get it.

We’re giving away a pair of 3-day passes AND 2 limited edition X Games skate decks! Scroll down this page to enter!

  1. Anyone know from past experience if there Would be enough reasonable space to manuever a stroller around for a toddler on a weekend day?

    • Great question, Lisa! From X Games/ESPN Representative:
      “I would recommend bringing a stroller if they usually utilize one. The venue and established access ways are built to be ADA accessible (i.e. Temporary lifts added where no elevator or ramp exists). We will also have mobi-mat in place where assistance with challenging terrain is deemed necessary (i.e. on walking paths that go over the rocks that surround the track). All of this will support getting strollers around the venue easily, but maneuverability would also be impacted by crowd size – which at times throughout the weekend sees heavy pedestrian traffic.”
