Where Families Gather in the Hill Country
In Dripping Springs, weekends are for connection — and Belterra Village is one of the best places for families to gather, play, and explore. Located right along Highway 290 near Nutty Brown Road, Belterra Village has become a local favorite for families who want to enjoy a full day of shopping, dining, and entertainment without venturing far from home.
It’s the kind of place where kids can laugh, parents can relax, and everyone finds something they love. Whether you’re running errands, grabbing lunch after soccer practice, or planning a family movie night, Belterra Village blends small-town charm with big-city convenience — all in one vibrant, walkable setting.
Start the Day with Breakfast and Smiles
Every great family outing starts with something delicious. Kick things off at Summer Moon Coffee, where parents can enjoy their signature “moon milk” lattes while kids sip on hot chocolate or a steamer. The laid-back atmosphere and friendly baristas make it a perfect morning stop before a busy day.
If your family prefers a sit-down breakfast, The League Kitchen & Tavern opens early on weekends and offers hearty options like pancakes, breakfast tacos, and chicken-and-waffle plates that even the pickiest eaters love. The patio is shaded and comfortable — ideal for soaking up those cool Hill Country mornings.
Kid-Friendly Shops and Stops
Belterra Village has plenty of stops that make errands easier and more enjoyable for families. Parents can stock up on essentials at Pet Supplies Plus for their four-legged family members or swing by Specs for weekend cookout supplies.
While you’re out, check out Bath & Body Works for seasonal scents (kids love picking out their own hand soaps and mini sanitizers!) or visit Marshalls for back-to-school clothes, toys, and fun home finds.
And for those afternoons when it’s time for a haircut, Sport Clips inside the Village makes it quick and easy for dad and the kids to freshen up while mom explores the nearby boutiques.
Lunch Spots the Whole Family Will Love
When lunchtime rolls around, Belterra Village shines with its variety of casual and family-friendly restaurants.
-
Hat Creek Burger Co. is a family favorite — not just for the burgers, but for the outdoor playground that keeps kids entertained while parents relax on the patio. It’s a local go-to for stress-free dining and great community vibes.
-
Torchy’s Tacos offers a more adventurous take on lunch, serving up creative taco combinations and queso that’s become a Dripping Springs must-try. Their kid’s menu and fast service make it perfect for families on the go.
-
Sky Asian Fusion is another fantastic choice for families who love sushi or noodles, offering a bright, open space and a variety of dishes for all tastes.
No matter what your crew is craving, you’ll find something delicious — and convenient — within steps of each other.
Afternoon Adventures and Entertainment
One of the biggest draws for families at Belterra Village is Sky Cinemas Dripping Springs. This locally loved movie theater offers comfortable reclining seats, a full food and drink menu, and a welcoming atmosphere perfect for all ages. Catch the latest animated release or enjoy a matinee on a rainy day — it’s a hit every time.
After the movie, stop for dessert at Marble Slab Creamery. Let the kids pick their favorite flavors and mix-ins while you enjoy a sweet treat together under the string lights. It’s simple, classic fun — and exactly the kind of memory that makes family time special.
Events & Community Happenings
Belterra Village is more than a shopping center — it’s a community hub that hosts family-oriented events throughout the year. From holiday pop-ups and outdoor movie nights to seasonal festivals and local vendor markets, there’s always something happening to bring families together.
Keep an eye on event boards and social media pages for updates — these gatherings often include live music, food trucks, and kid-friendly activities that make weekends in Dripping Springs feel extra festive.
Health, Wellness & Family Essentials
Busy families appreciate how easy Belterra Village makes it to take care of everyday needs in one place. Stop by VisionWorks for an eye exam, AT&T to upgrade a phone plan, or Restore Hyper Wellness for a well-deserved parent recharge.
And if you’re in need of a quick reset, Hand & Stone Massage or OrangeTheory Fitness offer ways to sneak in a little “me time” between errands — because keeping up with family life is a full-time job in itself!
