31 Best Stops Between Spring and Katy (2024)

6 lists

It's a good way to cool down on a hot day. The slides are fun, the lines were not long and it was a nice water sport experience. The areas are kept clean and sanitary by the attendants and there is enough covered areas for varying family sizes

It's a great place to spend the summer with your kids. The staff is so sweet the price is very good I bought season passes for 11 & it was cheaper than any other water park plus this one is closer to home you can bring your own food & drinks. Like I said great place to spend your summer.

First time there today. Kids had fun. They have an awesome team in the infirmary room. Will be going back. Hopefully we dnt have to go to the infirmary room :)

The place is great! They sell food, ice cream, and Raspas. The price is $25 Monday through Thursday. We had a

Kids had fun. Not too crowded. No long lines to get on slides.. Water was NOT clean and crisp. Employees were very nice!

I want to remember this issue: It's been 1 week and 2 days since I haven't received a refund for my cooler pass at the park. There's no way to contact them. I was told it would take 2 to 3 business days, but I haven't seen the refund yet.Before COVID, my family and I used to visit the park early in the morning. It was nice, and there were long lines of happy people. However, during our recent visit, we noticed changes due to COVID. Now, I understand why there are shorter lines.Here are the issues we encountered:1. Cooler passes and registration: We needed cooler passes to bring a cooler, but there are specific size requirements. Each pass cost $21.65. We had to buy two passes for coolers that were barely the required size. We were lucky to find one spare cooler that met the size requirement. When I asked for a refund for one of the passes, I was told it would take 2-3 business days.2. Food and drink restrictions: We were asked to keep all food and drink in iceboxes, bags, and zipped bags. As we were entering, they told us that water and bread needed to be in the cooler, so we had to squeeze everything into a small cooler.3. Reserved tables: It was difficult to find a table, as many were reserved and not public seating. We had to separate from our family to find public tables. Eventually, we found 3 tables near the tube slides. To reserve an area, you have to pay $450, as you can't buy a table.4. Fees for items from unattended coolers: If you had to leave your cooler in the car, you could go out, but if you brought something from the unattended cooler, you were charged.Despite these issues, the park itself was still enjoyable and had the same rides and size, but the tables had been rearranged.

Yall these ppl right here accused somebody of talking to a 16yr old they lied they seen all use black African American deep coming to have fun don’t waste yall money coming here they don’t want the blacks to have fun we literally spent $1500 with them they was complaining about our cooler they had all the Hispanic with coolers and had us blacks with bags they don’t want us blacks there. Racism is there they shut the whole water park down just too get us out.

We always have a great time here. It is a small park but it’s honestly perfect for a family outing during the summer. They have plenty of slide, a lazy river, wave pool, kids areas, toddler areas, and lots of covered seating. The price is perfect. The biggest downfall is the restrooms. The restrooms are almost always dirty. Also we like the fact that we can take in our own food. Even though the concession stand is not too over priced it is a bit unorganized so the service takes a bit longer then it should. But these things have not stopped us from going.

Loved this place! Small enough you won't get lost and big enough to have fun. Plenty of lifeguards. You can bring your own cooler. 20.00 Small one. No glass containers! No strollers and no big umbrellas. But, while you are waiting in line for it to open, you may need one. So make sure it is small that it can go in your bag. Everything is searched. No smoking of any kind inside park. Have fun!

It's that time of the year when the weather is 🔥 hot and all the clothes come off. This not my first time, but my first review of the park. Get there early if you can so you can get a good table or seats. The other option is to pay for a Cabana (I did that) so you don't have worry about getting good seats and a table for food/drinks. The Cabana runs about $310 but it comes with 8 tickets so you do the math. Right now it's open ONLY on the weekends! but it's going to open during the week very soon! Make sure you try the Ninja Cross obstacle course! It feels really good to be able too enjoy the water park again!

Great little waterpark. The water in the lazy river is about 3 feet 6 inches tall, making it ideal for children. The wave pool goes up to 5 feet. This water park is small, but children and teenagers will love it. There are attractions for all! I love coming here. Bring your own food; no glass containers or personal life vests are permitted (provided by the facility). If you decide you want to buy a snack at the park, I recommend the funnel fries in different flavors; they are good!

The water park was so fun and relaxing. The pro is water area for kids is pretty fun. They like the water falls when it DINGS at kid area. Lazy River doesn’t go out of style. The Wave pool area is towards the back side, and that was fun for awhile. Some of the rides are fun such as the FLOW RIDER and the gym aquatics for kids. Highly recommend that for The smaller kiddos. Another pro is the small pizza boxes are not that expensive if you were to forget to bring food. Btw, you can bring your own food and drinks! The Con is that the price for the water park is a little too high. It’s a small park for a expensive entrance here. Maybe Senor citizen discount? My grandpa wanted to go in but not swim. Wasn’t a option. And kids ages 3 - 8 like $10 or something. You must come early enough to get good seating. The food area that is BBQ is not ready at all. More like 1pm. But the other snack area has stuff available. It does get crowded by 1pm so expect long lines on water rides and the lazy River will get full. Other than that, we’ll come back next season and hopefully better prices. I would have gave high rating. Still a good place. Nice lifeguards.

Where do I start. Disaster! I paid a $20 cooler fee to bring in my own cooler. Nowhere on my contract or receipt does it say that the cooler has to be 48 quart or less! Mine was a 52 qt. I had to take it back to my car and spend so much money on drinks inside. Then, we were escorted to our private cabana( which is NO cabana at all... just a large umbrella with 2 sleeper lounges and a table with 4 chairs. No fan, no couch and no wait staff. 47 minutes in line to order some disgusting chicken tenders and burned mozzarella sticks. Avoid going out here at all costs. Typhoon Texas in Katy is a MUCH better option.

Excelent! it is a wonderful water park , with water slides, waves pool, lazy river. It is awesome for kids and adults, even my 8th months baby enjoyed the park. The only suggestion I have you have to come early because it gets full during holidays! I love it! 🧡

Lots of cool slides but the 2 biggest weren't working. The lazy river was nice and relaxing until too many people got there. I wish there was somebody telling the crazy kids /teenagers how to behave since they're parents haven't.

A very clean inexpensive Waterpark. Purchase tickets online less expensive.Pay a 20.00 fee to bring in your cooler with food and drinks.Had a wonderful time🤗

The only complaint I have is that ticket prices are higher on the weekends. I somehow missed this fact when looking them up. It would have been helpful to know that in advance, instead of at the gate. Other than that, great place.

They used to have a fantastic season pass now it’s way too expensive for what they are offering. Wait time is ridiculous. It gets 100 degrees hot and they only allow you 1 water or else you have to pay $20 to bring more water. It’s gone from a charming place to a cash grab!!!!!

Small Waterpark in Baytown. Had a good time with the family. Have babydays twice a month to bring small kids. Gets the job done. It's hot in TX and great they open the park early for smaller children.

We went to this park for the first time about two weeks ago. IT WAS AMAZING! The price to enter was just right at $25.00 a person. There is plenty of fun to be had by all. They have a lazy river, small slides for the kids, and big to really big for the thrill seekers. We stayed most of the day and had a blast. We are looking forward to going again soon. Oh, I forgot to mention, you are allowed to bring ice chests into the park. I can't say enough good things about this water park...from the rides to the people, the experience was great. I highly recommend going and seeing it for yourself.

Fisrt time, the water park is very nice. I will recommend buy the tickets online, I could not because the system had an issues. I bought them at the entrance .... My luck the person who help me her equipment wasn't working I have to re do line :/ that did not make me happy..... After that we had a great time in the park. Live guardian were very attentive at the pool and keep everyone safe. You can bring food and non alcoholic drinks but the bottle has to be closed nothing open and no food from fast places as pizza. You can eat them but has to be out side the water park and when you are done you can come back in. Was a good experience, I will come back

Went on weekday and weekend. Definitely recommend during the week. Paid 170 for weekday and almost 240 for weekend (3 adults 2 kids)Then they over charged us cause their system didn't print the tickets so re-scanned it and sure enough it's on the statement. My kids Definitely enjoyed it tho. An hopefully we get our money back asap.

Be aware….for Little Bitty Beach Party event…..we have come to this the past two summers and very excited this year. Always bought tickets at gate. Drove 1 hr and 15 min to get here with 4 yr old and 3 1/2 month old to be turned away. They were at full capacity which no where in advertisement says limited number. Talked to supervisor and “nothing they could do”. Others were upset it took an hour just to get into the gate. If you decide to go….purchase online and get there super early to be first at gate. Hope this helps.We really are grateful for this event and no other waterpark does this. Sad we had this experience when we love it here. Hope there is better organization in the future.

Clean, well-maintained facilities and friendly animals. The train was a hit as was the pile of sand. Not huge but we’ve paid more for less at other, similar attractions. Great place for a kids’ birthday party.

I love coming to this place with my kids. My kids have so much fun and they are now much more bigger than earlier. They have slides and a sandpit and swings. I like it now even more train ride is so good. The pony ride is awesome too there is no extra charge for pony ride or train. It’s all included plus, you can buy some snacks and ice cream at the counter. The ladies that work at the counter are very nice and helpful, very sweet staff my kids have so much fun. I love all the animals. It’s huge so even if it is crowded it actually doesn’t look crowded because it is huge place. I simply love this thank you so much.

Cute little attraction. Great for birthday parties. The petting zoo is small but nice. We loved the goats and deer. Feed is $2.00 a bag. There's also a large sand pile for children to play in and a few different swing sets and slides. The only downside is that there isn't any real shaded areas unless you're part of a party renting a gazebo

This was a fun place to take the kids for Fall-time fun. Admission was $16.80 for adults and children, and each child got a free pumpkin with their admission. We spent about 2 hours here, but we could have spent longer if we had waited in line for the pony rides and train ride. Everyone enjoyed time with the animals, the playgrounds were fun, and there were plenty of picnic tables. There were some super cute photo ops, too.Parking wasn't horrible and was well managed. The line for entry wasn't bad and went super quick.Overall, it was exactly what we expected of this experience and made for a fun activity.

Staff was great, the animals well behaved, 😂 the pavilion was great. All was great, our guest were very impressed with the place, many interested in having their next gatherings there. 5+ stars. Best part of all, we were near the donkey pen and he would "laugh" along with us. Couple of times it he hawed at us at the correct time after something funny said or done.had as all laughing. Oh and the wandering rooster, our city kids had fun. They loved feeding all the animals.

This was a great outing for my autistic grandson. Though engaging with the animals was not a favorite, he loved the pony 🐎 ride, park equipment and train 🚂. This is a great place for children, teens, and adults who love animals. Great props for photos, and much more ❤️

My girlfriend's nephew had he's 2nd birthday party here. First time being here. Never thought I would ever step foot in this place, but it's so much bigger then I thought of. Yes , there's animals galore here. But there's so many enteractive events that you and your kids can do here. Volleyball, pool, swings, play in the sand. It's definitely open my eyes to be here and might have many more small kid parties to come.

We had a great time feeding and petting all the animals! And my daughter had her first horse riding experience on the pony rides and she absolutely LOVED it! And we finished our trip off with a little train ride around the farm. It was an awesome experience for my daughter. We all enjoyed it very much!

Great place for kids and adults!They offer train rides round the farm...You can pet and feed the animals...Play on the sand duneAnd picnicThere is a pool on the property that is available for guests if I'm not mistaken

My baby boy had his birthday party here and everyone was super happy! Staff was very friendly and professional. We drove over an hour one way to host the party and it was worth! Definitely recommend it for anyone!

Visited for my nieces birthday party. Great place to enjoy outdoors with family. So many activities, animals and space for kids to enjoy. The kids most enjoyed the train ride and being able to hand feed animals. Love to visit again when in town.

Hmmm we didn’t love the experience they had nice farm animals to pet but if you don’t plan to stay all day there I would say it’s not worth the money. We went in pumpkin patch season, rode the small train, stayed about an hour and left. Don’t think we’ll go again. In my opinion, it’s for small children 4 and below to enjoy.

This place is great if you have little ones. If you throw a party here the staff is great. Awesome. We have 8 parties the same day as ours and we were all treated well. Enough space for everyone to enjoy the grounds.

We had a good time, but I wish the animals were better cared for-made me sad. Thought perhaps this was a sanctuary for abused animals because of how thin some of their horses were and absolutely destroyed their “petting rabbits” looked. Sore hocks, ears completely crusted and torn, no fan or cooling in 100 degree heat- not even water. Aside from that there are quite a few playgrounds, animals and the train is fun. It was also really empty so nice to have the majority of the place to ourselves

Such an amazing time it was awesome because I got to teach my kids about the animals and interacted with them. The train driver was so sweet gave us the full tour, we will be returning once the weather gets cooler.

I can't believe that they are charging infants the SAME price as adults 20.00. That is a rip off. These babies not even walking, not to mention the place is going down. Again so sad. Nearly the price of Houston Zoo . I told the lady our grandson had just lost his mom due to Mental Health and her response was, O that's still 20.00. Will not return. It's about compassion for me.

Wonderful time at Old McDonald's Farm! We got the train ride to tour the area, and it is plenty of space to walk around and see the animals without feeling crowded by others visiting. It is a perfect place to bring the kids easily burned a couple of hours without breaking the bank. The kids got to feed the goats and Llama. My son and daughter got their first ride on a pony and whole swing set to themselves. Safe to say, the kids enjoyed their time. If anything, they were upset we didn't stay until closing 😂 we will be back. Thank you for a lasting memory.

Had lots of fun, our pre-k student's 1st field trip! Long lines for the ponies and the train but they moved pretty fast. All the kids loved the animals and all the things they could do, sand hill (like a sand box but huge), play grounds (a few of them), pony rides, train ride, bridges. They sell small bags of feed you can give to most of the animals, they do ask that you don't feed the pig, horse(s), and donkey because they bite (sings are posted), but most animals can bite including the ones with out signs. Remember the lamas will spit. Snacks can be bought there as well, not super pricey like other attractions. Lots of fun for the kiddos if you are looking to have a day outside.

Cute little petting zoo for the younger kids. Had a train and horse rides for the kids but lines were long so we didn’t get to ride the horses. My little one liked it but it probably wouldn’t be a spot to take kids older than 5-6 years old.

My granddaughter party was a blast at Old McDonald's Farm. The children enjoyed seeing the animals. As far as the train ride, I believe the adults loved being a kid all over again. 😆 the staff their was wonderful. The train conductor was a win-win. He enjoyed his job, which made it more inviting to ride the train for the adults. I believe he said he's worked there for over twenty years, hats off to him. That was a wonderful birthday party at Old McDonald's Farm ! Thank you, Old McDonald's Farm and staff ! Great staffing is everything !

I want to say this was such a great trip! I took a daycare group of 20 and we had a blast! All of the employees were amazing and accommodating! The animals looked to be in good health with plenty of water and shade on a hot day!There were plenty of different activities to partake in from pony rides, petting zoo, a train and even a swimming pool all covered by the cost of admission ($18.62/per person).I would highly recommend a visit even if just to say you went to Old MacDonalds Farm!

I have been coming to San Jacinto my enter life and it is where my love of history was laid. I was last here in July when it was 105 degrees outside, and despite that I loved being able to drive around the battleground and see the markers of where everything took place.The museum had a new exhibit detailing the construction of the monument as well as walking through Texas History and figures who were at the battle. The film shown in the theater was excellent and I highly recommend taking the time to watch it.Whether you are new to Texas History or a passionate Texan, I highly recommend coming to San Jacinto. Going to miss seeing the Battleship here but there are great opportunities to explore the decisive battle that won Texas independence.

This was the first time to actually go in to the monument. I have lived in Houston my entire life and I am in my mid 60's. This was one of the best places to visit. So much history in one place. The elevator ride to the observation room was great the view was amazing. I will be back to walk the trails.

I can't say I'm much of a history buff so it was pretty much what you see is what you get. We strolled around the small museum on the ground floor but didn't go up the elevators, which you can do for a small fee. (It was closed for maintenance when we were there.) It's probably not worth going out of your way to see but it's a nice, short detour among other tourist stops in Houston if you're close by. The weather was perfect when we went and I was surprised to learn that it's actually taller than the Washington Monument in D.C.

The San Jacinto Memorial is a hidden gem that holds immense historical significance for the United States. Unfortunately, its importance seems to be fading into obscurity, which is a real shame. The memorial stands as a testament to a pivotal moment in American history, and visiting it is both educational and deeply moving.The site is beautifully maintained, offering a serene and reflective environment. I truly hope that more people will get to know about this remarkable place and visit it. Supporting the San Jacinto Memorial is essential to preserving this important piece of American’s national heritage.

This is a favorite day trip for our family! The monument contains a highly educational museum full of artifacts from Texas history, a theater that shows an award-winning short film (that my 10 year old enjoyed enough to "shush" me when I asked him a question), a room full of dioramas that have fascinated me since I was young, and an observation deck at the top with an amazing view! Unfortunately the elevator to the observation deck is currently closed for repairs. There are also walking and hiking trails with information on the plants and animals of the area along the paths, plenty of great picnic areas, and leashed pets are welcome.

For anyone interested in Texas history this stop is a must. Go to the top and get an overall view of the grounds where the battle happened. Watch a great 35 min movie and visit the museum. Don’t forget to get your Texas Passport signed and or pick up one for free to start your Texas History tour around the state.

Not how I remember it growing up. But still nice! The workers are amazingly helpful. There will be a reenactment that I am exited to go to. Forgot when exactly but I am pretty sure it’s on the website.

I can recall several visits to San Jacinto as a native Houstonian. Now living in middle TN, I enjoy SJ even more. It’s nice to see the USS Texas get the attention she deserves. And thankful to see SJ keeping the grounds up to those who fought here. It’s a worthwhile trip for anyone! Especially when the Texas returns!!I recommend the YouTube video by the fat electrician on the USS Texas. Entertaining and informative!! But then, I also am a history enthusiast!!

Amazing view of Texas history. If you’re a native Texan or not you’ve got to come out. The museum is informative and the landscape beautiful. Bring quarters or dollar bills (there’s a change machine) to the top to use the binoculars and bring a penny so you can flatten it for a souvenir.

Did you know that the San Jacinto Monument is actually the tallest monumental column in the world? Really cool place to visit and walk the reflection pond. I believe you can go up in the tower, yet I've never personally gone up. The USS Texas is within eyesight and worth seeing if you've never seen a ship from WW1. Perfect for a day trip to learn about the battle that declared Texas its own entity! I saw this snake when I visited on New Years Day.

Loved checking out the battleground of one of the most historic battles for Texas. Having specific locations marked by historical stone markers and signs helped lay out the entire battle wonderfully. Will have to visit again when I have more time.

The Obelisk is taller than the Washington Monument in DC just proving once again that everything is bigger in Texas lol. The World War I battleship the USS Texas was an amazing sight to see as well. Totally free to view but tours cost money, Not sure how much as I didn't take the tour.

It’s a great experience to visit this place, it has couple of small parks along with trails to explore the historic spot and nature together.There is no ticket for entry to the park and to the trials but there is an 12$ ticket for the museum and to go to the top of the tower , along with a small show about the battle.There are posters and wall engraving with quotes and lot of information about the battle, ferries, and past.

Definatly worth the trip! Beautiful monument with ample parking. Inside there is a musem, theater with film about the battle site, and an elevator up to the observation deck.

Very cool and informative site. I did not know it had a museum nor that you can ride the elevator to the top. $15 gets you in and that gets you an elevator ride, movie and the museum. A few interesting items that you may not see outside of this location. The grounds were well maintained and staff were friendly and knowledgable.

Lovely views and a great museum. Interactive things for the kids to get them interested in history. Free posters and pinch pot kits. Work puzzles and solve history clues. You can also sign up for a van tour included with the price of admission. The van drives you around, but you do not get out. There is a great film that is a nice introduction to the site. Ample free parking. Stay as long as you like.

The San Jacinto Monument, standing tall amidst the coastal prairie, promises a glimpse into Texas history. However, my experience left me feeling underwhelmed.First, let’s address the elephant in the room: the price. At $14 per person, it’s as if they’re charging admission to witness the birth of a nation. Perhaps they believe that the higher the fee, the more historical significance seeps into our souls. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.As I ascended the monument, I couldn’t help but ponder the irony. General Sam Houston’s ragtag army defeated Santa Anna’s forces, securing Texas’s independence. Yet, here we are, paying a small fortune to commemorate their sacrifice. It’s like charging admission to a fireworks display celebrating the Fourth of July – a bit counterintuitive, don’t you think?Inside, the museum offered a modest collection of artifacts. The replica rifles were a highlight, though their weight left my arms questioning my life choices. The film – well done, I admit – recounted the battle, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that Santa Anna got off easy. Texans showed him more mercy than he ever extended at the Alamo.Now, let’s talk about the location. Nestled in an industrial area, the monument seems out of place. Picture this: oil refineries on one side, a towering tribute to history on the other. It’s like hosting a black-tie gala in a fast-food joint – incongruous and slightly awkward.In summary, the San Jacinto Monument is a pricey detour for history buffs. If you’re willing to part with your hard-earned dollars, go ahead. But remember, the real heroes didn’t fight for profit margins; they fought for freedom.

Great place to view some history. Very informational with many items to view from that time. All around nice visit. Lots of views from the top.

Great time here and it was spectacular to see. Very informative and educational with theatre experience and museum. Was a very cold day but the views were amazing. Staff were friendly and it was easy to get around.

This is a important historical site that doesn't get the attention it deserves.Plan to spend some time and walk the grounds. It is beautiful country with a sad past.

The place where history sleeps is here and that is what makes it so special. A half day trip to this place is the best way to spend your time. I found it to be very informative and interesting for all of us. A lot more can be learned there, and on top of that, there is a trail where we can take a long walk if we want to. If you are interested in visiting the museum, which is housed inside the monument, you will have to pay 14 dollars per person for admission.

This is an absolute must to see! The last battle that led to requiring Texas. The museum is very informative and wonderful artifacts. Be sure to drive around the grounds and learn about the history that took place here.

Definitely worth a visit to this interesting place. The video was awesome & I enjoyed learning about the battle & history that way rather than reading it all. The observation deck was cool, the change machine was not working & I was short a quarter for the smashed penny machine, so we had to go down to get change. Luckily one of the volunteers told us about a penny machine by the gift shop. There was also a crowd of school kids running around yelling which made the experience a little less enjoyable.

Loved it..The place is very well preserved and clean and has so much interesting history and the little movie was very interesting..Beautiful views from the top

The best place we visited in Texas behind the Alamo. Great museum, movie, and exhibits about the Texas Revolution. It is a history lover's dream. The monument has easy access and there is a ton of green space and trails on the grounds of the park for hiking, picnicking, and bird watching. They have restrooms, gift shop, and very reasonable pricing for all you get to see and do. Staff is extremely friendly.

Great place to learn Mexico/Texas history. Drive or bike the battleground area for free and imagine the people and battle. Great area for birding, too. Museum and observatory are worth the entrance fee.

One of the most important places in Texas. Sadly not many people came to visit. Learning about Texas history and walking around the battleground knowing this was the place that changed the history of Texas it gave me a chilled.

Been goin there since I was a little boy..never a disappointment...EVER Texas history is awesome..won't get tired of learning as a fact..MyGreat Great Grandfather.. Guideon Lincecim and Stephen F Austin as well as Darwin were pals..Guideon is considered one of the founding fathers of Texas..have a look see..you won't be disappointed

Had the absolute BEST time on 10/23/21 on this dinner cruise!!! Bartender Courtney was so much fun and on her game! The meal was very nice and the DJ was an absolute riot!! I agree with other reviewers that the boat surely needs a little love ❤️ but We could not have had a better time than we did!!

A very nice experience. Watching the sunset on the boat 🚢 the dinner was incredibly delicious 😋 the first-class attention with the music. Unforgettable experience. The only thing I didn't like at all is that there was dust accumulated on the chairs. But other than that it was all very exciting.

Very nice birthday for me, my fiance arranged this dinner cruise to celebrate my birthday. It was a great night. Lake Conroe was beautiful. The boat is distinguished. The dinner was good. Drinks were great. It was a really enjoyable experience.

Wonderful Fourth of July cruise!Staff was friendly, happy, and great to talk to. Catered BBQ was very tasty and filling. The weather cooperated and fireworks were all around the lake.

Despite the torrential downpour, we had a total blast aboard the Southern Empress for Mother’s Day. It was such a fun atmosphere with a lively bunch of people. The food was delicious as well. The best part of the day was dancing and singing along to all of our favorite songs! A special shout out to the DJ, she was so sweet and so much fun and played all of our song requests. We also had a birthday in our group and our server Nora was so sweet to make it special for him, and brought out the desert with a candle and everyone sang happy birthday. The service was great and everyone was warm and welcoming. We had a great time and can’t wait for the next time! Thank you Southern Express for a super fun and special Mother’s Day!

Fun fun fun. The ship is in poor condition but seaworthy and the condition actually adds much charm to the whole experience. Food is average but good. They will accommodate special diets. Wait staff top notch. We will likely do this again.

I booked the Southern Empress Cruise as a Mothers Day Eve event for my Mom and Dad. On Mothers Day, mom made sure to let all of our family know about how much fun she had on the cruise across lake Conroe on this gorgeous paddle boat. Every thing from the menu, the amazing service and crewmen, the dancing and as she said the American Idol worthy Karaoke!! So very thankful to everyone aboard who help elevate this special day for her!

My husband and I booked the dinner cruise for our Anniversary and we were very pleased with the whole experience. I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the deck area where patrons were boarding were warped and in really poor shape and could be a hazard for some. The boat was also dated and could use renovations, but the age of the boat and and the dated decor gave it a lot of character. It was like stepping back in time upon boarding. We enjoyed dinner very much and the wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful. There was only one bartender on duty that night and she did a fantastic job. The sunset is absolutely gorgeous from the boat and it was a unique experience all around. I highly recommend.

Great experience! Great food and service. The boat is awesome and a good chance to travel back in time.Cons: If you bring your own boat theres zero breakwater. The owners put some extra buoys on our boat while we were out on the cruise as a precaution which was above and beyond. There’s a small marina a short walk away that we will attempt to park at next time.

We had so much fun last night on our murder mystery cruise. The show was great and the dinner was delicious. Each time we go there is a surprise menu and the Asian inspired chicken dish and all the complementary dishes were EXCELLENT. The cruise on the lake was comfortable and the crew could not have been nicer. All professional and friendly as can be. Made every one feel like VIP guests all night !We will definitely sail again!!Dee, Lindsay, Phoenix & AustinTable 17.

Not recommended at all.I was exiting towards the deck making the attempt to bring in the new year and I was stopped by a employee named Terry attempting to take away my wine glass. The reason was because she needed to make sure there was vine left for all the guest.Well as the new year came in I approached the inside and I found plenty more left over.I will never return here again.NOT RECOMMENDEDJAMES WAS AWESOME

We celebrated our daughter's 16th birthday on the Southern Empress. The staff was phenomenal. Barbara and Jeff were perfect hosts and accommodated our requests where they could. The music, captain and bar staff were all very professional, friendly and made everyone feel welcome! We had a terrible rain storm and passenger safety was their priority. We loved it and will definitely be back!

It was my birthday and I must say I had a great time!! My family also enjoyed themselves! The food was excellent and everyone was very friendly! I will definitely go again!!

We had a wonderful experience on board the Southern Empress Cruise at Lake Conroe on the New Year’s Eve day. The ambiance & atmosphere over the 2.5 hour cruise was great & enjoyable. It was a perfect weather & clear sky, which made the ride even more enjoyable. The only thing which we hope improves was that there were no options for vegetarians on the dinner menu. We would certainly recommend our friends to this interesting experience…

Went on the Murder Mystery Cruise and it was so much fun! The boat may need to be updated a bit, but the people that worked there were really fun, and helpful, dinner was good, and the actors for the mystery were great! We had a lot of fun!

Took Mom on the dinner cruise last week. Some great views of the lake and sunset. Food was very nice and there's a bar and small dance floor on the middle deck.

I LOVED MY @SOUTHERNEMPRESSCRUISE IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND LITTLE RAIN DID NOT STOP ME!! THE DJ AND STAFF WERE AWESOME!! WE DOCKED 45 MINUTES EARLY BECAUSE OF HEAVY RAIN AND THE MUSIC, LINE DANCING AND DRINKS NEVER STOPPED...

2nd time going and it was absolutely amazing once again. From the dinner to the drinks and dancing. Thank you for making our gift to our parents celebrating 50 years so special.

We had a wonderful time on the Empress, the staff was efficient in service, the food was great. The Bartender was phenomenal, and Captain Kurt was excellent. thank you Barb and the crew, the ship was in great shape and so was the staff.

What a great way to spend my wife’s 40th birthday. The staff was awesome, enjoyed the live play, and views from the boat was a great experience. Thanks Jeff, you and your staff made it a perfect date night.

I had a wonderful experience. The food was good, the staff and owner were so nice, and I met some new friends. My only suggestion is to install lights that do not draw bugs. There were tons of them flying around. Other than that, the experience was perfect and a beautiful one to remember. Thanks so much.

It was a good experience, friendly staff, however the food was bad. The piece of steak I had was cold and tasteless lots of tendons. Maybe it was just that one piece. But still did not enjoy dinner

Our group enjoyed a beautiful day luncheon cruise on Lake Conroe. Ship staff was helpful, food was tasty, but the views were unparalleled! 4 stars from me - Realtor Kevin Williams, aka #therealtorinthefedoraX

Great place. But don't go during photography times (whenever that is). They take up a lot of space and block walkways. Lots of people just standing around. Granted it's an open and beautiful place for pictures, but it kinda kills the experience when you have to keep double backing and walking around photographers, their equipment and the entire family. You also can't take your pics because everyone else in the background. Just have to be patient and wait for them to get done or move on to another location. Other than that it was nice for our first time.

A very beautiful place to visit. A lot of various plants to see. Under construction and can't wait to see it when it's completed. Would recommend anyone to stop by. Just remember sunblock and/or hat. There's not that much shade. I wish I came in the spring!

This place was so beautiful. Brought our family and we had such a great time walking through the trails full of different flowers and plants.Great for professional photography. I believe there is a fee for that. Call the park for details.Today the main office was closed. We didn't get to go inside. Not sure if they had public restrooms.

This place is amazing. We drove from Houston and it was very worth it! There are miles of walk trails. Tons of professional photographers were there doing family portraits and school pictures which tells you how gorgeous the grounds are. There is a lake. Nearly every plant has an identification marker so its a great place to get landscaping ideas or just learn the local flora. There is a long trail through the woods too so you can get a good walk in the shade too. We will be returning a lot of times in the future.

I really enjoyed a beautiful day walking among the many different gardens. It was well kept, well organized, and especially pleasing. There was enough shade to seek refuge from the sun toward noon. 2 hours was barely enough time to see it all! The only suggestion would be to have better signage to the different sections, especially to the lake.

Very beautiful and quiet place! Admission is free, and there's always a lot of parking available. It's definitely my new favorite place here! Will be coming back often. 😊

The International Landscape Lighting Institute Spring intensive course returned to Mercer Botanical Gardens and they treated our group like family. The gardens are beautiful and well cared for. Our goal was to make what is beautiful during the daylight into something magical and useful during the night time. Lots of educational programs and the staff is wonderful. If you are in the area you should pay a visit.

Just WOW! Beautiful and calm place right in the city. Plants and trees are identified, so if you are a nature lover, you will enjoy learning more about the great variety of plants and trees in the garden. This is great place to bring small children so they can develop that care and love for nature, and it is so accesible from the city that there is no excuse to not come and enjoy some time of calm and peace. There is also a visitor center with restrooms. Did I say it is free? Don't miss the opportunity to bring your family this summer. You will invest a good hour or two on you wellness here.

Mercer Botanic Gardens is a delight to visit. It is well kept and gorgeous. It has a wide variety of plants and flowers. And there is no fee to visit. Be prepared to take dozens of photos.

Beautiful day 💗 beautiful plants and flowers 🌺🌹 really enjoyed the garden 💐 I didn't get to see all. Only seen half. I am going again to see the rest of it..186 acre's total at this point adding to it soon. 240 acre's. If you like gardens I recommend this garden free. family ,friends meetings at this place restrooms close clean very very nice garden

This place has been on my want to go places. My husband and I visited 4/25/23. There was so much to see and it was such a beautiful place. There is even a cute fairy garden for the little ones. Make sure to visit the visitor center at the front to sign the guest book and donate if you want. Entry is free! It’s definitely worth the visit!

I took my kids along my nephew and niece , we all loved the entire park , spectacular place to spend quality time with your family and love ones and to same memories and photos. And it is all free. My kids learn so much and had a wind day. People in the front disk Are very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

I always love this place! It’s so pretty and never busy. I do wish there was a way to easily see if parts of the trail are closed as a large portion was being cleaned up from storms this past week. We still had a great time and even got to see pink bananas growing!

Very beautiful place. It has Gardens and trails, it is a place to enjoy nature and to take a walk to have a meditation time.

TIMELESS MEMORIES!! GOT ENGAGED HERE!! Came on April 11 and now have memories that will last forever.Amazing, breath taking garden that we will forever remember. The trails and variety of plants are wonderful. So happy and will always and forever appreciate this little slice of heaven!

A FREE botanical garden! It's open on Easter Sunday! It's the perfect place to walk and enjoy the spring weather as well as get some amazing photos! There were tons of photographers out doing photo shoots.Pets are not allowed unfortunately. I carried my chihuahua in my purse. Another lady kept her small poodle on the bench next to her.The place is so beautiful! I highly recommend this little gem!!Give this place all of the funding and donations, it's amazing!

I LOVE referring my clients to this location for any and all types of photoshoots! It’s beautifully maintained, easy to get around and feels big yet small at the same time and I mean that in the best way!

How come no one told me about this place?! Let alone I hear no one talking about it? this place is such a 💎. I didn’t know it would be on so much land. That was fun because I could get my steps in and it wasn’t just one trail but it’s broken into different paths so you can enjoy different parts of the garden from different perspectives ! I really enjoyed my walk here and there was so much plant species to look at and awe over.The best part was just how not in “Houston” it felt or even in Texas sorta ? It felt and looked like a place in the Pacific Northwest minus the the water.I think in a way that is like a retreat from everything we’re so used too as Texans but also just the hustle and bustle from the city. It was refreshing to say the least and if you want a picturesque photo or just out for a walk like I was… this place is it.Parking is decent but I can imagine on a busy day or lots of events happening it’ll get packed. They are also doing renovations so keep that in mind.They have bathrooms and a community library there too.Enjoy!

Such a beautiful place to enjoy nature. Loads of plants, trees, and flowers to admire. Cute little ponds with fish and turtles. Lots of places to sit, many of them shaded. A great place to bring kids and let them get their energy out! They have events for all ages; when we went, they had a Pokemon scavenger hunt throughout the park. Kept our 3 kids entertained for hours! Glad we found this place!

Mercer Botanic Gardens is such an incredible location!!! The park grounds are very well maintained! It is definitely one of the best spots in Houston to take photos. There are so many different backgrounds for photos at Mercer Botanic Gardens. The parking fills up fast on the weekend here so you should plan accordingly.

There is no doubt that this is a place that should not be missed if you love nature. It's a place full of flowers and butterflies, and it's a very picturesque place. Free entry and beautiful gardens to enjoy. There was something very special about the place and I felt a deep connection to it. Definitely worth a try!

Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing, awe-inspiring, accessible botanical gardens, northern Houston suburbs. Free to enter, though donations are appreciated. Most recent visit was for the yearly March Mart Plant sale extravaganza weekend. I went early on the 2nd day, less crowded, though some of what I wanted was sold out. Plants selected to do well in southeast Texas.

Beautiful garden and very well maintained. Wish I can come back during spring, m sure it would be even more beautiful. Also, looking at the other photographs, I realize I wasn't even able to see the entire garden, it's bigger than I thought!

"Mercer Botanic Gardens is a true treasure with its free entrance, offering more value than many paid attractions. The beauty of this well-maintained sanctuary is simply breathtaking. It's not just a garden; it's an experience. Whether you're seeking serenity or the perfect backdrop for a photoshoot, Mercer Botanic Gardens delivers beyond expectations. A must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature's splendor."

Visited this public botanic garden in 2021. It is free of admission. This 325 acres garden has various types of garden bed, ponds, a waterfall, walking paths, a primitive loop, greenhouses, a tea house, and a visitor center with a classroom. The vast array of plant species and meticulously maintained landscapes make it a paradise for nature lovers. Walking through its serene paths is both calming and inspiring. The gardens are well-organized, with informative signage throughout. When we visited here it was in the beginning of spring, so the trees were still recovering from the winter.

A beautiful and enjoyable experience! Would be a great place for special occasion photos. I loved reading the descriptions of each plant along the walkways. Plenty of shaded areas and benches.

There are some really great slides, and we had a blast. The lifeguards are great but really quick to admonish. Stopped to admire one of the slides from the lazy river and got a whistle to keep moving, even though no one else was near us.The concession staff were slow, but it was opening weekend. They have an I don't care attitude for the most part, but there were a few who were very friendly.Too many computer issues as well. I was 3rd in line and it took 15 minutes before I got to order. They had to scan my card 8 times.They don't seem to know the concept of hot food.of our 4 meals, not a single one was hot. Fries, chicken strips, tacos, pizza... all room temperature. Was sick on Monday.Street tacos were on corn tortillas that were not at all warmed, they were right out of the package and were dry and rubbery.Pizza, burgers, fries, and chicken strips left sitting out for over 15 minutes before being given to guests. Horrible.Prices were unbelievable. $17 for a hot dog?? Or a slice of pepperoni pizza? No wonder everyone leaves and walks to the Wendy's near the entrance.

The park was a blast. The kids had a great time playing and going on the rides. The entertainment was well worth the money spent.The only drawback was the food. The food left alot to be desired, huge lines, a 45 minute wait to order, the best part was the fries. The burger was burnt, the pizzas weren't done all the way, but after almost an hr waiting for food it isn't like we could send it back. For $120 bucks to feed 6 people, it could've been better. So that was disappointing.But other than that, the park itself was great. The staff were friendly and polite, the lines weren't too bad, and the kids made some awesome memories. The restrooms were well maintained, the facilities in general were clean, and the lifeguards were very prompt and professional. We don't usually go to large water parks, but this was definitely a memorable experience, minus the whole food debacle. 4 stars

It's a good water park but crazy having to pay for parking and then a locker and then food on top of tickets. Especially in this economy. And we bought a float for my 1yo nephew and it was not allowed in any of the pools. That was a bummer.

Started going here in 1988 when all my friends got summer jobs here… it was great then. Brought my kids on season passes from 2005-2012…. It was great then. Came back today with my 23-year-old daughter…. It’s still great now. It’s a public pool, y’all. Come with realistic expectations about the crowds and cleanliness. Also, come with a cooler that you can leave in your car to exit, eat lunch, then go back in, or go to one of the many fast food places adjacent to the park. The concessions are very expensive. You can bring in one bottle of water — bring a big one! It’s hot. But it’s such a great value to have a perfect summer afternoon. I loved the addition of the metal detectives and x-ray machines. It’s safe like the airport, so you can just relax and enjoy your day.

Was pretty fun, uhm wouldn’t do it again or recommend it to anybody tho to be honest. It is super expensive and to me it’s more fun to go old fashion and drive thru neighborhoods or go to the light place in college station !

Fun rides, lazy river, places to relax, shops with water park stuff and souvenirs. It’s a great place. The only downside was the price of the food…$20 for a burger and fries and $20 for a slice of pizza and fries. The serving of the fries was generous but not recommended to rely on food there. Park is open 11-6. You can buy tickets online. If you’re going to go more than once this summer I recommend season passes especially because it comes with quick parking. There’s a six flags app that has the map of the park and more details in there. The staff there is nice and the park seems very safe.

Absolutely awesome! Great family get away that won't break the bank. The only issue I have is folks claiming seats and literally using them only to store thier belongings. This is not the parks fault by no means. So be sure to plan ahead for the things you'll be hauling with you. We will definitely be returning with out a doubt.

This water park is fun. in good location. It is best to arrive early to find a good parking spot. inside you can buy, some food. and the drinks, if you have the sixs flags seasonal cups the refills are free. they have several attractions, and everything is clean, and many lifeguards, always watching. Just fun in this water park!!

My first ever visit to Hurricane Harbor and I was disappointed. Unfortunately, the weather didn't hold up too well. The water park opened at 10 a.m. and by 12:30 p.m. we were told to get out of the water as there was lightning nearby. An "act of God" can not be blamed on HH. We wanted a rain check voucher, but was told by HH staff that they would have to officially close the park for the remainder of the day. If they did close the park, we would have to return to customer service at closing time to receive our raincheck voucher.

Got here early.... thank goodness. The park really fills up around 1-3pm. There was plenty of rides for my toddler to ride. Food was extremely expensive..I would recommend to get the all you can eat pass for $44.95 it seems it would pay itself off easily. They also have a $1.30 "surcharge" on every transactions "due to increased labor." Another easy way for them to make a buck. Happy we got the season pass, I don't feel too bad leaving early due to the large crowd. Nonetheless we had a great time. No free tubes to ride the lazy river or rides, they all have to be rented. My son busted his eyebrow open on the rocks in the lazy river there were too many people. First aid was very kind and helpful.In short- get your season pass, get all access dining, get there early, refill your season cup and it won't be as much each trip you make. If you go just one day you'll be spending a lot more than if you do it this way.

Monday-Wednesday are the best days to go for way shorter lines for the water slides. 🛝 💧 🏄🏾‍♂️ 🌊 🏄‍♀️ 🌊 🏄‍♀️Also the "ten minute staff wave pool breaks" at times turn into 15-20+ minutes on average" Social will live on without the teenage lifeguards 😁 Yall can check your status on lunch break or when you go home...(Non- major holiday days) I purchased the Platinum passes for the fam. Wish this park was larger.Also some staff members need to be paid 1-2 dollars more per hour. 💸

It’s shame most of the rides were closed including rope swing, stingray racer, Texas free fall, brain drain,even the wave surfer.That in itself made the rest of the rides way more congested. Even the lazy river at one point was super crowded.

This place has changes since I last visited it. It was an amazing place to revisit the people was fun and the rides definitely did what they was suppose to. I even re rode rides twice. Begin to get away from home and enjoy this park made the 6hr drive worth while. I’d go back personally. My only thing was the day I chose to go. It was really packs if I could have went during a week day I’d probably would’ve avoided whoever kids was playing in the lazy river.

I love this place. We have premium season passes, so we go whenever we want to go. But the lines are so long for the water slides && the stairs- oh lord it's so many stairs. But it's worth the 30 second ride. The food is pretty high, but they let you bring water bottles in. Other than that , me and my brothers have a blast here every year. I recommend you should go get a season pass to this water park next summer. Oh and let's not forget, the waves in the wave pool is so big. I love it!!!!😹🪴

Got a cabana for my son’s bday with 8 total people. Bought the bday package for my son and additional packs for guests where they get 1 food, drink and snack. The level of ineptitude by the employees is dumbfounding. Any question we had for almost anybody in the park, they couldn’t answer. We had to leave our cabana and get food from 3 different areas to satisfy what I prepaid for. Even the waitress at the cabana had no earthly idea how to take care of us outside of paying additional. She didn’t even know we had a birthday or paid extra for meals, etc…We used to have season tickets here a few years ago and loved coming. I don’t know what happened since then, but the staff is obviously not trained at all. For a Six Flags Park, they should be way more organized and trained to at least no simple tasks. If I didn’t organize this party and got this cabana/prepaid food, I probably would not have known the difference to be honest. I’m just Extremely disappointed with this experience!

Overall very fun little getaway if you’re looking to cool down in Houston. I visited the park on a Sunday and some of the rides I was looking forward to the most were closed down (not entirely sure why), other than that I had a great time and would definitely consider visiting again.

90% of the rides were shut off the day we went. not worth the day pass if you are just planning to go this location. we had the seasonal pass so wasn’t that bad but still there was one ride we could do and a swimming pool. not a good experience and i wouldn’t recommend this location.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would! Upon arrival we were told half the rides were closed and only the kid attractions and wave pools were open. Cool, but why wasn’t this disclaimer listed on the website? I could have made a decision not to come at all had I know the park wasn’t fully functional. I asked the attendant would the $27 parking fee be reduced or waived since we wouldn’t be getting the full experience. He said no. I went to guest relations to ask for a rain check or some type of credit. The “kids” posing as management told me there was nothing they could do. We also couldn’t redeem our meal and to no surprise, the kids posing as managers were absolutely no help. I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN. For a place that charges you to breathe, they are clueless and not accommodating at all.Update as of 7/23: they asked me to email them in the message they posted in response to this, I have YET to hear back. I really just want my money back so I can move on with my life. I wouldn’t bring my pet turtle to this place.

Very dissatisfied with our visit. 5/4/24. 80% of the park was closed. Only wave pool regular pool, kiddie area and about 4 slides were open. None of the big slides, lazy river, big kids area were opened. That is completely unsat. People are spending their hard earned money to come here for most of the park to be closed. We have a season pass but I feel sorry for the people that paid full price to come here today when they could have gone to a public pool for the same experience. Six flags should be ashamed of themselves.

Love love love it here. I went almost every day this last summer. Its a blast and so close! Bigs slides for thrilling fun, then a soak in the lazy river to rest. Best days ever. I do recommend a season pass 👍

Not a lot of people due to the park just opening and summer hasn't kicked in yet. Not a lot of rides open due to the weather week we had. Kids park and hurricane harbor were the only parks we went to, and the water was very cold, but I'm sure during the summer heat it'll be great. Clean throughout the park, the cabanas were nice and clean. The attendants were attentive and nice. Got the yearly pass so it'll be a great advantage to getting good parking and no long waits, nice discounts.

To sum it up short, this is a water park you can go to and have fun, if you have the season pass then enjoy it all summer, if not, wait a few weeks. That's when the REAL summer kicks in, and when they open up a bit more for the crowd. Food, slides, tubes, simple fun just as it was before.So yes, you should go here if you want to go to a Waterpark, remember to wear sunscreen!

My recent visit to Hurricane Harbor Splashtown left much to be desired. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that the staff lacked motivation and displayed a pervasive "I don’t care" attitude. Whether interacting with lifeguards or ordering at the food court, the prevailing demeanor was one of indifference. Instead of a warm greeting, I was met with a monotonous "what do you need?” or worse, no acknowledgment at all until prompted.Adding to the disappointment were the frequent out-of-order signs on the most popular rides. It was frustrating to anticipate an exhilarating experience only to find it unavailable without prior notice.Furthermore, there seemed to be a significant deficiency in knowledge and adherence to policies among both staff and management. I found myself repeatedly explaining my simple request for my 2024 season pass cups to various personnel, each seemingly unaware of protocol. As well, the high food prices were particularly egregious considering the lackluster service and overall experience. It felt unjustified to pay such premiums for standard amusement park fare.Overall, my impression of Hurricane Harbor Splashtown is lukewarm at best. For the amount of money spent, the experience fell short of expectations. If improvements are not made promptly, I see little reason to return. Visitors deserve a more engaging and efficient experience, along with operational transparency regarding ride availability.

We visited Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashpark to enjoy the cool water on a hot day. Some rides were not working that I wanted to try out. The churros were overcooked and did not have enough sugar. We waited over 20 minutes for a pretzel. The staff lacked communication with each other in order to provide adequate customer service. The lazy river was very refreshing. The big kahuna was frightening but very enjoyable. My son had a wonderful time in the wave pool. He jumped at every wave.

Took my 1 1/2 year old. It was the first time for him and me. Got there a little bit after 11 but the parking lot was already filling. A crowd was expected for Memorial Day. Purchased a season pass because we live close. It includes parking. Everything is quite pricey right along with everything Six Flags. Got the souvenir bottle so we get free refills for the rest of the season. They have a kidde areas which is perfect for him. I was even able to slide down a couple larger slides with him on my lap. We enjoyed the lazy river and also the wave pool.

Arrive early to secure a spot, there’s areas with chairs and tables you don’t have to pay for. Fun for all ages. We didn’t rent a locker we left our belongings for hours unattended with no issues. We brought bottles of water but food is not allow inside. Avoid buying food if you can, too expensive. You can leave the park (to eat )and return, you will get a stamp. The lines were pretty long but it was worth it, some of the slides have only one employee and maybe that's why the delay. Overall we had lots fun and planning to return and rent a cabana for a different experience.

Park is fun, but pay $35/per + $18 locker + $65 refreshments/snacks + parking + meal.Getting 1 drink takes 1 hour on a Saturday. Getting a meal takes longer. You’ll spend about half your day just waiting in food lines. Don’t wait too long before your body needs water since you can’t bring it in. Definitely don’t give up on getting drinks because you’ve waited an hour and then end up with heat stroke having to wait another. May be worth seeing if the value + safety is better with other water parks in the area.

My son and I had an absolute blast. Going during the week is the best time to go. I do think some of their slides height requirements could be bumped down to 40”-46” like at the Hurricane Harbor in Arlington. App was user friendly and park is easy to navigate (somewhat on the smaller side compared to others) but it made it easier for me to keep up with my 5 year old. All staff encountered were knowledgeable and helpful.One downside was how expensive the “extras” were and the food. The food lines were also a longer wait than the slide rides. Took me 15-20 minutes to get a drink refill in my season cup.Another downside was the amount of teenagers that were there without supervision and were just super disrespectful to everybody and everything until security has to step in 😅Overall though…a great outing for families of all types.

So much documented history to enjoy and touring the grounds is a fun adventure. Be sure to buy a tram visit to see the additional areas you're interested in. If you visit historical mission control, there are 87 steps to climb up (they have an antiquated elevator that can only hold five people so be prepared for a climb if there's anyone in your party who experience mobility issues). It can get a little hot as well going between areas so bring a fan. Water is 5 dollars and parking costs 10 dollars (you have to access an app using your phone to pay for parking). Have fun binging on space!!!

Great experience. Lots of information and lots of photo ops available. Staff were super knowledgeable which adds to the experience. And some interactive components were available. Tram tours were interesting but maybe not worth the queues under the heat and 15 dollars unless you are really interested in the content.It was dark over some parts of the exhibits but it was good atmosphere.A few things that can be improved. Install misters over the trams. The weather is insanely hot. The queues can also be improved in the morning, was told to leave the queue to collect tickets, only to know that we need to go back into that same queue again after.

I recently visited the NASA Space Center Houston, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! The exhibits are both educational and engaging, allowing visitors to learn about the history of space exploration and the wonders of the universe in an interactive way. The highlight for me was the tram tour to go see the rocket housed in their warehouse. It was amazing to see such a piece of history in-person! The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, and the overall atmosphere is inspiring. If you have any interest in space or science, this is a must-visit destination.

Honestly, a little bit underwhelmed. Maybe I was a too psyched. Should have kept expectations a little low.Worth seeing - Rocket park tram tour, astronaut talk, moon rocks.Can be skipped - astronaut training facility tour (takes too much time, 1 hour). Other exhibits are just ok.One can finish the whole experience in about 3 hours if you reach early and plan the exhibits and tram tour well.Not sure if the VIP tour is worth it, did not do.The whole place definitely encourages one for space exploration. Worth a visit, but plan well.

This was fun. I felt like a kid again. It definitely takes a day if you do the Tram Tours. You should get the Historic Mission Control Tour, it is special.The trams are outside, so dress for the weather. You can bring in food, etc. At least we did, so a picnic will save you some money.Overall, I highly recommend for adults and children. There is a lot more for adults than you would expect.

Fantastic exhibits. Nice mix of history and future. I enjoyed being able to walk through models and actual aircraft. There were fun hands-on activities for the kids and kids at heart.One frustration was lack of directional signage within the buildings. We had to double back and search around to ensure we saw everything.We waited too long to get our tickets online so we were unable to take the tram tour. It was disappointing but there was already so much to do that we barely covered it all.

Very cool to see the new installations about the upcoming Artemis missions! Other standard exhibits were also good—the wall of crew photos from all USA-related space missions, the museum part with the artifacts & history, and the chance to stand inside a space shuttle! 🤩 We took the Mission Control tour on this visit as well—SO AMAZING to be in that room where some important space exploration events were connected.

My family and I visited the Space Center in Houston and it was great! Staff were courteous and helping and the facilities were very clean! We purchased the City Pass because we were only in the area for Spring break so we used it for other venues. The wait was fast. Literally, never stopped walking through the line until we arrived at purse check and then again to scan the electronic tickets. We went on a Tuesday. We spent all day there and still did not see everything. Get Tram and virtual rides tickets early because they sell out fast.The exhibits were very interesting and kept our 10 year-old daughter engaged. The two virtual rides were awesome. It was as if we were truly in space. Loved it!!We all left with huge smiles on our faces and vowed it was well worth the money and will be on our list to return to.

Very cool place. Plan a two day visit and buy the membership. Definitely purchase your tickets in advance online . Try to see 1-2 tours each day.Pros:- Amazing exhibits- Fee-based and free team tours- updated and modern exhibits- Self-serve food ordering- Low cost membership options- Paid option to have breakfast with a ( retired) automatic.Cons- Very crowded- Bathrooms do not provide toilet seat covers- Gift shop items are pricey- Hot and muggy- pay for parking

A bit crowded but overall amazing experience. Interactive exhibits and tons of NASA goodness for space fanatics. Loved learning about the upcoming Artemis missions.Food was quite good on site but a bit of a learning curve on how to order since it's all done at kiosks.The Mission Control tour stopped working during our tour which was disappointing but cool to see anyhow.We did Breakfast with an Astronaut and it was pretty fun to be able to ask questions.If your kids/family love NASA or space this is definitely must do!

My husband and I had an incredible experience visiting Space Center Houston. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the fascinating exhibits and interactive displays. The highlight was definitely the chance to see the historic Mission Control Center and learn about the incredible achievements of the space program. Walking through the exhibits showcasing actual spacecraft and equipment used by astronauts was awe-inspiring. The tram tour to NASA’s Johnson Space Center was a definite must-do, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the facilities where astronauts train. The whole experience was educational, inspiring, and left us with a profound appreciation for the achievements of space exploration.

Space Center Houston is an absolute marvel for anyone fascinated by the cosmos. Since childhood, the allure of space has captivated me, and this visit exceeded all expectations. The wealth of knowledge and the interactive exhibits make it a haven for those eager to learn and explore the mysteries of the universe. The fun-filled day was a testament to the dedication of everyone involved, from astronauts to the passionate individuals working behind the scenes. A heartfelt nod to their sacrifices and unwavering dedication to expanding our understanding of the cosmos. A must-visit for everyone, as it truly brings the wonders of space closer to home. Gratitude to all the space enthusiasts making it possible!

Very interesting place to spend the day with your family. It’s definitely a full day thing. It’s really hard to visit everything in a couple of hours. There are three tram tours which take you on the NASA campus. All of them have set departures and for the most part all departures end at 3:30. We were only able to see two of them. Mission Control and Rocket park. Best advice if you want to see everything is to get there early. The shuttle and 747 were also really interesting.

Going here was a fun experience. Looking at space equipment , how the astronauts lived on the shuttle, what they ate and experienced, was fascinating. We were there for a little longer than 3 hours trying to see everything. They had a tour shuttle which makes things easier to take in.

What a fantastic place to see space craft and learn about America's space history. You can see a complete Saturn V rocket and the space shuttle transport plane. The tour of Mission Control is great, but you need to climb 3-4 flights of stairs. Although there is an elevator for those who need it. While this tram tour is an extra cost, the rocket park tram is free. There can be a very long line for the free tram, so bring your patience. Don't get in the long line if taking the Mission Control tour, just go straight to the tram desk to check-in. I recommend buying your tickets online in advance, and they are timed entry for both the museum and tram tour. They could have better crowd control, as the line for the free tram can run all the way to the museum entrance. This place is a must see for history and space buffs, and is great for school age kids with an interest in the space program. Make time to visit here if in the area. You won't be disappointed.

In town for a wedding, visited with a family of four membership purchased online with the eclipse viewing discount, saved so much! We had a blast! Don't forget to try out the Virtual Reality spot just across from the entrance, $10 pp totally worth it! From the Shuttle to the Saturn V Rocket to all of the fantastic exhibits all held together by a superior guest services/educational facilitators/team members...all were absolutely phenomenal! Thank you!

A very fun place for the kids of all ages to learn and play. Too bad the mission control center tours are not available during weekends. The cafeteria lunch was decent for the price, a big surprise for museums.

2 stars is being polite and only because of the historic importance of the place.This place must be designed for people who experienced the first moon landing in 1969 or are extremely interested in space, because it is the most boring and effortless museum experience I have had since the 1990's. The decade where this museum must have been updated last.The experience begs for a MAJOR overhaul. It is the old school walk around look at pictures and read text museum. What a waste.This topic calls for massive interaction and involvement from the guests and there is none. A no the video games from the 90's does not count!Majority of museums understand this in 2024 - and judging by the number of guests I would think the money is there to do the overhaul.What a waste and what a money machine. 200 dollars for 4 person's including mission control😳

Very well organised; well staffed; excellent effort to explain people about space science, the progress; benefits to a common person .. etc. they close tram service by 3.00 pm,….not convenient. Many shows about the progress of NASA and present and future plans. I request them to make programs which can attract kids and change it frequently… it should not be monotonous…

This place is amazing, would recommend coming when it first opens. We got there by 930am and there was a line on a Saturday already. We reserved the blue tram when we got inside and did the tour which was super fun. Some I had little ones doing the blue tram was a better option. Also, I recommend bringing cash. The gift stores credit card machines were not working and we couldn’t get nothing. Next time, we will be more prepared. Wish we could have deep dived every corner but having toddlers it was kinda hard.Pro tip of photos, utilize your panorama setting on your phone. You’ll be able to be in the picture with rockets. Have walking shoes and water on hand. They don’t allow selfie sticks or extra camera set ups.

Visited again after many years. What a great place. So much to do and see. Lots of educational exhibits. Great gift shop. Food cost was really good considering the captive audience. Come for the day. The tram tours fill up so need to book those virtually as soon as you can. It can get crowded.

A last minute decision, but so worth it.Overwhelming amount of information, even for an almost 5hr visit.Well laid out with good amounts of room to view all displays.The Mission Control room tour was very much worth the extra $15I would definitely recommend a visit here.

Great experience for the family. A little pricey for all that's involved.Lots to learn and experience. Great photo ops and they do get you with nice pictures to purchase too.Nice gift shop, but the food court was basically closed and barely offered anything.Lots of walking and it is handicap accessible for scooters and wheelchairs.

We took our son and daughter when they were young and they had a blast, so we decided to take our sons daughter our granddaughter there. And it was not so fun anymore for a small kid, seems like everything was for and older kid 10years and older. I Remember they had Star Wars and other props that filled up the place. Now it seemed empty, not much for the younger side. We made the best of it for what was there. But not planning to go back until the granddaughter gets older where she can enjoy it better.

Highly recommend visiting here! We got there at 9:45 (10am opening) and there was already a long line to get in.We paid for the Mission Control tour & it was absolutely worth it! Also if you want to go on the astronaut training facility it is recommended that you get your “pass” from customer service right away. They were helpful & asked what time our paid tour was to make sure we got back in time & make sure they wouldn’t overlap.We got lunch in the food lab. Orders are placed & paid for on the kiosk & then picked up at the counters. It’s a little pricey, but we split the 6 chicken tender & fries, so 2 adults ate for less than $20 with a drink. It was surprisingly good for cafeteria food!We waited until later in the afternoon to go outside & see the shuttle & falcon 9. There were less people & it made the experience more enjoyable.The Down to Earth film was also really interesting & not many people were in the theater.

Amazing. Spent a whole day here and did the Mission Control Tour. Got to get there right when they open to beat the crowds. We were able explore the 747, Space Shuttle, and Falcon X rocket by ourselves without the crowds. I would go to those attractions first since the regular exhibits can wait if you are able to get in when they open. Tip - book your tickets online because you can get in an hour earlier. Their hours to the public say 10am but you can get tickets to enter in at 9am. 10/10 recommend.

I was the first one in, and last one to leave. Definitely reserve the whole day to explore this amazing place! Easiest to arrive by car or ride share, if you want lunch go early and i also recommend pre-booking your ticket and adding the "Apollo Mission Control Center" tour on as well :D

Loved walking in. The nicest staff at the front to greet you. The whole layout was well done and it was truly amazing. The food was simple and good. We LOVED the gift shop. Easy to spend a whole day there. Loved every exhibit and the movie clips. We also recommend the tours, they were awesome to see in person. The staff went above and beyond for recommendations as well.

A wonderful museum! NASA/workers did a wonderful job at the exhibitions! Very engaging and exciting to learn about so many things. Clean and organized! The workers were all nice and polite! The wait to get in was around 10mins. But there were plenty of school children.

If you want to see the history of space travel from the past to the future this museum is well worth it as long as you have a lot of money. The prices were higher than I thought that they should be. The 45 minutes to a one hour wait for the tram is way to much time to Stan in line and wait. They should have more trams.The exhibits are very well put together. There is plenty of parking g if you have an RV.

Had a great time with the family at the Space Center. Lots to do and see! Lots of learning!Would definitely recommend.The prices are pretty high though. I thought it would be a little more reasonable since they want people to come and learn.Pay for parking, pay to get in, pay for extras throughout like VR/extra tours. Food is also pricey. Again, loved it, but didn’t expect to spend so much. Plan ahead.

There seemed a lot of emphasis on the historical significance of the space station and the role it played in past missions. I would have appreciated a bit more focus on future missions. Nevertheless, a good place to bring kids along for an educational day.

Great place for visiting! Easy parking ~$10. Tram tours, cinema, lots of interesting exhibitions, Gift shops. There's a smoking area near the place where tram tours begin. It was a little bit crowded, but it's ok. Picnic area and addition restroom are near the main entrance.

Wonderful place to take your kids to teach them and inspire them. Whether on field trips or family trips this is a great place to go. I’ve always been a space nerd and I could be there all day long.Hs a great food court so there’s no need to leave for lunch.Doors open at 10 and that’s the busy time because all the schools come then.

Magnificent place to visit with the family. It took us 5 hours to tour the entire place completely. The story there is spectacular. There is a booth where you can take photos and they become a memory in your home. I recommend buying tickets online because they are cheaper. Overall the experience was phenomenal, and I loved all the exhibits. They've got historical artifacts, a tram tour, and even a moon rock which you can touch. Highly recommend!

The warmth and pleasant spirit of reach worker gets you as you enter the door. This place is like entering a while new works. The information and sights will really shed light on the uphill climb and challenges it took for space travel. There are many movie rooms, tours, real life dramatic presentations, games, problem solving rooms and simulations to explore.. It takes about 3 to 4 hours to do the tour but it's a dynamic experience

Magnificent place to visit with the family. It took us 3 to 4 hours to tour the entire place completely. The story there is spectacular. There is a booth where you can take photos and they become a memory in your home. I recommend buying tickets online because they are cheaper. And the way to pay for parking is another level. They know when you come and go without you talking to someone. You must scan the QR code that is in the parking lots and follow the instructions. It is not difficult at all. 100% recommended for people who are interested in this type of scientific topic.

Had a great day there. Payed extra for the Mission Control team which was cool and I think worth the money. Tools the rocket team tour to see the Saturn 5 rocket which was awesome - highly recommended. We missed the training facility tour and a lot of activities, should definitely dedicate a full day or two visits

Haven't been here since I was a kid but still give you a child like sense of wonder. Brought the family out for the day and had a great time. The kids really seemed to enjoy themselves. Definitely plan ahead some of the tours we wanted to do were sold out for the day. WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES!!!!!

This place is amazing!! This was my first time visiting. Everything there was very cool. From learning about Mars and the different missions to the moon and the space station. If you want to go to the mission control tour, you have to get your tickets early. They sellout fast.

Had a great time, alot of information and exhibits to experience. Gift store is typically expensive. The shuttle and carrier were nice to go inside and see. I literally spent all day here and feel like I didn't see everything. Great for kids.

Space Center Houston is incredible! There are so many fun, educational and interactive exhibits to check out. The historic exhibits are packed full of interesting information. The Mission Control center tour was spectacular. So much to see here from a Saturn V rocket, to moon rocks and more! If you are into space or STEM or have children that are interested a visit to this place is a must!

A pretty awesome inspiring place! The 747 and Space Shuttle combo is a sight to behold, as is the Saturn 5 rocket (if only it was able to be standing upright!). There wasn’t quite as much to see and do as I thought, a lot of open space in the main centre with only relatively small themed sections off to a flank, and several over internal attractions needed additional payment. So be mindful of that. Worth half a day to visit for sure.

We thought the museum was expensive at $32+ for seniors. It was clean and well organized and categorized. The employees were very friendly and helpful. Overall though, we were disappointed that there were not more rockets and artifacts that actually travelled in space. The museum was not as big as we expected and we finished looking at everything in less than 2.5 hours. Also, when we went, there were literally thousands of school kids there on tours and many of the kids were very loud and were running around wildly.

I went to Space Center Houston recently and had an amazing time. As someone who loves space and all things space-related, this place was a dream come true. I've also been to the Kennedy Space Center, and Space Center Houston definitely lived up to my expectations.Walking around and looking at all the exhibits was incredible. From actual spacecraft to interactive displays, it was all fascinating. They had so much to see and do, and I felt like a kid in a candy store with all the cool space stuff around me.One of the highlights was seeing the actual Apollo 17 command module and the Saturn V rocket—it's just mind-blowing to see these pieces of history up close. The tram tour was also super fun and informative, giving a behind-the-scenes look at NASA's Johnson Space Center.I would definitely go back and recommend Space Center Houston to anyone who is into space. It’s a must-visit if you're in the area. Whether you're a space enthusiast or just looking for a fun and educational outing, this place has something for everyone. Can't wait for my next visit!

A fantastic experience! The place is very well put together, and well taken care of! The prices in the cafe and at the gift shops were reasonable. My only complaint was the lack of information for visiting the command center. We didn't know you needed a reservation, so we weren't able to see it.

Just such a great experience. Lots of young kids the day we went, but it was a Friday before spring break. Your mileage may vary. I do recommend getting tickets for entrance and tickets for the tram tours in advance. They only had the generic tram tour available when we went. The one that brings you out to the Saturn IV shed. Lots of great info. Kids will enjoy looking and wondering. Adults will enjoy that as well as reading all the great info graphics.

I've lived in the Houston area for many years but this was my first time going to Nasa. I went with my daughter for her 5th grade field trip. I was really impressed with the space center. It was a lot of fun and very interesting! I liked the gift shop. I bought a shirt and astronaut ice cream bar. I would definitely go back and take my whole family. It was pretty busy the day we went. There were several schools there doing field trips.

My experience at NASA Space Center Houston was very pleasant overall. There is a lot of fun information to take in for both kids and parents to enjoy. Every staff member was very kind and patient with every child who had a curious question or needed help. The only downsides I found during my visit were the out of service stations and damaged electronics for certain activities. I understand that kids can be very rough on the equipment, but many of those items look to have been either out of service or damaged for a long time.Overall, there are lots of cool things to look at and experience. Many areas to take fun family or group photos. The gift shop has a myriad of fun little things and clothes at many price ranges. Would definitely visit again.

Very disappointed, me and my friends expected more. It felt like we kept seeing all the same things. Very crowded and felt like a tourist destination. Some of the attractions inside you have to pay extra money. The food and drinks aren’t worth it, I was really expecting space themed food. Definitely not worth having a membership pass unless you’re a school who brings kids here frequently.

I absolutely loved going to the space center and would recommend everyone to go. There were lots of exhibits showing the actual items used in space exploration, including being able to walk through the space shuttle.I went on the rocket Park Excursion and was impressed to see the actual Saturn 5 rocket. I had no idea how big it's really truly was. The excursion to see the command center was sold out, so I would recommend buying those tickets in advance.There are lots of things to walk around and see, and when you get tired, you can sit down in the movie theater and watch a video or catch a presentation.

A truly amazing day out. However, I would recommend allowing more than one day for your visit. The online itinerary on their website says it can be done in a single day but it's simply not possible once you account for queue waiting times!

There’s a lot of history here. I wouldn’t book a flight to come to Houston and visit but if in the area or driving through then by all means stop in. Can get crowded but it’s spacious. There’s two gift shops. The smaller one usually has no lines and you can get an array of items to save time. Check out the live feed weather monitor for Mars. Pretty cool

Absolutely worth visiting. The space crafts, space programs, history and the progress made is amazing to know.Wish we could’ve spent more time but will visit soon.The best of science is into space exploration.

Absolutely amazing and worth every penny. It was about $170 for our family of 6 (3 adults, 3 kids). Worth every penny. I only wish we had gone earlier. We arrived at 11am and left at 6:20pm. It closed at 6pm but they didn't kick us out of the gift shop!But we could have easily spent another 3 hours there to see more things. There are areas we hardly got to and we did only one off-site tour and had wanted to do at least the two free ones. Also with the off-site free tours, some you can just go gr get in the bus line and others you need to book the second you arrive. As I mentioned we arrived at 11am and we got the LAST tickets available for the day for the mockup station. So do that immediately upon arrival.They take photos of you upon arrival. If course that is a money grab but it's a 4 fun one and I think it was worth it. I think it was $35 for a load of digital pics of your crew with a bunch of great backgrounds.But yeah, we missed several things. I would totally go here again if we're ever in the area and recommend it to all. Such a great hands-on learning experience for our kids (and the adults).Very cool food court! High tech as I guess you would expect. You order everything on computers and wait for your number to come up. A bit like Costco I guess! 😂. But you can order from various places. We got pizza in the food court and bbq (pulled pork and beef) from the food truck outside. I cannot express just how good that bbq was. Wow! I want it now! But the food court was VERY pricey. Worth bringing your own picnic (except I can't remember if you're allowed to bring outside food. i think I saw people eating their own food there).We also enjoyed buying some freeze-dried astronaut ice cream from the gift shops! (among many other things)Overall a fantastic day. Every staff member we met was incredibly helpful and friendly.Tips:-Go early-no selfie sticks allowed-There are water fill stations-get tickets for the off-site tours immediately-get your pictures at the end of the day. They won't kick you out. Ours were somehow done wrong in the computer and we were given someone else's! So they did new photos for us end of day no problem.- parking lot is paid via phone. I don't know what you do if you don't have a phone. We are from Canada and you can only pay if you give your phone number and it texts you. But our numbers were switched off for our journey so we could not pay so we just didn't and received no ticket thankfully!Have fun! It's an amazing day!

This museum has way more than you think! I especially liked the fantasy coffins. Great piece of artwork by a man from Ghana. The museum was also a lot bigger than I had originally thought. They have lots of vintage hearses on display and other interesting exhibits. If you are in the area, visit this museum. You won't regret it.

This was super interesting and I loved reading everything about the history of objects and funerals. Even though I am not catholic or even Christian I found the history of the Popes funerals extremely interesting and I also really enjoyed the different burials and Funeral histories. Definitely recommend!

Neat, educational, and unexpected. This museum had so many interesting hearses, coffins, and history of funeral customs. There's even an international section. Also, clean bathroom and plenty of AC if you want to beat the summer heat. Totally worth a visit!

I had no idea how extensive this collection was. It took over 2 hours to see everything! There are so many items and informative plaques. This museum has put an extensive effort into the collection and display of funerary knowledge. 10/10 will return

Absolutely amazing.I can’t believe it took me so long to get here.I’m thrilled so many schools do field trips here.I would fallen in love with history at such a younger age.Whether you go left or right —you’ll start with some big history either way. We went towards the dead presidents and made our way to the popes. In between are amazing vehicles.There’s an entertainment section.As well, as history of mourning and cremation.I could’ve stayed there for hours.I learned so much.Beautiful displays and so tastefully done. Nothing was morbid or sick.I feel I could go back once a month and see/learn something new. And with only a $10 entry fee—it’s absolutely feasible to do that.The gift shop is the only time I’ve felt moved to buy something.This place is truly a treasure for the Greater Houston community.

We had to visit this place. It’s such a great experience to come here. A ton of history and some of the best exhibits. A lot of presidential burial history and items. Most of the exhibits are very well done. This place is huge. Loved all of the different areas that are covered from all over the world. A must see if you ask me.

This visit has been on my wishlist for a few months! There is everything from Presidential funeral information, celebrity memorabilia, funeral coaches and cars to religious exhibits. Everything was neatly displayed and easy to read. Photos are allowed. Give yourself 2-3 hours for a leisurely stroll.

This museum is amazing! They have a beautiful collection of hearses throughout time and lots of interesting pieces of funerary history. The exhibits were well lit and easy to read and navigate. It has been one of my favorite museums I've ever visited.

My wife and I brought our son to this museum the last couple of years to a trunk-or-treat car show they host. We love it! 🎃

Loved it. Who would have thought a morbid subject could produce an interesting museum? The funeral carriages from the pre automobile era and the early hearses have amazing workmanship.

Place is large and tastefully done. Nothing macabre or creepy about it. It’s informative and interesting. Covers politicians, celebrities, regular everyday folks, the Pope, and Jesus. It’s clean and wasn’t busy when I attended. Nice to walk around and not have to wait to see exhibits. If you enjoy wandering cemeteries and reading headstones, this is for you! Gift shop to purchase items as you enter/exit.

Awesome museum near Houston, one of the more unique and content-rich ones around here. Not a large place but has a lot of artifacts, weird facts and interesting history around the culture of funeral. Nicely organized and separated into various sections. I'd recommend spending about three hours here, I went for a bit less than two hours and definitely did not have enough time to browse through everything this place had to offer.

Great museum. There was a lot to read, so definitely allow a bit of time to visit. Lots of interesting things to look at as well as interactive displays. Gift shop was pretty awesome too. It was a great place to spend the day in Houston.

Excellent museum! We have enjoyed this museum numerous times. We go back about once a year and the temporary exhibits are always interesting. And the permanent exhihits continue to amaze me. We love the scavenger hunt but I would suggest walking through the museum slowly first then do the scavenger hunt. This is so you can observe and enjoy the exhibits first before getting into a scavenger and miss something. We like this museum because we get educated, in a gentle, informative way about the processes taking place after people die. There is nothing morbid or gross or scary about the exhibits. They are all well thought out and selected to communicate a specific process in the death & burial processes of ours and other cultures.

This place is a hidden gem! SO interesting! We loved it. I not sure children would find it of interest but my husband and I really enjoyed our time there!

This was such a fascinating and interesting museum! There's a few relics from different celebrities including a pair of shoes Robin Williams wore during RV and a funerary hand out from Dr. King's funeral. There's plenty to read and plenty to lear. Currently, they have an exhibit regarding the shroud of Turin and it was very informative. The git shop lady was an absolute peach!

I consider myself a taphophile, someone who likes cemeteries and funerals. When I found this museum while planning for free time during a work trip I was super excited. It was a cool museum but I felt like it could have been better.A lot of the displays seemed random, not super tied to funerals.That said, there was a section on famous people's funeral cards and programs. That was fun going through it although I'd have liked to flip through them (they were understandably behind glass). At the very least it would be cool to have digital copies I could scan a QR to access to flip through.The display on the Shroud of Turin was also a highlight, super fascinating and provoking to the imagination. Also, Kane Quaye's fantasy coffins were fun.Ultimately, I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it but I felt the ticket price was a little higher than it was worth.

Out of the spots we chose to see during vacation, this was the furthest drive and glad we did. We went on a Monday before lunch, with no wait.Like other reviewers mentioned, it’s not macabre. We loved the information packed into this museum. It showcased US Presidents’ funerals, info on embalming, clothing worn, Papal funerals, options available for yourself and loved ones when deceased, and the different vehicles used as ambulances/hearses. Wish it had more about funeral customs around more parts of the world, besides the few countries it did.Thank you for getting the Shroud of Turin exhibit. It’s beautifully done.The interactive quizzes were fun. We earned our 10% off and got some cute gifts from the museum shop.

Death is something I've never been afraid of, and I don't view it as macabre. Still, I didn't really know what to expect when we arrived at the National Funeral Museum.It was tastefully and respectfully done. Yes, a few things were a little off-putting, like the old embalming machine and replica crematorium chamber, but mostly the museum paid tribute to many celebrities and historical figures as well as death traditions and customs. Some of it made me melancholy, but only briefly. Mostly it was interesting and I learned a lot. I would definitely recommend for history and museum buffs and folks who like to go off the beaten path for activities.

Omg my husband and I absolutely LOVED the museum. We happened to come for the pushing daisies market and really enjoyed all of the informative exhibits. Will definitely be back again!

I have been here several times.If you're looking for unique places, this is a must visit museum. It's not what you think. There is a lot of history here.For a moving experience, visit three Journey of the Shroud to Houston.I can guarantee that you will enjoy yourself.

I found this place fascinating. It wasn't morbid, or creepy, or 'dark'.There's a nice section on President Funerals. Some items are authentic, while others are nicely done copies.There's also sections on the Pope's, celebrities, and Jesus.Everything you ever wanted to know about embalming, hearses from the mid-1800 to current, hearses for the famous. The customs for mourning from the 19th century and other countries.If you like quirky or unusual, and like History, this is the place to visit!Took us just under two hours to see it all. A wheelchair could easily go through the museum. Probably not a place to bring younger children. Not because of the subject, but because there is a lot of No Touching.There is a gift shop. The prices are pretty much in line with any other gift shop (ie: tshirts were $20. A shotglass was $7)

Very interesting place.We were in Houston for a day before a cruise out of Galveston. My friends were skeptical but agreed to come. We pulled into the parking lot in almost didn't go in. It is in a sketchy neighborhood with very secure fencing around the parking lot. There are signs in the parking lot saying They are not responsible for personal vehicles. However when I walked in there was a security guard who sits in front of cameras monitoring the parking lot. I do have to say the security guard did not have much of a personality however. The only other employee we found was the woman at the cash register, slow was an understatement.I also was concerned about accessibility for a wheelchair. That was no problem either.We ended up spending over 2 hours here. Grab a scavenger hunt when you walk in, makes it even more interesting looking for the answers.Many different rooms for different interests. A room with celebrities, the Pope. Presidents. Interesting customized caskets.I love their slogan any day above ground is a good one.

This was an amazing museum way bigger than I expected. They have lots of fascinating exhibits including the Vatican replica of the shroud of Turin, right of papal death, presidential deaths, history of embalming and it's Egyptian origins, many interesting herses throughout history that are in great condition (no one better to care for a vehicle than an undertaker as they are often garaged and cleaned regularly), as well as fascinating coffins including one made of glass and one that was made for three people. Definitely worth checking out. I even got a tour from a worker that is only there on Thursdays, but he made my experience so mu h more interesting giving me a lot of history I might have missed if I went through on my own.

We enjoyed our experience here at the museum. The place is a lot larger than we expected. Took us about an hour and half to walk through but you could spend all day here!

This museum is awesome, we had the best morning here. Rob, our volunteer tour guide was awesome and peppered our experience with interesting information and anecdotes. He says he is only there on Thursdays, so try to schedule a trip then! The theological context is interesting in the Catholic section of the museum, but it would be exciting to expand the collection to include non-Eurocentric or non-Christian approaches to death. Would also really benefit from more information on more alternative approaches to end of life processes. The work of Caitlin Doughty would be an example. We had a great time and would highly recommend you to anyone visiting Houston.

Best exhibits are updated frequently. Well worth the money. It is kind of out the way but worth my time as I have been there with my kids, but of town visitors and even a date. Lol

This was a really cool experience. There was a lot more than I expected here. There are a few interactive components. I went by myself this time, but will definitely be bringing my kids back with me.

Amazing museum to visit with my family! Very educational and informative even to my non-morbid family. Thanks so much for the great couple of hours

This was actually an impressive museum. I didn’t have many expectations coming in to this but it was really nice. The exhibits are well done and very informative.

My parents and I went to visit this museum because we went to see the replica of the Shroud of Turrin, which was amazing. Enjoyed every bit of this museum. They had some really cool stuff. I really like their display of Día de los muertos. It was neat that we were there on Good Friday, so I didn't have to miss work since we had the day off. Their gift shop has reasonable prices too! I'm definitely going back again later in the future. The best part of all is that there is no line to get in either!!!

I am just leaving the Whodunnit Dessert show, and it was awesome!!! The host was very entertaining and the atmosphere was very comfortable and welcoming. I appreciated not being confined to a table and being able to walk the different rooms looking at clues. I'd like to give 4.5 stars but can't so I give 4 stars because dessert (chocolate cake) was super dry and lemonade wasn't very good. If you're considering this place, do give it a try.

We went on Wednesday night for an Outta Time mystery session - it was just awesome. From the minute you arrive to the coffee shop to solving the mystery and stopping the bomb, the experience was great! We recommend it for a group of 2-3 couples or 6 people! 😊 Afterwords you can even hang out and play board games.

We attended their Murder Mystery Dinner while visiting family in Houston. The place was a blast. We loved the decor and thought that the food was delicious. It was great how the guests were incorporated into the show and helped tell the story. We would definitely come again if we return to the area.

We booked a Murder Mystery dinner for a friend's birthday. The food was good, but there was too little of it for some with our group.The mystery part of the dinner was neat,Mostly, we just enjoyed the armosphere before the event.I would like to go back only for the coffee and dessert . Loved the setup and being able to play games and have incredible coffee.

My wife is shy and doesn't like to get outside of her comfort zone. That said she was reluctant to come with me when I bought a Groupon for the "Outta Time" event. Within minutes of walking inside she was grinning from ear to ear. Amazing decor with a good dose of humor mixed in, good coffee that is average in terms of pricing, and a mystery game that is well thought out. It was a blast, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out.

The Butler was amazingly funny and very kind and energetic. The atmosphere was friendly and one of a kind . I loved the energy with the crew from the very moment you enter the theatre. The dessert was chocolate cake, chocolate covered strawberries cheesecake, etc.. My husband surprised me for our 1 Year Anniversary .:)

Love, Love, Love this mystery dinner theatre! Audience members get handpicked to participate and the whole storyline is unpredictable. Good food, Great entertainment. The plays change frequently so you can go back to your hearts content. They offer birthday and anniversary packages just to name a couple. There's other shows and activities that they host. I highly recommend this for a good time. Appropriate for ALL ages.

Great, fun, family atmosphere! Came here with some friends. The entire night was well organized and a lot of fun. It's a desert theatre show with most of the cast made up of other guests reading from scripts. An all you can eat sort of desert bar leads off the night with coffee, water and tea to drink. Then after you eat the show begins. A classic "who dun it" style show where most of the time involves breaking into teams of two or three and reading through clues to determine the culprit. The first team to figure it out gets a prize, but the biggest takeaway is fun and laughs. The host of the show was fantastic. He made a strong effort to remember everyone's name (out of 30 or so people) and even went around the room at the end of the show and thanked each person individually by name!Kid friendly, and alcohol allowed so everyone can have a great time whatever you're after. We honestly had a great time and have already planned to go back in the next 6 months.

I love this place. Took my sweety here for sweetest day, the dinner was terrific the storyline was even better. We really enjoyed ourselves, would recommend anyone to try it out. Especially if you like interacting with new people & feeling apart of the show. Can't wait to return for "out of time!"

Great fun for the whole family of 4 that day. We purchased the all activity pass for Lazer Tag, Pool Table, Golf, and Bowling. We played and ate for hours. Spent about $200. on food, drinks, and fun memories for 6 hours of fun near home!

Joshy Poo was a phenomenal manager. It's always clean and fun. Go before noon and it's 21.oo for an.all day pass to everything there. If your not worried about points, you can get a 20.oo arcade card with unlimited play to moat of the games. Well worth it for adults and kids. Thus was a going away for 2 of my adult boys into the Army! They made it such an amazing time!!!Again thank you Deshan and "Joshy Poo" for hooking us up for this celebration HOOAH!!!

I have been to MainEvent on 45 millions of times and always had a pleasant experience. Today was a huge mistake bringing the kids here for food & fun. We went to order a pizza they system was down so we had to order at the bar ok fine no biggie… I spoke with a nice lady that helped me find a table she made sure it was clean and she made sure my bar order was delivered to the table very nice lady. I got a menu to order drinks for the kids long before the food came. So the food comes to the table and I asked who was the waiter because I wanted to order drinks. He said he will find out and never comes back. We sat and waited. I had to get up and asked for plates to eat. A waiter went got the plates and didn’t bother to count the people at the table so she only gave 4 plates to a 6 people table. Now we have currently been sitting in this booth for over a hour and all the waitress walks by and not even ask do we need anything…I’m sitting in the booth as a type this review just watching. I really regret bringing the kids here I mean we ate pizza off the pizza tray and we wasn’t even offered a cup of water ….. NEVER AGAIN

I just want to take A moment to thank this establishment! We came in with a crew full of children and one special-needs child with cancer. We had no idea if they would accommodate or facilitate our needs, but they did every step of the way. The management was amazing. The servers were fantastic and all along the way they made sure that our family felt welcome. They facilitated all of our needs when it came to the laser tag and bowling. Would suggest this company 10 out of 10. Ivory and Ryan have been exceptional. They have been kind and accommodating all along the way. We appreciate this local business Ryan was super helpful in making sure that our kids were able to participate in all the fun. Ivory was amazing, he was kind and generous with his smiles. He made sure our family felt comfortable and welcome in the the establishment. He made sure we were well taken care of every step of the way. 10/10 one of our favorite places to spend time and money!! Ivory is also cancer survivor and we appreciate everything he was able to help our friends and family with!! He was a kind face in a dark time

Went my my birthday. Me and my girl's family showed up to celebrate. Played bowling, black light mini golf, and billards. Next it's just me and her. Game On!!

It's Main Event, this is a great place to bring kids or just hang out. They have something for everyone to do. If you are an adult and want to have a drink (beer) it's expensive, one beer runs a little over $5 per bottle domestic (Bud Light). I suggest if you want more than one beer, order the bucket. You will get (5) beers for $18 you do the math. My favorite is the chicken sandwich, but they have more than one I like the regular. If you like spicy 🔥 order the Nashville Chicken Sandwich. If you don't want either or just have it grilled. They have other items to offer like wings, nachos, pizza, burgers, salad ect .. not too bad for a giant game room. The only bad thing was that, it took forever to receive my food and I'm not talking 10-15 minutes more like 30-40 min. I didn't expect that because it was a weekday and it wasn't crowded 😡. Overall the kids were good, that's what really counted! Happy Gaming!

It was our first time, but we enjoyed. The sign said 21.99 all you can play, and I was paying for 2 ppl, and my total was 55.00, I didn't understand that, if there has been a price change the board need to be updated. They have a lot of great games to play, you do have to purchase a play card, the games are a little expensive. The bowling just ended in the 6th frame of our third game, and I'm sure time is limited so others can play, but that should be communicated or the system should be set up to end at the end of the 3rd round. The food was very good but it took the waiter awhile to come back with the extra things we asked for. I love that you can put your pic on your bowling profile. We enjoyed lazy tag as well. Didn't get a chance to try out the pool tables, maybe next time.

What do you do in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week when it's your birthday and you have the day off & you dont want to feel old, but due to adult commitments you can't go out of town...you act like a kid and go to Main Event. My family and I had a blast bowling, playing indoor glow in the dark putt putt golf, arcade games and more! They have pool tables, shuffle board, karaoke room and lazer tag too. I haven't felt like a kid in years until Main Event. You buy the all day pass for $24.99 per person and have unlimited access to all of the above experiences except for the arcade. The arcade you have to pay for the games, BUT they have deals on arcade game cards, ask them for details. You just load the card and swipe at the individual arcade games. We had so much fun we put $50 on it and played games for hours. But everything else is included in the one time $24.99 fee day pass. You just cant beat it! If you want all day family fun at a very reasonable price, I fully recommend Main Event. P.S. They gave me a free Strawberry Soda Candy filled drink for my birthday! Check out the pic! Like I said, I felt like a kid again ;)

This place is always clean every time I visit no matter what time of day! The food is good! I was expecting many fried and "bar food" items, but I was surprised with the healthy options available. I had the grilled chicken sandwich, delicious. The service was amazing! Our server was Kaylee, and she's kind, personable, and went above & beyond when we told her we were celebrating our daughter's 9th birthday. She brought a scoop of ice cream & really made our daughter feel special. Highly recommend you visit if you're looking for a variety of activities & games to do with the family.

My husband and I took our 2 kids and their uncles. We all had a blast. We got the all you can play option for 19.99 each and it was well worth it. We stayed and played for 6hrs 😱😱Definitely a place we will be going again and will 100% recommend to everyone.

Wonderful time to enjoy a party with all your Friends and Family. Good place to take your kids, teens, or young adults to have fun with their friends. The Employees are helpful and don't hesitate to help you out. Definitely recommend it to everyone to come on out and Enjoy y'all selfs

This location is adding a new virtual game in place of the Lucky game that was there. The food and drinks are always good and our server was great!

Highly recommend, great friendly staff! Loved bowling 🎳 great food, laser tag was good too. Had a great night celebrating with my kids! Will definitely be going more often, but with hubby to enjoy the bar, some pool, and bowling! 🎱🎱🎱🎳🎳🎳

We had a fantastic time visiting this location. The bowling was normally priced and fun for the family. The arcade section was fun but pretty pricey. Definitely a place we will go back to, but not all the time. The staff was exceptional and we did enjoy it, so you get what you pay for applies here. There is laser tag and mini-golf that we did not try, so I can't speak to that. Very clean and neat and everything worked.

Awesome Bowling Spot! Food and Drinks are good as well!! We loved it!!

Excellent service! Came here for my 21st birthday and had the best time. Special shout-out to Ivory he was a great employee and really helped us out!

Main event has always been a fun spot, loaded with activities that can be enjoyed by kids and adults. As a teacher, I was looking forward to building rapport with students and closing the year out with a great field trip.Our district brought countless students from multiple campuses. Teachers arrived to discover that we were not included in the overall cost of admission, food, or drinks, like prior years.

Main Event offers a fantastic range of entertainment options, from bowling and laser tag to arcade games and billiards. The venue is clean and well-organized, with a lively atmosphere that’s perfect for group outings or family fun. The food and drinks are decent, though a bit pricey. Staff are generally friendly and attentive, adding to the positive experience. However, it can get crowded during peak times, which might lead to wait times for some activities. Overall, it's a great place for a fun day or night out with a variety of activities to enjoy.

Ivory greeted us with charisma and kindness upon arrival. From start to finish we couldn’t be happier with our decision to come to main event Webster. This venue is family friendly and rated E for everyone! Definitely will be visiting again in the future.

We celebrated our daughter's 19th birthday recently. She wanted it at the Main Event, so I reached out to the Main Event. Alie, the Event Coordinator reached out to me and helped me with the planning. She was excellent. The day before the event, I received a call confirming the event and making sure everything was set. When we arrived, they were waiting for our arrival. We had a room to ourselves. There was a buffet set up with several different pizza’s, salad and breadsticks. The food was fresh and very good. The cheese and Pepperoni Pizza went first, so they kept that restocked for the kids. Once we were done eating, we went to the bowling section. They had 2 lanes reserved for us. We had no problems with the lanes. We completed the night with the games. Every staff member we interacted with that night was very kind and helpful. Overall, everyone had a very good time. I would highly recommend the Main Event.

Celebrated my brother and sister birthday here this year. Everybody had fun! Ivory and Krystal staff at the restaurant was super nice and helpful

Had the most fun experience here many games to choose from including Bowling and laser tag. The drinks and bar were very delicious. It was our first time and ivory was very helpful and guided us through the process.

Ivory is the BEST! Super helpful and beyond nice! Knew every answer to our many questions! So glad we came to Main Event on our family vacation! Thanks again Ivory!!!! Special shoutout to Paige who recommended coming to this fun venue!!!!!!

Ivory was so helpful! He greeted us as soon as we walked in and he even remembered who we were from last time! He definitely makes our visit enjoyable and we always look forward to seeing him when we come. Thank you for having great staff! Also the fried pickles are to die for!

Love bringing my nephews here for an afternoon. Great place for gaming, bowling, laser tag, billiards, etc. My only complaint is that the price to play (more than a few games) in the arcade was a bit steep. However, Main Event has great package deals for the summer.

Had a great birthday at the Main Event. Service was awesome thanks to Ivory. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Had a great time today at Main Event with my family visiting out of town! They have a large selection of games, a nice full bowling ally, and also mini gulf! I definitely recommend for a day of fun or just hanging out with friends! Big thanks to Ivory also!!

Carli did a great job taking care of us was very attentive and ivory was awesome as well very welcoming and quick to help they were both awesome!!

Came to a party and the party hostess savanna was great did a great job and not to mention the supervisor Yesenia was just amazing she was very sweet and attentive to what we needed, always looking to see if we needed anything. Although the party was over she was still helping and giving us suggestions on the menu. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family members .

For this game the roof was closed, but even then there is a large window that lets in plenty of natural light. Overall the stadium was easy to navigate, the staff was friendly and helpful when I had questions. It was $1 hit dog night on Tuesdays and they were excellent. These were not a discount version of a hot dog the meat was plump with a nice "snap" when I bit into it and the buns were very good. Overall this was a great experience at the ballpark and to top it off the 'Stros won!

We came here to watch an Astros game vs Red Sox. Our experience was wonderful.If you don’t mind to walk you can save some money parking a few blocks far from the stadium, the area is nice and safe.Bring only small bags because big ones are not allowed. They check on them on the entrance but in my opinion staff is professional doing this revision.We came on Dogs Night and it was a good deal, but the line is too long, so, its better arrive early to avoid missing part of the game. They also have self-check out for beer and that makes it faster than in a normal stand. Food and beverages are pricey but it is normal in this kind of venues.The stadium is wonderful with AC to avoid the outside heat. Sittings are a little tight. And ambiance is healthy with a lot of families and friends just trying to spend a good quality time. Definitely a good option to spend a warm evening in Houston.

Wow it's big. It was very exciting to be here. The home of the Houston Astros. Heb put on a neat festival. We were able to run/walk the bases and overall have a great time.

Came to Houston just to watch a couple of games with Tampa Bay Rays. The stadium and staff are great!! We saw aSaturday night game and Sunday day game. We did not have any problems either game. My grandson and I both had on Rays shirts and the Houston fans were all nice towards us. We took the pre game park tour on Friday and I would highly recommend it. We sat in section 115 for a game and 314 for the other one. Both views were good. You also have to try the Crawford Dog it was amazing! The park also has a large selection of craft beers. Only negative thing is the prices but that is true for all ball parks. Best part of trip is that Rays won both games!

If you are a baseball fan and you love the outdoors you have to come to minute Maid Park. The Astros are awesome watch and experience the moments. The stadium is phenomenal. Even better take a look at the Suites and see how they throw down

This park is pretty awesome. Service dog compliant, friendly staff, and great sports environment. Especially fond the mega screen clarity at the feet of the park. The seats are mostly comfortable, although the temperature in the arena isn't actually cool. Rather on the tepid side . People spacing is cramped, but I guess it is what is to be expected at a venue like this.

Haven't found a terrible seat here yet. Been to multiple games and have sat all around the field. Prices are very affordable. I've seen tickets as low as 29 dollars so affordable for any budget

August 2023:It’s always fun to get a chance to see my Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in person. This stadium may have some age but proved to be a timeless design and been duplicated for good reasons. The concourse areas has plenty of food and drink options, team stores, team history memorabilia, and bars. Every year there seems to be something new giving this place a fresh look.This night saw them play against the Los Angeles Angels and I sat in the Honda Club Level. I noticed from the last time I was in here this place has been completely renovated with upgraded food options, new decor, and team store, but still has that luxurious atmosphere from the professional and courteous staff. I had a great site line of the field, perfect view of the giant video screen, and comfortable seats. Some people sit up and just socialize, but was able to tune them out.There’s plenty of small to large parking sports around the ballpark and short walk to the METRORail station. Or like me have a driver take you there and back. Overall it’s a great way to spend part of your day or night having a good time and cheer on the Houston Astros.

This stadium and their staff are excellent! If you need Season Tickets, hit up Jeff Troncoso in the Season Ticket office. Jeff had us come down to the stadium and actually walk to different seats. He spent a lot of time walking us through seating, game plans and pricing options. If you want to make an investment in season tickets, these guys will walk you through everything! Thanks Jeff and Go Astros!

Home of the Astros. The staff were top notch and extremely helpful. The stadium itself isn’t as user friendly to get too with public transportation like other ballparks. However the food options and the views more than make up for the lack of transportation. This is a wonderful ballpark and I do recommend coming here. However just keep in mind the transportation needs and there isn’t really much to do outside in close proximity to the stadium of outside activities. If you do want food you will have to walk a few blocks to get good food or just eat inside the ballpark.

Took an “All-Star” tour of the stadium. It was 2 hours and very fun. If you have some spare time in Houston, I would definitely recommend checking it out. It cost $25 and is WELL worth it. Even if you’re not a big baseball fan, you’ll enjoy getting to see this stadium.

I have to give this place 4 stars. I was here for 2 games vs phi and vs sf. I had a great time at a beautiful ballpark. Here is the problem it was perfect weather in Texas that weekend and the roof was closed, I still don’t understand why you have a retractable roof and you never use it. To add insult they opened the roof after the game maybe to air out the fireworks, I’m not sure. By the time I made it out of the stadium the roof was completely open. Great atmosphere. This was one of the most merch’d out games I’ve ever been too, I was one of the only people there not wearing Astros gear. I also like the tradition of singing Deep In The Heart of Texas after the 7 inning stretch.

Great ball park!!! Very family oriented!!! You feel safe here security is great as well as the guest services !! For concerts or baseball games this is the best stadium in Houston !!!

I had a great time getting to see Guns n' Rose's and Alice in Chains at this venue! This was my first time here, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The venue was clean and cool insid, considering how hot it was when I was there. There were plenty of concession and drink areas to accommodate the huge crowd that was there for the show. Our seats were almost on the floor, and the view was pretty good. I hope to visit again whenever possible.

I have been here a few times for Astros games. It’s big but still manageable for those that can not handle big places and too many people. They are cordial pleasant and cleaning up throughout the event. Bathrooms are always being cleaned usually no lines. I’m not a huge fan of the food available on the regular floors but they do have better food for the VIP folks.

As far as baseball season.. 🧡⚾️💙Budweiser Brew House is phenomenal! Food + service have always been great and the view is perfect!

Went yesterday and twas quite nice, the beer was much expensive but I liked the goofy ahh pig and the fireworks at the end were very pretty and gave a great view of the city. Mr monkey was sad (uwu), because we lost but she still likes watching the Astros play.Mr monkey approves🦧👍🏽

Minute Maid Park, home of the 2-time World Series champs Astros, is an absolute gem in the heart of Houston and a must-visit for any baseball fan. The stadium boasts an electrifying atmosphere that makes every game an unforgettable experience. The roar of the crowd, the crack of the bat, and the excitement in the air create an ambiance that's second to none. The food options are top-notch, with a variety of delicious choices ranging from classic ballpark fare like hot dogs and nachos to more gourmet selections like brisket sandwiches and loaded baked potatoes. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality and variety on offer. The seating is comfortable, with great views from virtually every spot in the park, ensuring you won't miss a moment of the action. Entertainment options abound, from the lively pre-game shows to the engaging activities between innings, keeping fans of all ages entertained. The park's location in downtown Houston is convenient, with plenty of nearby attractions to explore before or after the game. The amenities are excellent, with clean and modern restrooms, a wide range of vendors offering unique merchandise, and helpful staff ensuring a smooth experience. Parking is plentiful and well-organized, making arrival and departure a breeze. All in all, Minute Maid Park delivers a top-tier baseball experience that combines great sports, fantastic food, and a vibrant atmosphere, making it a standout destination for both locals and visitors.

I've been seeing a lot of concerts here lately. The sound seems better than it used to be. I still think it's way too big for shows. We are usually in the 1st band around the floor, but the upper decks are so far away that the stage must look like a flea circus. Also, the bathrooms seem insufficient for the size of the place.. always lines, especially for women. As ballpark stadiums go, it's very nice. I love the retractable roof.

A day with this handsome guy is always pleasant. We really enjoyed the game and for the price, the seats were great. We got there early and received a free gift, courtesy of the Astros. My husband and I will definitely be attending another game or two this season.

Went to see the Astros. Wanted the full American baseball experience and it was great. Huge place and a bit confusing to navigate but the staff were extremely kind and helpful. Difficult to describe if you've never been but it's chaotic and exciting. Great views from pretty much all the seats. Loads of classic food options plus a few bars. Download the ticket app before you go to avoid any faff. Getting a taxi afterwards was a nightmare so plan ahead. Highly recommend a visit to a match here if you are visiting Houston

Wonderful experience!! The stadium was conveniently located, plenty of parking, and east getting into the stadium. The facilities were clean and the staff/ushers were great!!! My son enjoyed his very first MLB game here and the train in the outfield was his favorite!!

Excellent! Minute Maid park run so effectively, efficiently, all of their staff is very professional and ready to help you find your seats or a RR. Great Ball Park for a wonderful game experience!!

Easy to navigate through the Facility to find your Seats. Plenty of food & beverage choices as well. Along with Astros games, Concerts are also a common Event. Plenty of Parking Lot options surrounding the Facility.

Love love love this stadium! Been here several times for Astros Games staff is always helpful, restroom are always clean and food is decent!I have family here from out of town and they just loved it as well!We went on Hello Kitty night and sad that even tho we got there semi early we didn’t get a hat! Other than that we were all very pleased!

Very nice ballpark... the fastest entry ever with the MLB app and Go Ahead Entry (facial recognition program). They have a huge selection of concession stands, but I miss the people venders (concessionaires???) at your seat.

Minute Maid Park, home of the Astros, and a great night for baseball - roof closed & still a bit warm, but who’s complaining.Lights, cameras & 10 innings of action with the Astros winning.This was my first trip to Minute Maid & enjoyed the game & venue a lot.

My first MBA game! Absolutely loved it and can't wait to go again. My husband and I took my daughter and her family. Even though my grandsons are still very young, I think they really enjoyed it. Go Astros!!

Great ballpark. Nice drink and food selection. Parking was easy and the entrance was quick. The energy in there is great! My family enjoyed every second of it. Can't wait to go back.

This is a great baseball park and city. Lots of food and vendor options. Prices are reasonable. Fans are energetic and friendly. The outfield fence dimensions allow for lots of offense, so pitchers need to be at their best. It was a great night of baseball.

This park is beautiful and has so many food choices!! I really enjoyed seeing all the different choices of food they offer. The stores are fast service and very convenient with the kiosk ordering system loved it.🧡🇨🇱⚾️🍺

Had a wonderful time experiencing Minute Made Park! The Space City Astros put on a great game for a special day of baseball! The Jackie Robinson Day Celebrations were thoughtful and well put together! You must visit! 🧑‍🚀 💫 ⚾️ 🍿

Pleasantly surprised with the whole ballgame experience from parking to stadium design and functionality. Food was decent. Maybe could have used a few upscale options in addition to the standard ballpark fare.

Absolutely love the juice box. Parking is easy and there was no wait to get in. We were able to find our seats right away. Love the energy here it's amazing. Great variety of food and drinks. Can't wait to go back and cheer on our Astros!! Go Astros 💙🧡⚾

If you want something to do on a hot summer night in Texas, this is a great option. My family went on a Tuesday night which happened to be $1 hot dog night. The rest of the concession prices are what you’d expect for a MLB stadium. I had to give four stars because seating was a bit cramped compared to other stadiums we’ve visited. I’d also add that there was less fan involvement compared to other stadiums.

Pretty terrible experience all around. Concourse was one of the smallest I've seen in the 20+ ballparks I've been to and the staff wasn't particularly nice. The games were fun to see and our seats were quite good but it is what it is in the end.

What more is there to love about a quintessential baseball stadium! I love everything about Minute Maid from the food selections, the ecstatic crowds, the stadium lighting, to the awesome activities even during off seasons. I always have a smile on my face when I come for a game here. A truly enjoyable experience every time!

Very nice ballpark to watch a game. Fairly easy to get around all the levels. Good alcohol selection. The food was okay for what I got, the AstroNautchos. The brisket was good, but everything else just seemed to lack flavor. They have a very large selection of specialty foods and typical ballpark food at reasonable prices. The atmosphere outside the park is great. Lots of cool bars and restaurants.

This was my first time to ever watch a professional baseball game and also to go to minute maid stadium. I was very impressed and definitely plan on going again!There is a wide variety of food and drinks to choose from and entertainment from the time you get there until the moment you leave.It is fun for the whole family, or just one.

This was my first visit to Minute Maid Park. Awesome atmosphere and excellent food and drinks. Seating was tight but nothing unusual for a stadium. This is the best baseball stadium I have ever been too!

This place kinda sucked to be honest. Super small. Would not recommend. It's $25 to get in plus if you want to see any attractions they charge an extra fee. Parking is also $15. The highlight of the place is a white tiger...yes a white tiger at the aquarium is the highlight. If you're doing city pass Id definitely do another option.

Had a lovely time visiting the aquarium in Houston. Always interesting to see a different city’s take on aquatic life. The exhibits were nice but the restaurant was GREAT! Beautiful human size fish tank as a view. We got to see the fish get fed and the feeders performed some acrobatics for our viewing pleasure. The gumbo was a bit watery but delicious and the risotto was very good. Had to come home and make it too. The rides were nice and I was happy to see they were for both children and adults. Worth a visit if you are in the Houston area.

First time going to the aquarium. It is not that big but super pretty. My favorite was the white tiger, she was beautiful. We got to interact with the sting rays and went on the train around the facility. Just a few rides and games but it was fun to do. You could spend a day here, especially with little kids.

So much fun, and very educational. Went for my birthday, and bought the all day adventure pass (best value for sure! Highly recommend!) It was so nice being able to see all the exhibits, and ride all the rides as much as we wanted! My inner child and outer adult was very pleased!

My favorite part of the Aquarium is the stingray exhibit! You can gently touch (or pet) the stingrays and feel their rubbery, slick, soft body. They are fascinating to watch. I was shocked at how very fast they can swim when they want to!Another favorite spot is the tiger exhibit. They seem so very docile, sweet and laid back when you are looking at them through the glass. If it weren’t for the documentaries that I have seen, I would want to go inside and pet them. They are the very definition of “looks can be deceiving” but I love them so much.I really enjoyed all of the exhibits. It’s been a while since I have been, but they used to have a large octopus that I enjoyed watching. I was disappointed that it wasn’t there this time, but it’s possible that I just overlooked it??I think this aquarium is definitely worth visiting as they have done a great job with the exhibits. I think this would be a great place to take a date, and definitely a great day out with the family!

Wonderful place to visit. Great food. Lots of attractions. Excellent staff that is polite and courteous. Prices are a little high but you can pick what you want to do. Great place for a family event. A definite recommend.

This is a wonderful place to spend a day out with the family. It does seem to cater to elementary aged children. My middle schooler enjoyed himself, but was not overly amused. Go during the week to have endless access to the rides. The train ride is nice, but short, so don’t be dismayed by a line. It moves quickly. I deducted stars because the concession stands weren’t open. Other than that, no complaints. The stingray experience was cool, the tiger was asleep, my kids got shark cups, I got a glass, and we took plenty of pics for memories.

We celebrated my youngest son's birthday here and it was great! The rides were fun, he rode every one, the shark train was SO AWESOME and petting the stingrays at the subway rec was stinky but fun! Like most amusement places, everything was over priced, (a bubble wand was $25 and a bottle of water was $3.75) but it was expected! Plus the bubble wand lit up and was a dino-ROAR!!! Parking was paid upon exit at $15 a vehicle, all in all, we had a blast and my 5 year old said it was the best day ever!

Amazing, wonderful place to spend time with kids! We are SO happy that we disregarded all negative comments and decided to go give it a chance - we had a fantastic time 🙂 Well-designed beautiful interior of both building and aquariums, everything is clean and well maintained, good variety of different species. We loved the audio guided trip on train and all the rides! And it’s all included in price. I would recommend everyone who wants to spend few fun hours on weekend 🙂 P.S. we purchased online from their website and we didn’t stay in line at all

Great spot for the entire family. Visiting from out of town and you will spend extra money buying other things. My family loved seeing the fishes, tigers and feeding the sting ray. The best part is you’ll ride a train and go through a shark tunnel. Very informative and I have never seen a saw shark in person before. So seeing that magnificent sea creature was a treat. While we were there, divers were making sure tanks are clean and keeping it nice.I recommend taking swim clothes and a towel for the kiddos who want to play in the splash pad.

We loved it ❤️. Spent the whole day and we all enjoyed our time. We bought the all-day tickets which cover all aquarium shows and exhibits. And we repeated all of them several times. The shark voyage is nice but the time was so little to enjoy the sharks.If you are planning to spend the whole day it is better to park at the aquarium Park. It will cost additional 15 dollars.

Pretty fun experience. I found this is more of an experience for kids than adults. There are a few fun rides that my kids really enjoyed. The exhibit itself was pretty small compared to other aquariums I’ve visited. The stingray reef was my favorite part of our visit. Feeding and petting the stingrays was such an amazing experience. It was so worth the cost. We got all day passes and we took advantage and got on all the rides, walked through the exhibit twice. The train ride was so fun! I was a little bummed at first about not being able to see any sharks but the train ride takes you through a tunnel where all the sharks are. It was beautiful. This was such a fun family experience, I’d highly recommend for anyone to take their kids for a day!

The aquarium was smaller than I expected, but the shark tunnel and train ride were amazing! I highly recommend upgrading your ticket to see the sharks. Carousel ride was fun too. $15 parking in the aquarium's lot.

My review is for the restaurant 🍽️. This was my sons and I first time eating here and we truly enjoyed ourselves! When making our reservation online, I mentioned being seated in front of the aquarium tank since this was our first visit to the restaurant. We arrived about 25 minutes prior to our 2pm reservation. There was no wait! The host was friendly! And guess what?! We got a great table in front of the aquarium tank!!! What a beautiful view to see sharks, stingrays and many fishes swim around while dining! 🐟 🐠 🦈 Our waitress name was Jasmine! She was awesome!!!!! Super friendly and sweet! She recommended the Cajun pasta - it was DELICIOUS! 10/10😋🍽️‼️ Another plus, the restrooms were clean! My family will definitely be back!

I had the pleasure of visiting the aquarium while on vacation. It cost around $17 to tour the inside. To explore the outside rides and activities, it costs more. They don't offer a military discount.The layout is well designed, and they even offer a restaurant on the 3rd floor. It also includes a bar. I didn't eat here, though.The staff here are friendly and welcoming. I just wish the inside was bigger and featured more to offer to guests. However, I would still recommend visiting.

The Downtown Aquarium in Houston is awesome! It's packed with cool fish and beautiful birds . Very rare creatures we can see there. You can touch some of the sea creatures and sharks with a great view. It's a super fun place for everyone to enjoy

Every exhibit was worth looking at! The designs around the exhibits were skillfully made with a lot of attention to detail. They even had tigers! Not only that, there were outdoor rides and activities and you could pet and feed stingrays! This place surpassed my expectations!

Downtown Aquarium: A Mixed BagPros:* Diverse marine life: Offers a variety of exhibits, from colorful fish to a mesmerizing shark tunnel.* Tiger exhibit: A unique addition not found in many aquariums.* Additional activities: Stingray reef, rides, and dining options add to the experience.* Convenient location: Situated in downtown Houston with ample parking.Cons:* Size: Smaller than expected, especially the indoor exhibits.* Pricing: Some exhibits require extra fees (e.g., shark voyage).* Upkeep: Some exhibits could be better maintained.* Crowds: Can get busy, especially on weekends and holidays.Overall:The Downtown Aquarium provides a fun day out, especially for families. While it may not be the largest or most pristine aquarium, it offers a decent variety of marine life and additional activities. However, the extra fees for some exhibits can add up, and the overall size might leave some visitors wanting more. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option or a world-class aquarium experience, this might not be it. But if you're in Houston and want a fun few hours exploring the underwater world, the Downtown Aquarium is worth a visit.

Visiting this aquarium has become one of my cherished activities, and I've had the opportunity to explore it multiple times. Each visit brings something new and equally mesmerizing, reinforcing the incredible experience it offers. The value of this visit is unmatched, especially when you consider the depth and breadth of what's on display. Just as you think you've seen it all, another section unfolds, presenting a diverse range of fish that are both unique and abundant, swimming within beautifully crafted habitats that seem to bring the undersea world to vibrant life right before your eyes.The marvel doesn't stop at aquatic life; the inclusion of tigers, with their own meticulously designed habitats, adds a thrilling dimension to the experience. These majestic creatures, paired with the surrounding decor, showcase the thoughtful and intricate design that has gone into every corner of this space. It's worth mentioning that my cousin, Architect Martinez, was the brilliant mind behind the architectural masterpiece that is the aquarium building. His vision and creativity have truly brought this place to life, blending aesthetics with functionality in a way that enhances the overall experience for every visitor.Beyond the living exhibits, the aquarium surprises with an amusement park that is genuinely enjoyable for visitors of all ages. The rides, ranging from thrilling to leisurely, offer a delightful break from the aquatic and wildlife exploration, ensuring that there's something for everyone to enjoy. Even the gift shop is a treasure trove of fun finds, making it the perfect spot to pick up a souvenir or two as a reminder of the day's adventures.I appreciated the modern convenience of being able to pay with a card throughout the facility, from entry tickets to concessions and souvenirs, making the entire experience seamless and hassle-free. Even the parking, while bearing the typical downtown fees, is well managed and situated in their own lot, providing peace of mind and ease of access to visitors.In sum, this aquarium is not just a place to visit; it's a destination to be experienced over and over again. Each visit leaves me with a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the innovative ways in which it can be presented and preserved for all to enjoy.

Very affordable and clean. The aquarium isn’t very big but it’s priced accordingly. The exhibits are all very nice though. We spent about 1.5 hours going through it with small kids. They loved the tiger areas. They have a train ride that takes you through a shark tank tunnel. The rides were great for young kids. We didn’t eat at the restaurant but everything we experienced was great. We would definitely recommend it and will come again. Getting the all day combo pass was extremely affordable and well worth it for the kids.

Lovely place with a lot of amazing aquatic animals, two tigers, fair type rides for all ages. Amazing food at their restaurant ( I had the chicken alfredo) also there was food outside with various chocies. And don't forget the Dipping Dots ice cream!!! Yummy. We had a lovely day. Will definitely make a return visit!

Relatively small aquarium with nice displays and themes throughout; specimens appear very healthy.It's on three floors but the aquarium is really only on the ground floor, the second is devoted to the café and the third to special events.There is an additional charge for the other attractions on site so overall, it's a bit pricey and you can see everything in 45 minutes taking your time.They also have some beautiful tigers, so if the money is used to care for the creatures, then I don't mind paying.

This place is nice for a local getaway, but I have seen much better when it comes to the species' quantity available. Unfortunately, most of the more interesting sea life to view is found in the upstairs restaurant tank. The food in the restaurant is well cooked even though it is too expensive for quantity, in my opinion. Other than that, it makes good for a local outting.

"The Houston Aquarium, despite being small, offers an unforgettable experience. It is well organized and laid out, making it ideal for visiting with children. In addition, it has accessible and affordable parking, which is convenient when being in downtown Houston, thus avoiding the worry of leaving the car far away.The aquarium environment allows you to appreciate a variety of species native to the Texas Gulf, including fish, arachnids and reptiles, all carefully placed in compartments that simulate their natural habitat. We loved the experience of riding the train and watching the sharks and the impressive sawfish; Our baby was fascinated. In addition, the aquarium has a souvenir shop with affordable prices to take home a souvenir.We decided to pay to enjoy the rides and attractions, and were pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and politeness of the staff, some of whom speak Spanish. We also had the opportunity to enjoy the restaurant, which offers beautiful views of the aquarium. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious; We highlight the crocodile dish and the homemade soup, which left us with water in our mouths.Regarding the comments about the tiger, it is true that it is caged outside its natural habitat, but it is evident that it receives adequate care. It would be positive to reflect on how to contribute positive feedback to improve and expand the tiger's quality of life, perhaps by providing companionship or considering its history as being rescued from a circus.In short, we were delighted with our visit to the Houston Aquarium and recommend it 100%. It is a worthwhile experience

The Houston aquarium is awesome! If you visit on the weekend I recommend going early when it opens. Ferris wheel, train, and other outside attractions open 30 minutes after the aquarium opens. The All Day Adventure Pass is a great deal! Go early and enjoy all that this awesome aquarium has to offer!

Unfortunately it started raining this day. But I would like to say that the gentleman at the window where I purchased my tickets asked if I was sure I wanted to purchase the all day pass because it was going to rain. And they DO NOT give you your money back. Then when we were in line after we purchase our tickets there was a lovely lady who came up to us and told us that it would be a good idea we went on the rides and on the train first before it started raining that way we would at least get our money's worth out of our tickets that we purchased so I would really like to let you know that you have really great employees they were very helpful. At least the ones at the entrance were, because the ones in the gift shop and at the sting ray area not so much. We really wanted to eat at the restaurant there but it was a 2 hour wait. I still enjoyed the aquarium and the tigers regardless.

This was my first time at the Downtown Aquarium in Houston. As we pulled into the parking lot, there seemed to be plenty of parking for guests. The entrance fee to get into the parking lot is $15, which I thought was quite pricey. 2 adult passes with most attractions included came to a total price of $50 dollars.When you first step in, you're given a QR code, and you get your photo taken, which you have the option of buying later on. Then there's about 5 rooms of tanks with educational informational on a screen that you'll walk through. It's definitely a cool experience being able to see so many different types of fish up close! You'll also be able to see a tiger(s) near the end of the walk through! The next room gives you the opportunity to feed and pet stingrays if you purchased the add-on. This was definitely one of my favorite parts!Outdoors, there are rides you can take. We purchased the pass that included the rides buy unfortunately we weren't told upon purchasing that one out of the two rides was out of service. There's also a train that you can ride (add-on price) that'll take you through a shark tunnel! There's a speaker that will give you information about all the sharks, and it's definitely a cool experience seeing massive sharks swimAbove your head! The only issue with the train ride is when it would move, it would make a high-pitched screeching sound the entire time.

Beautiful experience. The aquarium was amazing looking. So many amazing things to look at. If you wanna see some sharks then go on the train. The restaurant was amazing. Got the grilled chicken breast. All perfect.

This aquarium is fantastic! I loved the place and the atmosphere. And it has a nice size. I recommend the “shark voyage” and feeding the sting rays.

The place is nice has quite a number of nice aquariums and some really cool fishes. I really enjoyed the part were you get to touch stingrays. I do feel some things are paywalled, for example you need to pay for a train ride to see the sharks and we didn't know about this until someone from our group went. For the price I feel you should be able to see all the animals, but its a good experience overall.

It was a great place to visit. Only issue we had was that the aquarium wasn’t as big as we thought it was going to be. The tigers were nice to see and we did get to go on the Ferris wheel and train. The train was the best part! It takes you into a tunnel where you see the sharks moving about over your head. Our son enjoyed it!

The Houston Aquarium offers an exceptional experience for families and individuals alike. From the moment you enter, the cleanliness and organization of the facility stand out, setting a positive tone for the visit. The aquarium itself is well-maintained, showcasing a variety of marine life that captivates visitors of all ages.A highlight of the visit is the train ride, which provides a unique perspective and access to the impressive shark exhibit. This ride is not only enjoyable but also educational, offering insights into the fascinating world of sharks. Another standout attraction is the ferris wheel, which offers a serene and scenic view of the surrounding area, adding to the overall charm of the visit.The carousel is a hit with children who are sure to delight in the fun and vibrant ride. Another must-see is the stingray exhibit, which is both engaging and interactive. The opportunity to feed the stingrays adds a hands-on element that is particularly thrilling for kids, making it a memorable part of the experience.Overall, the Houston Aquarium provides a diverse range of activities and exhibits that ensure a fun-filled day for everyone. Its combination of educational exhibits, interactive experiences, and well-maintained facilities makes it a top choice for family outings. The positive atmosphere and variety of attractions guarantee that visitors will leave with fond memories and a greater appreciation for marine life.

Small aquarium but really fun. The restaurant and the rides are great too. Went on a Saturday evening and it was not too crowded, we even got to be the last ride of the night on the merry go round. Nice views of the city lights. 👍

This place is always a fun time. I recommend going after 3pm on school days for a more intimate experience. It is also best to get the comprehensive ticket. The side games and exhibits can be more fun than the aquarium.

INCREDIBLE experience and great value. Just when you think it's close to ending, there's more. The fish are unique and plentiful with beautiful habitats. Same with the tigers. The decorations are incredible and well-designed, and then there's the amusement park! The rides are actually fun for all ages. Gift shop was also fun. I loved that everything allowed you to pay with a card. Parking fee is about right for downtown but at least it's their lot.

First time here. We got the aquarium and rides combo. It's totally worth it. We saw all kinds of sea life. We paid to feed the sting rays ( which is always a fun experience). We took the train ride to see the sharks, which was a new and cool way to visit them. And then we rode the ferris wheel! All in all, it was such a cool place to visit for every age!

This is a super impressive place for kids to play, explore, and learn. It's beautifully done and has a ton of areas and things for kids to do to introduce them to intellectual concepts, imaginative play, and physical activity.The Achilles heel of the place is that it is just completely overwhelming for really young kids. Our 2 year old struggled with just how crowded and intense the place was. Our 4 year old did a bit better.

It's the best children's museum I've been too. There's tons to do and plenty of interactive activities. I'd recommend planning on spending at least 3 hours here but you could easily spend more. We visited on a very busy day but the attractions/exhibits were still easily accessible. The staff were very helpful and friendly. This place is a must if you have little ones. They will be exhausted after a visit to this children's museum. They also have paid parking and a cafe inside.

While in the Houston area, I was gifted a couple of tickets to the Children's Museum, and let me just say—this is a *must* if you have kids under 12.I took my 2-year-old son, and he had an absolute blast!The museum was amazing. As soon as we walked in, we stepped into a mini kid-sized world with a bank, a news network, and a grocery store. My son loved playing the role of grocery store employee, and I had so much fun pretend shopping with him. This place is seriously packed with fun. You get pretend money and a pretend card to use, making it even more interactive.Outside, there’s an entire water play section where kids can mess around with water gadgets, boats, and more! My son had the time of his life. There’s also a stand outside where you can grab popsicles and popcorn, which was perfect in the Houston heat—it really made the experience even better.We headed back inside and discovered the museum has an entire game room, but we didn’t have enough time to explore it.I 1000% recommend this place—there’s so much to explore! Just come see for yourself!

Lots of fun and interactive activities to do here, and there is even a mini town for kids. Any attractions will take a long time for the line is very long. Other than that, this place is great! Shout out to the staff who is always cleaning after the kids.

Definitely read the other reviews. It is a fun place that can last a whole day if your kids are older than 5 years. There are activities for the younger kids but not enough to last a whole day. During the summer will get very busy and as many reviewers have said, go on the weekdays if you can and not summer or breaks. We were there after July 4th and it was not bad, but still busy. Our kids had a lot of fun and didn't want to leave.On other note, parking was not bad if you were there early. Buy tickets online so you can enter before others. I took that recommendation from the other reviewers.

Another amazing museum in Houston. This space has multiple floors with tons of hands on exhibits. There’s also the outdoor water area. Many of the exhibits are permanent but they also have temporary ones to honor different cultures. There is a small cafe which comes in handy after playing. There’s a small gift shop. They have a parking garage but there is also plenty of street parking. Free days are Thursday evenings. Check the website for various events like appearances from characters like Spider-Man and Paw Patrol. I’ve been taking my son since he was 1; he’s now 6 and still loves it. Kidtopia is probably our most favorite.They also participate in Museums for All.

I wish I dedicated more time for city pass attractions. If you have kids and you want them to learn and play at same time, this is it…absolutely amazing experience.It is so much fun 🤩Parking is a little cumbersome so wear sneakers as it will be a long walk.

Nice place to bring the kids. They have so many interesting things for kids to play. We went on weekend and really crowded. Can’t really enjoy everything because too many people. I think during weekday will be the best to go.

Great experience with the family. Now, I haven't been since I was a kid myself so there's obviously new additions. Kidtropolis was very engaging and hands on for the kiddos. They still have the giant telephone man made of land line phones. The biggest nostalgic memory that made my day was that they had the SAME blue van in the Mexican village section of the museum!!! My kids climbing in and playing around like I used to do almost 30 years ago, really made my day.

You know I was very surprised by this place.. I was pretty skeptical at first from the outside.. but man this was a blast. Tons and tons to do, keeping the kiddo thought process working throughout. There are tons of little projects to do, inside playground to beat the heat, a very nice parking deck, I didn't try the cafe though but it smelt amazing. Definitely recommend for the kiddos!

Excellent children's museum. Good mix of STEM and pretend play activities for a wide range of ages. All signage is in English and Spanish. Easy to navigate a stroller throughout. Plenty of restrooms. In-house cafe with tasty food at reasonable prices. Some of the exhibit spaces do get very loud and crowded. They have lots of staff and volunteers available throughout the exhibits to answer questions and keep spaces tidy.My only complaint is the lack of trash cans.Paid parking garage right across the street.There is a very nice water area outdoors, so it's wise to bring a change of clothes.We stayed 3.5 hours and would have stayed longer if time allowed. We will definitely return.

A great place for children, I recommend that you come early so you can visit its 10 areas, the staff is very clean but they were not very friendly except for the one at the window check He was very friendly but the others have 3 stars for me.

We had a lot of fun here. There is a lot to do and see. The learning aspect almost seems like it’s for older kids and the playing aspect seems like it’s for younger kids so I think it is hard to say what exact age group this type of place is for. So we did more of the playing type activities and skipped a lot of the learning aspects. Our favorites were the grocery store, veterinary office and the outdoor water play area. Everything was very clean but some things were broken and not working. The kids can be the adults in the mini city and have “jobs” and earn paychecks. The adults can be the kids and have dinner served at the diner or bring their sick pet to the veterinarian. The food court cafe was good to stop for lunch and the staff there were so nice and helpful. There were a lot of school classes coming through so it got very busy and loud at times. Bring a change of clothes if you think you need it for the water play area. About half the area is shaded so there were places to stand in the shade while the kids played. There is a small outdoor playground with slides. The indoor climbing structure was closed when we visited. There is a small area that had baby chicks, a snake and some turtles to view also.

We had an amazing weekend and experience.There was something to do to everyone in the family. We are a family of 6 and all ages, our kiddos loved all different activities, even though it was a weekend, all kids had a chance to enjoy all activities.

It was a fun experience, definitely more than we could do in a morning! We have a membership and it's totally worth it if you're near this location or the Fort Bend Discovery Center. The miniature town was fun and is current Mexico themed (some of the older pictures show a different theme for the town - those are either outdated or from the Fort Bend Discovery Center). Staff was great, helpful, and there's even a little library here!

It was a great day for my 4 year old son. There were so many educational activities to get kids engaged with STEM. As a physicist, I loved the chaotic pendulums, so many different circuits to build alarms, and light up lamps, and so many more activities.We got a free ticket because we were Bank of America account holders, and we just showed our IDs and debit cards. But this promotion was valid in the first weekend of every month. It was extremely busy for a weekend.I liked the restaurant inside the building and their food was good, though it took so long to get ready. We will definitely be back there.

Fantastic place for children! A bit overwhelming for parents, I have to admit lol but my 4 year-old loved it so much!The museum is clean, organized and so much fun!Cafe is great, too, with good options for children and parentsWe would come back and highly recommend it!

Wonderful museum for kids, it has everything. This museum is full of hands on activities that are educational and entertaining. We spent over 4 hours there, and I'm sure the kids would have loved to spend even more time.The parking garage is across the street, but there are also street parking nearby. Most of the street parking I saw were 2 hrs max though, except for Sunday.Invention Convention has a bunch of fun STEM activities that allows the kids to build all sorts of contraptions. And my other son loved the grocery store and diner in the Kidtropolis.This was a great destination for us to spend a fun filled afternoon. Our kids left with huge smiles on their faces.

We've gone here several times now and each time my 3 year old son loves it! We came when he was younger so he played in the baby area upstairs which is super nice and now he's able to go around the whole museum, he especially loves the outdoor water activities. Tips for parents looking to come here:- If you get WIC you can come in for free up to 6 people. Just show active benefits on app or paper.- Bring a change of clothes and shoes for the child because they will get wet outside.- Bring SUNSCREEN for outside (there's some shade but not a ton).- They have a bag and stroller check (I think you rent a locker).- Bring snacks or they have a small cafeteria with food and an area to sit to eat.- Parking costs $12

Great time! We came with our 7yrs old boy. EVERYTHING works in here, lots of interective and learning mechanisms. Very colorful all around and overall happy environment. Highly recommended. We spent good 3-4 hours and never a dull moment here.

My grandkids are visiting from CT, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the children's museum on Binz. The kid stff was super kind, cordial, and inning. The science projects, art sessions, and staff involved sessions were very well received by my kids, ages 2 to 13. The outdoor water park was educational and FUN. My kids brought their swim gear to get the full experience!! Thank you so much. The museum has had so many improvements since my son was little!!!

We took our 15-month-old and he loved it. We played in the baby & toddler section for about an hour. Then moved outside to explore. So many kids, so much fun. He did get soaked outside in the water activities, so bring a change of clothes.

Four entire floors of fun plus an entire outside area. My kid can spend an entire day here playing. She loves kidtropolis and it’s just as fun for adults (dare I say).Bring a towel and change of clothes cause your kiddo will get wet from playing outside

This place is a GIFT. In a word: resources. It’s a huge complex with so many areas I’ve been going for years and still can’t say I know it completely. It’s always surprisingly clean, offering science and cultural activities, always hands on, indoor and outdoor, personnel is always friendly and knowledgeable. In the makers area you find everything your kids might need to make stuff, they even have laser cutting machines, copy machines, in their shop. Every Thursday family night with free entrance, covered parking is usually just 5 dollars.

This place is great for exploring with young minds. An entire section dedicated to a mini town where kids can work to earn money in various jobs!

We had a great time at the childrens museum. It is definitely very busy and hectic but we still had a good time. They have plenty to do, and many interactive things to check out . They also have a cafe incase you get hungry

First time at the childrens museum and HOLY COW. We went on a free Thursday and it was so worth it. (Made the reservation online that same morning) If you are not a fan of crowds avoid it in the free special because it is overwhelming. If you are ok with that, be mentally Prepared!Other than that, it was much more than I expected. The outside waterworks área is amazing!! I need to come back in the morning when it's not too hot.The tot spot is soooo cute. All of the areas kept my toddler busy and entertained.Bathrooms were clean.Library is great.Honestly so much to do!

It's an ideal place for children (toddler to teenage kids.)They hiked the parking price to $15My toddler enjoys it a lot.There is a free family night event on every Thursday 5pm to 8pm.

It seems like every week they always have something new going on here! I swear this is one of the best and safest places to take your kids too❤️

We came to the Children Museum Houston for the first time and we had a great time my son love it all . There is a lot to do and a lot play areas for every age .

It's an exciting museum for kids! Lots of DIY for science related stuff.*free Thursday night from 5 to 8pm. Watch out it's so crowded during the period!

We took advantage of going to the museum on Thursday and I realized that every Thursday is totally free, something very good for the family and large groups of friends.We park the parking lot of the museum itself but you also have the opportunity to park on the street (if you are lucky)The entrance was quite fast, no queues or waiting. I think that having the tickets already purchased makes access much easier.The place is incredible, everything is organized, clean and quite easy to follow the route.It is an excellent place to meet and enter the world of art and a Excellent idea for a date too.

A nice museum with three buildings connected by the underground passages. My favorite is the modern art building. You can easily spend a whole day here. Some staff near popular light fixtures seem less chill, but overall great experience here. They also have a cute cafe.

Awesome experience! Amazing arts in there love how they have a little summary beside the paintings explaining into detail. I loved it definitely some interesting stuff. It is a lot of walking tho!! Be prepared. If you’re going to go with your kids be aware that they don’t touch anything because you cannot touch any of the art plus there’s always people watching. Be respectful. I do recommend! I believe it’s free on Thursdays if you don’t want to spend $ it’s perfect!

By far one of the most knowledgeable and enjoyable art staffs I’ve ever been around. Outside of being phenomenal sales agents, wonderful concierge and receptionists; each person you encounter will most likely have some tidbit of knowledge about the selected texts, curated production pieces and set pieces or even just history of the site and the facility. Walking into this specific MFA is both a classically endearing experience with histories most resilient and timeless works of art, but also an incredible showcase of the humans of Houston and how phenomenal they are.

One of my favorite museums. There’s usually tours going on that you can join to learn more about the different paintings & sculptures. Thursdays they offer free GA which is nice and it’s normally not too crowded.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, is a place I always find myself returning to. The diverse art collection spans cultures and centuries, offering something new to discover every visit. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, making the experience both educational and deeply inspiring. I also love spending time in the peaceful sculpture garden, where art meets nature beautifully. Plus, the on-site café is a great spot to relax and reflect. It’s more than just a museum; it’s a place that feeds the soul.

Twas a beautiful museum! Many cultural arts were exhibited from all over the world! Definitely a great experience to see what cultures each country shared.I got to go there on Thursday night so I got a free entrance! I love that they do those give back to the community!A must go there especially if you like arts!Cheers 🥂

It’s really great to visit!!I spend 6 hours there, 3pm till close but my visit still not complete!!It because I love arts, I enjoy watching them (at least one minute each), read their description (yes, every single one of them) and watched all cinematic arts, that’s why 6 hours wasn’t enough for me.So I’ll go again next week.If I understand it rightly there’re 4 buildings of arts including the art school for us to visit.Tips: FREE general admission on every Thursday!!!

A great way to spend the day. Several multilevel museums connected by a tunnel. Great works from a wide array of times place and people going back to ancient Greek and Egyptian works, the master of the Renaissance and modern late period. It's a great place to spend an afternoon.

I go every Thursday with my son! We always get all access tickets. It feels so full of life, and all of the volunteers are so helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend to any out of towner or anyone who loves the arts!

Houston Museum District is a treasure. So many choices and they are all amazing. The Archeology of Silence exhibition is what I chose this time. Absolutely a must see.

This place is absolutely massive. Three buildings are connected by tunnels for 11 floors of amazing art, sculptures, photography, and installations. Definitely plan for an entire day. We wondered all over the place and I know we still missed some things. Free to active military.

Thursday is always the day we like to go we can save a little money since Thursday is free starting at 11am. If you do want to see other exhibits you can also do that for a few either way you will have fun here. Just watch your step around the artwork and no touching there are certain exhibits that do have a little interaction. Hope you have a wonderful time at the Houston Art Museum.

Best place to go if you are interested in art! It includes 3 buildings with 3 different topic, they are connected by elevators, so you don't have to worry about crossing the road. It took us few minutes to find parking garage, but it's all good. Make sure you are wearing a comfortable shoes, otherwise you will have hard time to finish all 3 buildings, they all have elevators, but every level is pretty big, so you will have some walking.

This place is all things fine. But they are strict with trying use any type of tripod or selfie stick. The tickets were free and the time was not limited. Parking was only 10 dollars and if it wasn’t raining I would just walked to the other museums everything is close together. So this place is so big and is connected by tunnels. They have staff all over to help and direct you. A lot of sitting places. The food at the cafe is standard little high but not bad. All of the exhibits were so nice.

This is a fascinating museum. It has three buildings connected by tunnels with different kinds of art installations.The video screen installation by the main entrance was fascinating to the young and old alike.It is well worth the visit. I could have spent far more time here. The museum map does show what installations are in which galleries, so if you have a particular interest you can get there more efficiently.

I was pleasantly surprised by the collection of this museum. The mix of European art with other regions of the world really brings a balance to the perception that visitors can get in their visit. The buildings are large and don’t feel cluttered, and the artwork is well preserved. I recommend the museum thinking about a recommended visit for newcomers, or an audio guide that can give more insight into specific works (if there was one, it was not offered to us).

Simply Excellent! What a collection of some awesome art! This is housed in a collection of buildings connected via some beautiful tunnels.Lot of great art from all over the world. There were also some temporary exhibitions which were spectacular - the impressionist exhibit and another spectacular immersive experience by Yayoi Kusama!We visited for a couple of hours over Thanksgiving weekend and there is so much more to do at this museum. We could have easily spent another 4+ hours.Parking Tip - Park at 1144 Binz street - easy access to the Beck Building.Bag Tip - do not take your bag or even water into this museum as you will need to go to another building to drop off your bag - not worth it.Food tip - we didn’t eat here but heard that it was expensive $$$ - lots of good eating options nearby (Fia’s Pizzeria for example is a 5 min walk. You can take the car but may need to pay for parking twice.)

Wonderful Exhibits! The additions that have been added over the past 30 yrs are incredible. I've been visiting MHAF since I was a teen. Now, many years later, I'm simply awe struck. We live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vacation in your own city bc there's so much to see and enjoy!

Went to check out the Kinder building. Absolutely mind blowing! Such a treasure to have such an expansive and well curated collection right here in Houston Texas. Free entry on Thursdays is just the cherry on top!I highly recommend this world class institution to anyone who lives in or visits Houston

Went for a special birthday brunch for a dear friend, and we all had the four course option. Everything was beautifully plated and balanced not only visually but in flavor as well. A great choice for a special occasion or for a special treat.

Houston is lucky to have this museum. Visited from Austin while my wife was in a medical conference and I could have spent a couple days here. Several buildings packed with amazing art, and it was only $24 for an all day ticket!

Surprisingly, I loved the lighting in these 3 areas. It was nice, welcoming, and just a nice mood. A bit surprised one of Claude Monet's water lilies series was located here because it was placed in such an obscure corner of the galleries. Felt like it would've been more appreciated had it been located near the end of a hallway. It's globally recognizable and yet, sadly hidden away.

I got dual membership and it is totally worth it! Individual tickets are at $24 while dual membership for free annual admission is at $95 plus free Sat evening events. We went to the museum twice in a quarter already, gotta go there more than 3-4 times for sure. The current exhibition is colorful and rich in culture immerse. I love it so much.

Come culture yourself and let the museum enchant you with its wide collection of art from early age to modern day, there’s something for everyone. You need more than half a day to truly take it all in, there so much to see and it’s only $24 for an all access entry. My personal favorite was the magical installation by Yayoi Kusama’s “Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity” inside the Kinder Building.There are also plenty of eating options around the area so fuel up before coming, leave and come back the same day, or work up an appetite.Oh and one more thing……wear comfortable shoes, you’ll do A LOT of walking.

Amazing museum!! I went there on a Thursday because it’s free. There was no new exhibition going on just the permanent art but, there’s tons to see. It will take you at least 2hours to get through it all with no breaks. Awesome art from all over the world. Will definitely be back to check out the new upcoming exhibits. Will definitely recommend if you’re in town.

The collections here are amongst the best and most fun and diverse I’ve been to in the country. It has collections from all eras, major artists, and even an interior design room (my favorite). The place is huge - 3 buildings - and you should definitely allow 2+ hrs per building to fully enjoy all the art. Also love the on site cafe and restaurant.

Rich exhibits of various time periods. Very nice campuses spread across multiple blocks. There are tunnels connecting different buildings that's very convenient. Will definitely come back in the future.

I have never been here before, but the Kehinde Wiley exhibit was worth every penny, from tickets and parking to sore feet from getting turned around in there a few times...lol. I would definitely return for another exhibition....and it was a really cool day date with the hubby 😉 Enjoy!😃

The Museum of Fine Arts Houston is a strong cultural experience and arguably one of the best museums in America. The exhibits are very diverse with stunning modern architecture offering a unique experience. You should pencil out a full day to fully appreciate all exhibits. I love museums when traveling out of town and are great date ideas.

Super rude staff forcing us to leave the museum because they want to lock up early. I’ve been to museums in dozens of countries and never had one close up so rudely. We were informed at 16:49 that the museum was closing soon and there were 5 min left before making our way to the exit. Ok, fine that’s normal. We walk to take a quick look at the remaining exhibit but are told we cannot see it, we need to leave. I look at my watch it’s still 10 min before closing… but they don’t care. They basically hound us and follow us out of the building. As you can see from my picture we are out of the museum by 16:53… I wonder if this is how staff are trained to interact with guests?The art itself is good, the experience was poor.

I've been in this museum several times, visiting non permanent expositions, and always is a treat. Always when I am done with the non permanent exposition, I reserved some time to wander around all the different permanent expositions and every single time I really enjoy it. If you are an art lover, you must visit this museum.

Family had a great time looking at the art. There were 4 different locations that were all connected, so you didn't have to leave and cross the street to get to the other locations. The maps were easy to read.

Had a day in Houston, and we decided to check out the MFA Houston. I am so glad we chose to visit. It's a large museum across 3 buildings with tunnels connecting them. The tunnels are art exhibits themselves. The diversity of art was impressive. At the time we went, they had 4 special exhibits, which were all included with the price of admission. I loved 3 out of the 4, and the 4th was good. Their permanent collection was quite impressive as well. They had quite a few famous artists' pieces as well as prominent local artist collections. The art type included paintings, drawings, sculpture, and digital. The collections also spanned most defined periods and genres. Four hours well spent (I'm sure you could spend longer). I highly recommend visiting next time you're in Houston.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon and we really enjoyed the exhibits. The staff at the front desk and throughout the several buildings were all kind and welcoming. There were not many people in the area or so it seemed because we were able to take our time and not feel crowded / rushed. Overall would return and continue exploring as we did not get to view the entire museum due to time.

Such a wonderful museum. The Kehinde Wiley exhibit was undoubtedly my favorite exhibit. It took us a few hours to see the whole museum, so wear comfortable walking shoes. There are a lot of other museums and art work to experience in the area too!

Really enjoyed visiting the museum a couple of months ago. There was a wide variety of art to view from old to neat to quite interesting and I even got to see a Picasso (which surprised me)! The only negative I really have is that the layout is really screwy and it's hard to navigate because of this.

A comprehensive, accessible and well organised exposure to the historical arc of Western fine art. Go up the escalators, take a U turn, follow the Egyptian exhibit all the way to the end, and then enter the galleries through the maroon rooms. That way, you get to see how aspects of aesthetics and content in the paintings and sculptures ebbed and flowed with time. Or, find your own sequence of experiences! Gift shop is just 🤩Thursdays free, very welcoming staff at the front desk!

my boyfriend and I just came here the last Thursday and every Thursday is free here. On the other days, the price is out of my range and they also have other exhibits every single day that are costing some money. I understand why this museum wants to make money, but at the same time I know that they have a bunch of supporters that give them sponsorships and donations. I just know that they have a lot of artists that have passed, and that is beautiful because this art is showing you their legacy and the longevity Of the world. I do wish that more local artists or smaller artists could be a part of museums and people could enjoy various different ideas and themes, but mostly people just want to see the famous items. As always much love from Houston and the universe.

Fantastic collection of pieces covering hundreds of years of history.Loved the descriptions of each room on the wall to help give some background information on pieces on display.Whilst the collection being spread across 3 buildings is a bit cumbersome - having to wander between them was actually very nice and added to the experience.

It was better than I expected. The Museum is divided not by centuries and ages, but by Empires and countries of origin. I liked that very much.I visited during weekend, it was a bit busy, but there was no rush. Has cafeteria inside if you feel like eating.

We wish we had scheduled more time to look at everything. The layout is a bit confusing, like a maze but I think it also add some sense of adventure to it. Be prepared to do lots of walking and battery full for pictures. For the price and for hours of entertainment, I say it's a must visit.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) is a truly remarkable cultural institution and arguably one of the best museums in America. Its extensive and diverse collection rivals those of prominent European museums. The architecture is stunning, and the museum spans multiple buildings, each offering a unique experience. Plan to spend at least a full day to fully appreciate everything this incredible museum has to offer. Highly recommend a visit for art enthusiasts and casual visitors alike!

Great museum!! Lots to do and look at if you live in the area or close enough the membership is totally worth it. Each special exhibit was an additional cost. The "shows" in the theater are shown on a dome screen sit high up so you don't have to tilt your head up so far we saw the "death of the dinosaurs" I felt it could have been better I most likely won't be paying extra for the theater shows anymore but Ramses exhibition was worth the additional cost. Thursdays have free entrance hours just check their website for details.

Absolutely stellar museum. Honestly, the best natural science museum I have ever gone to. The Paleontology, Fossilized Wood, and Gem exhibits were our favorites; but the entire museum was incredible. The exhibits were large with a plethora to see and learn about.I highly recommend getting there as soon the museum opens if you don't want to be stuck in crowds. We showed up at 9 and didn't encounter any crowds until we went to exit.We will 100% be back!

Along with the Zoo this was the star of the city pass attractions.Negatives are high add an prices for things like the King Tut exhibit which was overshadowed by the included, permanent Egypt Hall.With that out of the way the crowd was much better managed that other city pass attractions and the dinosaurs, and geology sections were awesome along with the Egypt sections. Amazing.Hidden in the back of the second floor is the geology section with some of the most amazing gems and geological structures I have ever seen. And further hidden in the gem vault are some stunning pieces of jewelry.Dinosaurs to gems to mummies, this is a great stop. We ran for three hours and couldn’t see it all. Leave more time.

This museum is amazing! My group ended up spending about 6 hours here and barely scratched the surface of what is available to see. It’s definitely something that could be made into a multi-day event. Every exhibit has interesting things to look at and learn from. I went into every section expecting it to not be nearly as cool as the last and was pleasantly surprised every time when I was wrong! My favorite area of what I had time to see was the gem and natural mineral section. Pressure and time create some amazing things!

Incredible collection unlike anything you can see in europe. The variety and quality of the dinosaur exhibit was breathtaking. Some of the specimens here are world famous and it was a complete pleasure to actually see them. The giant sloth and meg jaws were hands down my faves. The paleontologists and volunteers work behind a glass screen. You can watch them work and press a button to ask questions. The Cullen hall was full of spectacular gems... Houston is definitely not going bankrupt anytime soon! Brilliant place for a day out. So much to see. Gift shop full of unique things. Building set in beautiful park land with fountains and a lake. Absolute must do if you visit Houston.

Great place to visit. There is so much to see and do for everyone. They have tons of permanent exhibits you get to check out with your ticket (you can go in and out of these exhibits all day so hold on to your ticket). Plus they have fun extra things to check out like the butterfly and the Egyptian exhibits (you do have to pay a little extra for those though still worth it). You can't take in food/drinks but you can leave and come back in.

This place is so big you really need open to close to see it all. So let’s start by free Thursdays. The website is not updated so it’s only free from 5-8pm parking is $30.00 if you park within the parking lot however if you can find street parking or cheaper near I suggest that. Everything in the museum district is close together. Also the up-sale is the little exhibits which we skipped. However the museum is so fun and exciting. It’s for all ages being a stroller for little ones. All the restrooms are clean all the signs were easy to read to navigate a lot of benches to rest. Overall 10/10

It was truly amazing, so many exhibits to see and not enough time to get through all of them. Each exhibit has a cost of its own. I did the Butterfly exhibit, Regular exhibit and the Shark exhibit. The regular exhibit has the Dinosaurs and Egyptian history. It was great to see paleontologists there to answer any questions. The butterfly was very beautiful and loved the interaction with the different species of butterflies. The shark exhibit was great, you get to touch a little shark! I would go back to try the space exhibit.

This museum will always be a hit for me. I love the atmosphere and the amazing customer service. Only advice I give people is to buy your tickets in advance, especially on the weekends because they will sell out for their temporary exhibits. Also the lines on the weekends are huge so be prepared for that. The permanent exhibits are amazing and the food court is okay. We had the pleasure to see a movie in their planetarium called passport to the universe, the experience was lovely and something I definitely recommend if you get a chance to. Overall I always love the experience I get here!

3 stars because PRICES ARE NOT AS ADVERTISED IN PERSON. It went from a $140 trip to $220 real fast. Just for admission. Pricing is very deceiving. In my opinion the “King Tut” exhibit is not worth the money. The hall of Egypt had wayyyy more awesome things and was included in the normal pass. Staff at the food court seemed to hate their jobs and were all rude. We went for our daughters Sweet 16 celebration and she had a good time because of course kids don’t pay attention to all that stuff and that’s all that matters to us. The website says allow 2hrs to explore but that is not nearly enough time if you want to enjoy the place. It definitely is worth going back a second time and spending the whole day there. Maybe we will encounter nicer employees and prices next time.

Went to the museum this past weekend with family from out of town. The kids and adults all loved it. The richness of display from the dinosaurs, Texas wildlife, minerals and Ancient Egypt was something to see. Our tour was quick just because we had a lot of little ones who became eager to leave to go eat.Plan to go for a good part of the day if you really want to enjoy this gem!!I highly recommend this as MUST see for anyone visiting the Houston area. Even better it's minutes away from Herman park and the Houston Zoo.

Going to the Museum is always fun. Every time I go I learn and see something new. The dinosaur exhibit is my favorite. It's so neat to get to read all the signs abiut the different dinosaur on display. The Museum also has a very nice shopping center part, as well they have a restaurant inside it. I highly recommend this for a family trip or a date night out.

Have been to so many exhibits here and am just so happy that this place exists. It showcases educational and historical entertainment which is hard to find these days! Great for both kids & adults. They have a neat little café to enjoy some food while waiting for your show, if you're hungry. It can get packed on the weekends, buy your tickets online!

This place is amazing. It has a huge collection of dinosaurs. Huge collection of amazing shells. The Cabinet of Curiosities area was so much fun to explore and the kids loved looking in the drawers etc (though some of the drawers need maintenance). The gems and rocks were quite interesting. And can’t say enough about how detailed and awesome the energy floor was. It covered so many topics from the energy perspective and explained in great detail many of the concepts that most people take for granted. 1 day almost wasn’t enough time to fully experience everything here.

Love every time that I go and visit the butterfly exhibit was recently reopen but theres several exhibits including the newest one king Tut the sharks but the exhibit halls are classic. I also love to view B Baker Planetarium... It's great for dates or if you want to take children. Fun fact every Thursday it's free

Pretty cool place, honestly would give it a 5 star but you have to spend a lot extra when entering to see some of the exhibits and I just am not a big fan of that. The place is very beautiful and well maintained though. Customer service was kinda garbage, definitely recommend on the city pass! The gem room was by far the coolest part of the museum I think.

It’s a great place for anyone to come inside afor a respite from the weather—and a great way to spend the day.The King Tut exhibit was much smaller than expected. Egyptian exhibit (outside King Tut) was more exciting.The regular exhibits are always a delight.Planetarium shows are a good variation and time selection.Three hour parking available nearby.Parking garage is $30 for non-members and $10 for members.Staff everywhere is always so courteous.

Entry to most exhibitions was included with the Houston City Pass deal. When you go in, join the member ticket line (which is shorter) so they can scan your code on your pass. I paid $27 extra to see the King Tut's Tomb Discovery Experience. The whole place is amazing and there is so much to see and take in. I particularly enjoyed the gemstones and dinosaur displays but really everything was intriguing. Highly recommend when you are in Houston.

Been to many a museum in my travels and this was one was very nice. I highly recommend doing the city pass that pays for itself with 2 or 3 museum visits when you get 5 in total. Entry way and ticketing was easy and you need a ticket even if you have the citypass. Planetarium was cool and has shows a about every half hour. Lots of shells, geodes, shark area, dinosaur area.. all pretty standard for a nat science museum. Definitely a place for the kiddos to visit.

Overall, it was a very interesting experience. The guest services were incredibly helpful in navigating the museum, especially since they do not provide a physical map. Despite its size, the museum can be thoroughly explored in a few hours, excluding the special exhibitions. The butterfly garden is a must-see; it was truly an exceptional experience. Keep in mind that it operates on a time slot basis and requires an additional ticket, but it’s well worth it. The exhibits are well-curated, and I found the Animal and Gemstone displays to be among the best, rivaling those at the Museum of Natural History in Harvard.

So less time to watch all the artifacts in display out there. It is an awesome place to spend time seeing and studying various things with your kids and family. You need to buy parking tickets after you park your car inside the building at the box office when you buy your museum tickets too. DO NOT FORGET TO BUY THE PARKING TICKET. Parking ticket is too costly. They charged $30. We had fun spending time at every artifact in display. They show different types of gems and stones and there are lot of displays for science and nature too. You have a restaurant if you need a quick bite.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science offers a captivating and educational experience for visitors of all ages. The exhibits are diverse and well-curated, ranging from stunning dinosaur fossils and intricate gem displays to immersive dioramas of wildlife and interactive science exhibits. The museum's layout is spacious and easy to navigate, with clear signage and informative displays that enhance the learning experience.The special exhibits and seasonal events add extra excitement and variety, keeping the museum fresh and engaging with each visit. The planetarium and butterfly center are standout features, providing unique, hands-on learning opportunities.Overall, the Houston Museum of Natural Science is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the natural world. Its combination of educational value, engaging exhibits, and family-friendly atmosphere makes it a worthwhile outing.

Trust me this was the best part of my visit to Houston on the city past(I don't recommend getting) just pay for this place straight up. It has 4 levels and so many Interactive Learning stations. They have exhibits for the King Tut, the planetarium shows a video about every hour. I will definitely visit again! Highly recommend it. Parking is first come first served near the front door(free). Family friendly, date friendly, something for everyone. You will not be disappointed!!!! 10 stars if I could. Open from 9am-5pm. Plan to spend the day worth every penny spent.

An amazing experience! Wife and I took our youngest and had a blast! Google recommended 2-3 hours but we could have made a couple days out of it. Every exhibit was beautifully cultivated. The museum curator has done an excellent job. Even the gift shop was awesome.

Went to this museum on a whim while in town for a meeting and I’m glad I did. From the special exhibits, the butterfly garden and the interactive station, it had something for every age group. Also a nice selection of fine jewelry and geological pieces in the gift shop.

We only had time to do the insect section but it was still amazing. Awesome price, was me butterflies. Fascinating bugs everywhere and that is only 1 part. This place is amazing and that's why I rate this place 5 Stars ⭐✨

Very nice museum experience! Appreciate the artifacts and all of the exhibits. There are so many!!! Recommend taking a few hrs to see all of the floors. Wish the special exhibits were available free, but I guess they have to make a profit somewhere.

Great place for the whole family to enjoy the day. Lots to see and do. My favorite was King Tut's exhibit. Big museum so we didn't see everything this time but we became members to fully enjoy in the next coming weeks and rest of year. Place is near other museums, parks and restaurants.

Huge museum packed with everything you need to fill a whole day. Educational and informative with plenty of dioramas and interactive displays.It would be nice to see more on conservation and sustainability as several galleries clearly show exploitative companies and practices favourably because of their sponsorship.The permanent displays are included in the price, but frustratingly, the temporary and special exhibits require additional payments.However, the dinosaur exhibition hall is outstanding, possibly the best I've come across while travelling the world.

My cute boyfriend, Brian, and I went to the HMNS to check out the Death by Natural Causes exhibit. The exhibit was small but interesting. It shows all of the ways people could possibly die and it be deemed a natural cause. The price of your ticket includes admission to the entire museum, minus whatever other special exhibits they are featuring. Take your military ID, first responder/nurse/hospital employer ID’s to get a discount on your tickets.

Beer is always great. We love Magnolia Texas. Meet place to take the dogs grab a cold craft beer one of my favorites that I keep p in my fridge. The food truck next door has good food too. Had al pastor and hubby had pork quesadillas.

Cool location, chill and spacious. The tasting area is comprised of a bar to serve your beer (and wine), a few tables under shelter, many picnic tables, and a stage for a musician or two. When we visited, there was a pizza food truck and vendor tents on the perimeter..The beer selection was good. We really enjoyed the gin barrel aged beer, and I liked the brown on nitro. Delicious!.It was chilly this day, with the wind having free access to our seats. We cut our visit short for that reason, but we'll be back!

Beer quality was one of the best I've been to. Great selection. You can bring your own food.

This is one of my favorite spots in Magnolia even if it is an outside venue with the only air conditioning being in the restrooms. They have the best beer around at very reasonable prices and we love coming for jukebox BINGO (offered on Friday & Sunday)! Free to play and you can earn vouchers for free drinks. Wonderful, friendly staff with a different food truck every time we visit. Kid and dog friendly. Highly recommend you stop by and check it out!

Two things that would have been helpful to know before getting here... parking is across the street from the United Methodist Church on Commerce street (dirt lot) and there is no inside/air conditioned area that I saw, but neither negatively impacted our experience. Nice open beer garden, with plenty of shade and what looks to be a local band setting up.I have been a fan of Yellow Rose since the first time I tasted it, and none of the other beers I had here disappointed. Koozies that fit the glasses are $3 and I feel way worth the $$. If you don't like beer they serve wine from Bernhardt Winery up the street and cider from City Orchard in the HTX. Worth a visit!

Loved our time here enjoying the Texas Eagles band, flight of beer, bottle of wine and the Hissy Chick food truck. Plenty of picnic tables but we brought our own chairs. Beautiful light strings all over the old trees.

First time going in, the service was amazing, the girl in the bar was always with a smile… great place to be chilling with friends…

Have loved this brew from afar. Finally had the opportunity to visit on the way through town (well, kind of....perhaps drove a few miles out of the way, but well worth it!).1. The brews are fantastic and unique. I'm a huge hopped quaff critic. LONE PINT meets the standard and stands in my TOP 2 TX breweries!2. Lovely town and location. (One recommendation: use the website to direct patrons to the Methodist Church parking... had to call and confirm where I could park)3. Food truck on site provides solid choice to accompany your bev of choice.4. Set up as an American Beer Garden - what's not to love! They bring in live music and Jukebox Bingo.So worth the visit..and for New England IPA lovers, hit the Yellow Rose SMASH IPA (smash = single malt single hop)...they hit this one out of the park!

Outdoor taproom in a container with many picnic tables around an excellent music venue. Lots of SMASH IPAs (single malt and single hops), which is good for comparing hops and malts but typically not suitable for complexity. With that said, the beers are flawless but not very complex. I enjoyed a couple of the non-SMASH beers very much. There was a great food truck here, and it was excellent. I would like to see the music venue sometime.

My wife and I love stopping by here when the weather provides the opportunity. Great outdoor spot and great beer too! Kid and dog friendly. If you haven't checked out this spot you should give it a try.

Cool outdoor spot with a live music stage, plenty of picnic tables, heaters for colder days, a food truck on site, and solid pours. Nice to check this spot out for the first time!

On our way to a wedding close buy and noticed this gem of a brewery. Loved the atmosphere and service but most of all the drinks! We found the place to be very inviting and the locals were friendly. While the brewery does not appear to serve food, there is an onsite food truck selling BBQ favorites on tap.

My first time here. Excellent brewery and hang out spot! Lots of picnic table seating under sun shades and trees. Events and fun participation entertainment like song bingo. Many flavors of beer and they're good! Will be back for sure.

My husband loves Yellow Rose. We were close and I lost a bet....so his choice. Pleasantly surprise....i have a terrible palate for anything other than blue moon or miller lite. Their Mein Shatz was perfect. Corn hole for the gaggle of kids we brought worked out. Needless to say .... im driving home. My husband spent $100 on beer and swag.

New favorite IPA, Yellow Rose smash IPA. Look forward to visiting in person. Love that they don’t use plastic holders, DUH!!! Wish I could find it at more stores. Come on HEB!!

All outdoor seating, lots of shade from trees and shade sails. Some covered seating up by the bar. Lots of IPAs on the menu.

We went during the week and our reservation time was for 9:00 am so it was easy to park and get in the zoo. The later you go, parking becomes a nightmare, so keep that in mind. We had a great visit. I love that it opens at 9 because it gives the kids and I time to enjoy the zoo before it’s lunch and nap time. We were lucky and the animals were out and about that day. The other guests there were respectful or space and taking turns. Some people wore masks, some did not. The only place I was nervous about the closeness was in the reptile house, so we hurried through and continued seeing the animals that are outside. I do wish there were more bathrooms along the way. Seeing the zoo with 2 little ones, someone always has to use the bathroom, ALWAYS. It was a great trip to the zoo. I know we could have easily spent more time there.

It was our first time visiting here. It was such a great zoo. Plenty of shade. The water pond in the middle of the zoo when you walked in was beautiful. We got to see the new exhibit. It was awesome! We rented one of the motorized wheelchairs for my mom. It was like $45 I think for the day. It had a canopy and basket for items. It was my moms first timing using a motorized one and she loved it. My family loved this zoo. We bought water bottles here for $5 each and then refilled them with the refill stations. We would love to visit again if we get the chance.

Great zoo! Fun and easy walk throughout the park. Animals seemed happier than most zoos I’ve been to. Elephants were playing. Be prepared to walk if you don’t get there early for a parking spot. I recommend skipping the hassle of trying to find a spot and just parking at the history museum garage and taking the awesome stroll through Hermann Park. Which is beautiful!

We went on Thanksgiving Day after we had dinner. There were more people than I had expected but it was still a relatively small crowd. There were so many different locations and variations of lights that everything felt fresh and the fake snow was a really great touch. They had little smore sections and my kids really enjoyed that. This is definitely a tradition we want to keep up in future years.

We had not been to the zoo in several years, it is amazing now that is privately owned. It’s clean no trash on the ground. Bathrooms were clean. The animals were out and look so healthy and well cared for go early in the morning while the animals are out and about there was a baby giraffe,and one of the elephants is pregnant you can spend an entire day there. You can also bring your own food and drinks. The gift shop has such wonderful stuffed animals for the kids. Really neat souvenirs.

The Houston zoo is a very nice zoo. We've been going since children and all the updates they've done over the years definitely add to the experience.It's always clean and tidy with great locations for snacks and beverages. The staff and keepers are all awesome and very knowledgeable of their respective exhibits. There are also a ton of volunteers here too which is awesome.We've recently decided to get a membership because it's really nice to just be able to pop in any time you like for a stroll. It's like a stroll in the park but full of lovely and exotic animals.I used to love seeing the familiar white alligator in the reptile exhibit but they've since relocated him to a nature reserve south of Houston.The zoo can get really busy on the weekends and I would highly recommend getting here before 10am otherwise you'll be driving circles trying to find a parking spot.

BOO ZOO! One of our favorite times of year to visit the zoo. Great experience for the family as always. Parking was not awful today but I will say the last 5 times we’ve tried to go on Friday or Saturday we haven’t found a parking spot. Definitely would recommend going during the week and earlier in the day if at all possible. But once you get inside it’s a really great zoo! Tons of updates have happened since we’ve moved here nearly 10 years ago and I feel like each time we go there are always improvements happening to make the zoo even better!

Be careful, it may be too hot and humid to visit during the summer as we did, but the experience itself was pretty good. I am an optimist, so I just imagined being on a safari in the jungles or something 🤣But I would not recommend going there during excessive heat; otherwise, you will have a mixed experience of joy and suffering.Be prepared to pay extra 9 bucks for three salad leaves if you want to get close to the giraffes 😬Not all animals were there, especially some big cats and rhinos. But maybe they are just smarter than us and stayed in the shadows 😅Overall, it was a very cool and educational journey!

I love the zoo. Their newest exhibit, the Galapagos Islands, is awesome. I go to the zoo frequently, I go both with friends and alone. I enjoy the exhibits greatly, my favorite is the primates. I can sit for a very long time watching them, and I believe that watching these animals has made me care about them/their natural habitats more. Some animal exhibits, notably the older ones, are less fun to look at. The big cats, like the tiger, are in pretty small spaces and end up pacing back and forth endlessly. The seals were in a container like this, without a lot of space, but they were recently moved to a fantastic space with the creation of the Galapagos exhibit. The Houston zoo is pretty good at keeping the animals in healthy environments, and I see them constantly working to make things better for the animals. The employees are very kind and many will stop and talk to me at length about the history or preferences of animals in the zoo. I love the big pretzels they sell at the zoo, even though they are $8.

Really enjoyed the zoo. Went on a Monday with SO and bonus child! She fights going to daycare so I figured I would take her to do something fun! I liked that it was not crowded! Grabbed a pretzel with cheese and a vanilla latte from a stand. It was good! Definitely recommend the Houston Zoo!

The 1st Tuesday of the month is FREE DAY! My friends and I were lucky to snag some tickets and enjoy a wonderful day of exploration at the zoo.First off the restrooms here are so CLEAN. Thank you. I'm always scared to use public restrooms in tourist spots but they do such a good job of keeping this zoo sanitary.Tons of families, couples, and groups of friends viewing the animals. Most animals had a buddy in their enclosure so it was nice to see the efforts they put in the make sure the animals aren't alone.Very easy to navigate with the maps and arrows all over the park. Tons of restrooms and free water refill. It's nice they let you bring outside food and drinks as well as a cooler!We finished the zoo in about 2 hours and 30 minutes. Perfect amount of time and lots of shaded areas as well as indoor AC viewing.Lovely little zoo. I'd bring friends and family here!

Great zoo to visit if you are in Houston! Lots of exhibits and fun things to look at! The entry price is reasonable and we got the extra ticket for the dinosaur attraction that is seasonal. Great for small children. Lots of walking, but plenty of places to sit and rest. There are food and snack options but a little pricey and just ok. I think they could expand the food options tremendously and probably make a killing with revenue.Things to consider: the zoo is located in the museum district just a short walk from the natural history museum which is another great place to visit, but parking is terrible. Get there early or be prepared to have to drive around quite a bit to find parking. You can park at the museum parking garage but that runs about $30. I like to take a ride share if possible. Traffic is bad everywhere in Houston so it is what it is.

Me and my kiddos went two days ago on Tuesday and had a blast! Lovely spring weather and not many people in the zoo despite the parking lot being full! Guess most people were in the park next to it. Lots of the animals were out and moving around which was super awesome and one of the gorillas even came up to the window to say hi to us! Didn’t catch his name though

We went on the first Tuesday of the month which is free! I had to log in on May 1 at 7:00pm for a spot to reserve a free ticket. I reserved them around 10:15pm and we were able to enter the park at 2:00pm in May 7 for free. It was great. The new Galapagos exhibit is amazing. We loved the penguins the best.

An amazing zoo! The water tunnel was really cool! And the baby giraffe is adorable!It also had really great disability access and the ability to rent wheelchairs for those who need it.I had an amazing time! Thanks for all that you do!

I LOVE this Zoo! The membership price is so worth it if you live in Houston or the burbs. Two visits and you’ve already paid for the memberships- totally a steal! The exhibits are well done. The animals are in very beautiful habitats and that makes me happy. The staff really takes care of them. Their entire motto is “See Them. Save Them” and I love that they really work to protect and save all of these beautiful creatures. In December they do Houston Zoo Lights and it’s phenomenal! The weather is usually very enjoyable and the lights are spectacular. They even have photos with Santa which is super cute. My one piece of advice is GO EARLY. Parking gets insane on the weekends and you can spend 45 minutes trying to park. Also, bring a stroller! It’s a ton of walking! If you go in summer, bring lots of water, snacks and even a fan! You will love going here!

What a terrific zoo! The main reason for yesterday's visit was to see the new Galapagos Island exhibit and it did not disappoint! It was amazing and we got to hear them talk about the sea lions and watch them get treats. We also heard about the exhibit itself and all the features it has. Beyond the sea lion pool was a wonderful exhibit of other island wildlife. So much fun to wander through and see the other animals and sea life. The rest of the zoo is also a winner! Not only are the exhibits very well done, but there is plenty of seating to relax and just enjoy the environment. The primates, elephants, giraffes, and birds were my favorite. The landscaping adds to the overall feel. Well done!

I always love going here! There's so much to see! I also love how they're adding new stuff and fixing things. They added the underground seal exhibit. Which kind of scared me because being under the water made me feel like I was drowning! But that's not a bad thing, I'm just scared of water haha. It was so cool seeing the seals swim above you! This is a perfect place to bring family or friends or just yourself. The workers are always willing to help and on a weekday it's not as busy as it would be on the weekend. There are plenty of bathrooms with air conditioning. And there's a lot of different places you can refill a bottle of water. However, I wish the refill of water areas had actually cooled cold water but at least they're available for free.One of my favorite parts is near the petting zoo, there's this silly cow there that loves to have its neck pet! The only thing I don't really care about the zoo is definitely the drive there, but that's not the zoo's fault. Sometimes parking can be a little difficult. Other than that this is a perfect place to go!

Over all pretty good experience but definitely could use some water sprayers and stronger fansGetting the city pass would be the only way to come here and they still can have issues trying to check in with those too so just a fyi. And if it's too hot all the cats won't be available and other animals and no warnings when you enter the zoo. The sea lions where entertainment but no good shade and there was only two out of nine out during my visit.

It was Labor Day weekend when we visited this zoo. It was a super hot day so like the humans, the animals probably were trying to get some relief too, so many of the animals were not as active. Best to go early in the morning… bring an umbrella for shade and a portable fan. I like that there are many indoor exhibits peppered throughout the zoo to get some air conditioning relief! Lol. We loved the Galapagos exhibit. Overall it was a nice zoo. Easy to redeem Houston city pass. My only suggestion, the flow of the zoo was at times confusing to navigate without a map. Clearer signage would be helpful in certain parts. Would love to visit in the fall during the cooler months.

Just as awesome as I remembered it, maybe better. Came on a Tuesday afternoon to avoid the huge crowds and it was the best idea ever. Very lightly people-y and only one or two exhibits closed for remodel. Had a delicious everything pretzel and enjoyed the relatively cool day with my husband looking at all the awesome animals. Couldn't be a better day in my book.

Nice to visit when the weather is cool, (we cane in December)! It seemed most all the animals were out & moving around which made it such an enjoyable experience. We had a few friends with us who had never been, so that was neat! They had all the Christmas light stuff out too, which is a great experience if you have a chance to go. But, it was neat getting to see it during the day!

The Houston Zoo was one of the best attractions we experienced while visiting Houston. It is a beautiful and clean zoo with plenty of shade and places to rest . Great variety of animals to see. We loved the elephants , giraffes, Gorillas , and zebras just to name a few. A great place for all ages to enjoy !

Such a wonderful zoo for a fun family outing when the weather is nice and cool. The new Galapagos Islands exhibit is awesome! You might have to wait in line for a few minutes but it's so worth the wait. Don't forget to bring a reusable water bottle, there are refilling stations. The cost for water and food is very high as expected but the cafe does have some tasty options. I suggest bringing a backpack with snacks so you can have a picnic by the lake in the adjacent Herman Park or at one of many shaded picnic benches throughout the zoo.

Surprisingly great experience. A lot of different animals and well organized sections. Staffs were friendly and informative. Dinosaur area was not worth it in all honesty but I guess okay if you have kids. If not, I recommend skipping. Otherwise great zoo!!

My husband and I went for our anniversary while the kiddos were at school for the day. It was a good little day trip. It’s very well shaded and has a few little water things to help cool down. We loved the elephant enclosure!

The zoo has animals from all over the world, including both predators and herbivores. Our kids loved seeing the variety of species and learning about their habitats. We even bought them funny t-shirts that show how to identify animals by their poop!One minor downside was that it got pretty crowded in the afternoon, making it a bit hard to see some exhibits. Despite that, we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend it to other families!

By far the best zoo that we have gone too. Mostly all the animals were out and active! They were up close and so beautiful! It was hot outside but there was shade here and there. And we had younger children with us and they had restrooms all around. That was so great! I definitely would recommend seeing this zoo!!

We travel the country and go to a lot of zoos. This one is in our top 3 of favorites. It is well laid out and easy to navigate. They are so many animals, we can not think of anything we didn't see! Favorites were the giraffes and elephants. I went straight for the sloth to get a pic for my grandson, and he was in a corner, so the pic wasn't that great. We went back 3 hrs later to see if he had moved, and nope, he was in the same spot! We had a great time!

We recently went Easter weekend, jammed packed but overall experience was ok, I haven't been in 2 years and they had an awesome literally cool underground tunnel with the aquarium going over you. I thought that area was super nice... it's the 1st exhibit on your right side when you walk in. I always enjoy the Zoo there. It's beautiful 😍 and an awesome workout 💪 literally hours of walking.

Definitely 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love Houston because everything is big here 😅 including the zoo .This place is worth it paying for it .a family can be here the whole day to explore all the areas and the animals!So many species and is perfect for a walk too .I had visited the one in Boston and This one is at least 2 times bigger and better than that one .Is perfect please for the whole family.So I love the zoo and all the animals.Specially the Galapagos area was the best ❤️

The houston Zoo has been awesome for my family, and I. We bought a season pass and have been going all summer and continue. To want to go during the fall as the weather cools down. Despite the houston heat, the zoo was still a fun place to go with plenty of fans and cooling stations around as well as indoor exhibits. The place is very well designed and you forget that you're in a major city while you're walking around. Not to mention everything else, that is just outside of the zoo is incredible too. Highly recommend for a wonderful family outing and good chance for the kids and adults to learn and appreciate these animals that we normally wouldn't see.

Had a great time here! The exhibits were all very well maintained and the facilities were very clean.Lots of free parking nearby.Came back for Zoo light and they were so amazing. Best lights I've been to yet.

What a great zoo experience. Probably my favorite so far in Texas. What I noticed that was a big difference from other zoos is they had more benches along the way to sit and watch the animals and more bathrooms! Both of which are very helpful when you're a mom! There was also a lot of canopy shade which helped ease the heat and made for an overall better experience. I did find some of the signs/map a bit difficult to navigate but sometimes you just have to go with the flow. We especially enjoyed the kids interactive stuff at the meerkat area, aquarium etc. The only part I could say I did not enjoy was the Gorilla area. It was so over crowded with people looking into plexi glass room at the "playing gorillas" it honestly reminded me of something out of a Planet of the Apes movie. I rated this zoo a 5 because of the family element, actual care of the zoo (well kept), amount of animals and interactive activities, and rest stops and bathrooms (which for any family is very helpful). The surrounding park is very nice too. P.S. Parking is awful, good luck.

Really enjoyed this zoo. All the animals are super active. Make sure before you get there, you purchase tickets online as they do not have a ticket counter, but if you didn't, you can scan a QR code and purchase at the gate. We didn't get to go through the whole zoo, so im sure we will be back to see it all. The area around has recently been renovated, so if you just want to walk around the park outside of the zoo, it looks really nice. Also around it is some museums which I will for sure go see next trip.

One of the most Visitor friendly Zoos for people with mobility problems. Pathways are wide and lay out is almost level throughout the entire Zoo. Mobility ramps are at all major exhibits. All most every exhibit has fans in the viewing areas to help keep you cool. Plenty of shade. Water bottle stations are ample. I suggest a insulated cup and bring a wagon with Ice chest for ice. One minor complaint, well make that two. Tickets can only be purchased online. My phone had connectivity issues making it hard to buy. Another minor inconvenience I couldn't find anywhere to charge my cell phone. Plan a full day to see the zoo.

I love the zoo. I’d hate to give it a bad mark after enjoying the majority of my visits. After bringing a disabled friend in and asking to use a wheelchair because they wouldn’t allow us to use our own mobility device, we were told we could rent one for 18 dollars. With that on top of the 33 dollars we had paid for just a singular ticket.When we had explained our situation, the worker had snapped at us and just told us that that was their policy.

This is definitely a family favorite. It’s a very clean zoo. I feel like they have a variety of animals.Parking is free. Be aware that parking on some days might be tough. It gets very heavily visited on those holidays, and the traffic in and out could take awhile. Be patient.There are a variety of activities beyond the animal exhibits like train ride, merry-go-round and playground.I’d recommend getting the family pass so you can take your time visiting a little bit at a time.

First time visiting this zoo. Plenty to see, exhibits are very interactive and animals are very active. Layout of grounds is a bit spread out, but can manage with a digital map. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Thank you, Houston Zoo, for this beautiful experience.... My kids had fun today and absolutely loved feeding the Giraffes. The parking is horrible, but I think all of Houston already knows that. 😅 hopefully, there are plans in the near future for some kind of direction.. but that's asking for too much now.

This has got to be the best zoo I've ever been to! We had a great time! The park is well designed and there was lots to see and do. The area was just beautiful and so picturesque. I liked the mix of animals to look at, and the variety of buildings and spaces to go in.

Always a long wait time to enter and if you go on a weekend good luck finding a parking space. I do like that they let you bring in your own food and refreshments which is unusual for businesses now a days. Animals are pretty much what you expect to see at the zoo. Go prepared, it’s a lot of walking especially for smaller children. They do rent out strollers if you don’t have one.

Fun zoo prices aren’t too high fun for the family and even for a date. The animals are easy to see and don’t have to spend your all time searching for them. Information and educational. OK loved it. Holiday lights is a little boring but fun experience at least once I like the reptile house nice selection of snakes and spiders. I haven’t seen the new Galapagos exhibit yet, but I’m excited to go soon to experience.

The Zoo is always a blast, downside to the zoo is the parking but it really isn’t that bad just don’t try to park right in front closest to the entrance gates. We arrived at noon on a Sunday and realized most of the animals are asleep at this time. So I’d recommend going earlier. There was a car-line to get in since it was a weekend and parking lot was crowded however the line to enter the Zoo was basically empty (we buy our ticket online 1000% suggest). We also shared a nice picnic at the park outside the zoo near the train station, beautiful shade and perfect weather. 10/10 Experience!

The renovations done here are fantastic. The animals are active and well cared for. Friendly staff. Air conditioned areas in between the hot sunny areas. Photogenic animals. Come early for parking on busy days because it will fill up quick. Must buy tickets online unless you're already a member.

I live in San Diego which has an amazing zoo but Houston's zoo has some great exhibits, especially the newer ones. This was my third time visiting. I go to Houston to visit my granddaughter and her husband and my 2 year old great granddaughter. We all love this zoo and even though this last visit was during an especially hot day, the heat index hit 105°, we still had a great time with plenty of shade and enough exhibits with aircon that we didn’t get overheated.My minor complaint was the gift shop didn’t have a very good selection of interesting gifts.

I never knew one could enjoy a zoo so much. Sometimes I feel like getting some great shots of the wildlife there. Other times I leave the camera and zoom lens home and just enjoy the stroll with the wife while enjoying great local 🍺 and 🥨. And by the way, don’t neglect the cafeteria they have. I swear by that double patty cheese 🍔!

I came during the zoo lights event, and I have to say that it was amazing. The way they decorated the event, you would think that you are in a completely different environment. The hot cocoa was a great addition to the night because it was chilly that night so It went perfectly. I originally thought it was not that big because I was stuck in the first section (my fault) but once I discovered that there was an entrance to go further, it took us quite some time to walk the entire thing. This is the perfect spot to take pictures because of the amount of lighting that there was.

We looove the zoo. We go about once a month. We love feeding the giraffes and going to the petting zoo. Playground is on the smaller side but kids still have fun. The food isn’t bad either. The staff is always nice welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended getting the membership. It is definitely worth the price.

Loved the water fountains scattered throughout the park. All the bathrooms were clean & air conditioned. Lots of shady walkways and cool areas. Bringing our own coolers was a bonus. The ticket cost seems too high but overall a good experience.

A world class shopping mall. This place is a gem of the city of Houston and a must visit when looking for iconic landmarks to cross off of your to do or must visit list when in Space City. Wander around all wings and visit each floor each time. The story rewrites itself from every angle of this place. Dynamic store activity is a reason people keep coming back to the galleria. Occasional celebrity sightings are becoming less uncommon when visiting. Check it out during the holidays and they decorate it to reflect the spirit of the most wonderful times of the year

Loved visiting this mall..grateful I was able to experience it!! Great variety of stores and food options. I loved their Neiman here🙌🏾 Clean mall with clean restrooms. Security on deck heavy so felt safe.

The Galleria is really nice , big , after pandemic this mall is driving , all the merchant stores were open , it was nice to see a mall that was not heavily impacted after Covid SIP. The only thing the mall was repairing was the ice skating ring . In San Francisco downtown is going to be ghost town soon, the mayor merchants are departing due to the homeless and thieving issues .

One of the best malls in Houston. Interior design is nice and there is even an indoor ice rink.This is a really large mall with several stores ranging from high end brand names stores to every day consumer shops. Stores range from clothes, entertainment, and there is a nice food court as well. Lots of parking available but traffic around this area is pretty horrible. Would recommend visiting if you need something to do inside or want to do lots of shopping!

The Galleria Mall is a premier shopping destination that offers a luxurious and diverse retail experience. With over 400 stores, it caters to all tastes and budgets, from high-end designer boutiques to popular chain retailers. The mall also features a variety of dining options, from casual eateries to upscale restaurants, ensuring a delightful culinary experience. Additionally, the indoor ice skating rink and play areas make it a fun spot for families. The elegant design and lively atmosphere make The Galleria a must-visit for shoppers and visitors alike. Highly recommended for an exceptional shopping and leisure experience!

The Galleria is an amazing beautiful mall. It is huge and has almost everything you could look for in a mall. I spent a few hours here getting my steps in and it was nice. Besides Primark it has every store you could look for. This is the first Mall I have ever seen that has an Ice Skating Rink. It was extremely relaxing to sit and watch the ice skaters do their thing. The Mall had some interesting food and as always the vendors and sales associates I interacted with were a pleasure. From a quick stop to a shopping spree this mall is perfect for all you shopping needs.

I really love this place. You have all the brands in one place that makes shopping experience easier. Very much clean place. It always smells fresh in here. Very spacious. You have restaurants inside. The only thing that makes me sad is they closed Rainforest cafe that used to here.. kid’s favorite restaurant.

Really nice ambience. The store was immaculate , very clean. 86 different luxury watches to choose from. Some were very sporty and more casual to much more dressy and elegant with casing and band made out of 14 karat gold. Very nice. Italian excellence. Unfortunately, it was the only year I had time to visit at any length. The galleria still has the ice-skating rink!

A great place to find gifts and spend extra time. The art gallery on level one has unique pieces on display, there are restaurants of some sort on each level (and multiple Starbucks throughout the mall), and the information stations are outstanding. I am going to miss them when I go to other malls now - the interactivity level is unmatched. Going during the middle of the day (in the middle of the workweek) definitely made for a less crowded experience.

I love shopping at the Galleria for high end stuff. Tons of restaurants to choose from. You can spend a whole day shopping and eating! It offers everyone something to do. If you or your kids love ice skating they have it there. It offers products from affordable to high end so there’s stuff for everyone. It’s fairly close to the main highway so if you don’t like Houston traffic this maybe a place to shop for you. There’s tons of hotels around it.

This mall is huge, probably take a hour or so to all around the place without going into any stores.There’s a nice map of the mall you can pull up on your phone. It’s also many huge interactive maps throughout the entire mall. Multiple floors and a parking deck that is a little undersized for parking. It was a difficult time finding a parking spot. I’d recommend giving yourself plenty of time and have patience when coming. Otherwise, great mall with lots of stores.

Variety for stores and you got many options to choose from. Food, clothing, entertainment, ice skating and many more. Great place to spend quality time with friends and family.

Nice size mall that had plenty of available parking during the busy early part of a Saturday evening and the mall had everything from Louis Vuitton to the Cheese Cake Factory. Also great scenic picture spot from the 5th floor of the Yellow garage.

4 stars only cause of the expensive prices and nasty bathrooms. I'd give it 5 stars for store variety though and atmosphere. They decorate really good for Christmas time!

Plenty of options to buy from at this mall. It was very busy when I visited, but the a/c was working great because it kept the temperature pleasant.I would say that it is a bit scary to park here, though... there were several men walking around the cars but I never saw them getting into any of them. I think that they should get a few security guards so that customers know that their cars are secure.

It is the biggest mall in Texas. It has almost all branded brand stores. It has many sections. There are plenty of food options and entertainment like Escape Room also. There is an ice rink for skating and a Christmas tree is put on during Christmas.

It’s one of the biggest malls I have ever seen. It goes on and on with all the best shopping and brand names. It also has great restaurants inside and a food court. Prices are normal and not much on sale.

Visited the Galleria Mall on the last of the year, very well decorated, looking stunning.This is one of the most famous and vibrant malls in the Houston area. You can find almost all the brands under one roof, in a beautiful settingThe area around is also very nice to roam about with a couple of activities, including the water wall.

Great Mall with lots of popular stores and a few which difficult to find in some other Mall locations. Love it and very good shopping experience over here. Must visit!There is the indoor ice rink in the Mall; the family and friends can enjoy both ice skating and shopping in the same place. It also provides the ice skating class in the early morning.Two Westin Hotels connected to the Mall building. It’s very convenient to enter the Mall from the hotel any time, if you stayed in one of them.Parking lot and parking garage were available and provided enough free parking space.

This mall is pretty big and is nice and clean. They have all of the luxury brands inside, and they have ice skating inside as well. It has nicely decorated interior. I personally liked it.

Huge mall, tons of stores. It's cool that it has an ice rink inside. Parking was surprisingly easy.Minus 1 star because the bathrooms weren't in great shape.

Did you know that the Galleria spanning 2.4 million square feet, it houses 400 fine stores and restaurants.The Galleria features two high-rise Westin hotels and three office towers.It’s a mixed-use urban environment, inspired by the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan.

It's a fairly large mall that I just happened to stroll upon. Nothing really special about it unless you want to buy a Tesla. Yes, there is a store for that I did find it extremely warm in there so that didn't help with my experience. I did enjoy having the option to park in a covered garage. I left without purchasing. What I was looking for was not found in this mall.

The Galleria in Houston is a modern and stylish shopping center that offers a great selection of stores and restaurants. It's a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, and it's easy to see why. The mall is home to a wide variety of shops, ranging from high-end fashion boutiques to more affordable stores. There's also a cinema, which is perfect for catching the latest movies. If you're feeling hungry, there are plenty of dining options available, including fast food outlets and sit-down restaurants.The mall also has a playground for kids, making it a great place for families to spend the day. Overall, I would highly recommend visit if you are looking for a fun and enjoyable shopping experience.

This is a huge mall. My first time in Houston, Texas and I have to admit, it's really dope. Lots of stores to check out and they have a good Chinese food in here. The atmosphere is dope. I definitely recommend checking it out. It's dope like John Cena on Fortnite 😎🔥💯

Pretty frickin awesome mall. Lots of free parking decks all around. I parked in the orange garage which let's you enter at the food court and ice skating rink.. yes it has an ice skating rink! Food court is expansive with good options and cheap options. Upper end area with the big names like Prada and Tom Ford with lots of security.. then the other side has forever 21. Little something for everyone. Mall is very clean and there was no rah rah. I liked it.

Love The Galleria. It is the biggest and nicest shopping mall of Houston. There are all types of shopping experiences available including luxury shopping. There is also ice skating and multiple dining options, including fine dining, fast food and sushi.

Very nice mall. Probably the best in Houston. Ample space and lots of high end stores. May be need more restaurants.

Galleria in Houston is an absolute gem! The diverse range of shops and eateries caters to all tastes. The mall's elegant design and spacious layout make for a delightful shopping experience. During Christmas the mall adorns with all the festive lights, decors and christmas tree.Though they have a lot of parking garages, still parking can be a challenge during peak hours. Whether you're a local or visitor, Galleria is a must-visit destination for a memorable shopping day. The Galleria Mall is a must visit if you are visiting Houston. Highly recommend!

Just had an amazing evening at The Mall! It's filled with high-end brands and the place smells amazing too. Tried to get an iPhone, but the rush made the wait too long. Will definitely go back for another shopping spree! #shopping #highendbrands"

Highly recommend this mall .Especially if you want to buy high end apparel. This is my go to place for high end clothing . There are many options as well for those looking for cheaper options in addition. Also, I need to compliment the valet team at the JOEY Blue Lot valet parking area. They took great care of my car. These guys deserve a raise . Thanks for all you individuals do ❤️

We like to go there as a family and walk though the whole place. There are so many vendors and food stations that u never know what good things you will find. I definitely recommend this place if u are looking for something to do on the weekends. I love how u can bring your own food and drinks even beer!!! You can always walk around the place drinking a nice cold beer to cool you down on hot days

Really enjoyed my time at Trader's Village with my family. It was hot but we truly enjoyed everything. It is a lot more organized than a couple years ago. The bathrooms were really clean even after lunch time. We'll be going back soon for Fall Decor and Christmas gifts.

Traders Village is a great opportunity for the small business owner to get a kick start. Parking was $6. They do offer discounts for veterans to park, so be sure to ask. We walked through several sections of the location. There are a lot of vendors at the location and we still notice they had additional space available. You can find some great deals on hats, tshirts, and more… One of the vendors’ booth that peaked my interest was the vendor with the mancave designs. He has some nice designs, if you want to spruce up your hubby’s mancave or a game room. There is also an RV park.

Pretty fun if you love shopping!! This is a huge flea market so we weren’t able to finish looking at all the stuff. Please bring comfortable shoes because you’re going to need them! They also have great deals on shoes and clothing and lots of toys for the kids. Unfortunately I was not able to take any more pictures other than this delicious agua de melon. Would definitely come back earlier because I could spend the whole day here

This flea market was amazing. Really enjoyed my day. Not only you're going to find whatever it is you need or don't but there's also a small area with amusement park rides...bumper cars, pirate ship, flying chairs and others. Nice to spend it with whole family.

Fun place to take the kiddos. They are only open on the weekends. It's cost $6 to park but entry to the flea market is free. For the rides, we got a wristband that cost $15. There are several places to eat, mostly carnival type foods but they're tasty. There's a couple restrooms that were decently clean.

Trader village took fantastic care of us and all it's guest. We come back every year because it has a great environment and the staff takes care of its guests and the general public. I would recommend everyone friends family to come to this event. Great deals great food great music.

Great place with a lot of different inventory. Definitely need to come dressed comfortably, hydrated, and with either a reusable bag/back pack/Cart to put the items you buy into. There's different types of foods, desserts, and drinks.

Very interesting flea market with amusement rides. All day ride bands cost less than $15. Shops had a good selection of items and food was good. Busiest day is usually Sunday. Take a wagon, and be sure to put on sunscreen and wear tennis shoes.

Not what I expected after reading about it as it was not that big. The road was very crowded and we spent almost half an hour before reaching the gate where you pay for the car park which was very crowded.However, it is nice to walk around in such a lively place and you might buy a few things.

This is like Easter egg hunting for adults!! I suggest you skip everything at the front and go immediately to the very back of the venue and outside the gate to find the cheapest deals available. There are at least a hundred different vendors who offer totally different items! Today I found Julia with this fabulous find! I will be using these vintage pieces (My parents had the avocado colored ones in the '60s) for years to come!

Cartoon Fox is the sweetest Guy.. He was backed up and he still fit me in and made me a special birthday shirt‼️‼️🫶🏽 He’s located at BOOTH Booth 1745follow him on IG @cartoonfoxairbrush

Very large outdoor flea market. New and old items from garden accessories to jewelry. Food courts and amusement park within. 5 dollar parking

Amazing, did a lot of of walking. You can definitely get some good sales. Had a varity of food. And had clean restrooms. The day we went they had Comicon going on.

Great place to buy very affordable items such as toys, tools, clothes, piñatas, etc. The rides are really fun, just make sure you call in advance which of them are closed for the day.

This place has restrooms that are accessible. Lots of vendors. Lots of covered spaces. Food vendors as well. Easy entry. Only slight complaint is leaving the site is a left turn for us and on a busy day it can be a little aggravating to exit. Overall a good place to bring your family/ kids. There is pavement rather than dirt and gravel so that's nice.

I love shopping at Trader's Village.They have so many vendors, you will most likely find anything you are in need.I would definitely recommend this place to shop for your Christmas needs.They even have a Christmas portrait booth to have a family photo with Santa.

I love coming to the Village. There is so much to see and incredible variety. For $5 parking you get rides for the kids, great food and shopping for just about anything you can imagine. We love TexSass Art at booth #510 for bath & body, beautiful earrings and summer dresses.

Got beautiful plants and birds from hereMy kids have fun too

Good place for buying Mexican foods and second hand stuff , even though the prices is higher than the average ones in the market

This may have been the wrong time of the year for us to fully enjoy this place. The store was sparse. The prices were high even for a touristy area. To visit the strawberry 🍓 field it was $2 per person and $1.50 for a bucket 🪣. The strawberries you pick were $3.35a pound. I suppose if you were entertaining a couple of small kids that may be fun. We passed on the offer. There were other venues for fun. It may be nice in the summer with a couple of our grandkids.

We went this farm and enjoyed the strawberries at the end of this April. Easy to pick the strawberries and a great place to take pics. Kids love the playground. The only issue is too many caterpillars in the whole farms! They are everywhere at the treehouse, ground and benches…

We've never stayed to play after berry picking and WOW was it such an added bonus! The staff/owners were so kind and generous. The crowd/lines were reasonable, games super fun, and treats were delicious, as always. Thank you for a wonderful Good Friday, Froberg Farm!!

Went here on the weekday with my sister to check out the corn maze and pumpkin patch. It was not busy during the weekday which was great. The corn maze itself was very well made, in the shape of a spiderweb. There are many cute photo ops, a water duck race, and a cool playground for the kids with a "hamster ball" type contraption that adults can enjoy as well. There were many other rides and attractions for children that are not open during the weekday, but they looked cool. The farm itself has an air conditioned indoor area where they sell fresh produce and run a small bakery. Overall a nice small farm to visit. The corn maze was definitely worth it!!

Went to the water Mellon festival and I didn't really know what to expect but was awesome and a great day out. Highly recommend a visit. Plenty of fun attractions and games for kids. Toddler friendly too. My 19 month old had a blast. Will absolutely return.

We came here for the strawberry picking and strawberry festival. $5 admission plus $2 per bucket, strawberries are $5/lb, plenty of parking on site. Overall, this was a neat experience. We came later in the season so most of the good strawberries had already been picked, so we had to search a little harder to find some really ripe ones. Blackberry season starts in May. They also have a little country store that sells a wide array of produce, jams, and pickled food.

They raised their prices again, but still good strawberries and good local produce. The customer service was a little off this time, usually very sweet and attentive. They seemed to be annoyed to weigh my fruit. I got a good amount, but waited until others had gone through so as to not hold up the line. The check out lady was totally sweet. I even picked weeds out there and fruit that was turning, not that they would have known or cared.

A fun place to visit! Picked some incredibly beautiful and sweet blackberries. Can't wait to come back. They also have a watermelon festival (July) and a fall festival with activities and a playground for the kiddos.

We love coming here,people are awesome, entry is 5.00, playground is phenomenon fir grownups!! Picking fruit and vegetables with your kids or grandchildren is an experience in itself! We have been here 4times and everything is a new experience!

If I could give them 10 stars I would. We took our Daycare to pick strawberries 🍓 and the kids had a blast. Mr.T was amazing with the kids on the tour. He teaches them all about strawberries and how to pick them. The farm had great snow-cones the kids loved.The play area is huge and kept the kids stimulated. We will definitely be back again.Thank you for having us.

This was the first event adventure activity that was worth the money. It was simply FUN!! All the play areas were great. The train tractor ride was nice and long. The bounce area was super bouncy. The corn room was awesome. And the playground area was the best!! Simple activities and good sausage!

Fresh strawberries, flowers and more. Kids have so much fun inside this farm, strawberry picking, duck race, corn pool, slides, bee ride, jumping sack, apple shooting, many more.. they have fresh produce like veggies, fruits and honey.

Came here with my teens and they really enjoyed themselves! We picked fresh strawberries, got some mini pies and bought some frozen sausage for dinner! We love this place! ❤️

My family and I enjoyed picking strawberries and seeing the beautiful flowers. Until the officer on the premises followed us around the property after paying for strawberries we picked, including to the playground, then to the red barn backdrop, back to get a snowcone, and finally, where we sat down for the kids to eat near the big tree. I am displeased and will not recommend or return to this place.

Froberg's has been a favorite in my family for years. However, this weekend, we attended the Fall Festival there. While waiting on family to arrive, my husband ordered some fried pies. The fruit pies were delicious as expected but the egg fried pie looked like it had been sitting in a puddle of oil and the grease dripped down our hands and arms when we picked it up. The fall fest was $15/person which is quite high for parents to sit and watch the kids play.

We went on a beautiful sunny day. Spent around for two hours to pick some strawberries and some pictures. A nice place to spend some time and get some good berries

Great homegrown veggies and fruit! Fresh with a large seasonal variety. The BEST Homegrown watermelon 🍉.

It was ok. They had lots of things to do with little ones...but not much really for adults other then flower/pumpkin picking or maze (Which I didn't participate as I was with family members with a little one . I am sure it will be better tomorrow, maybe ?? 🤔But otherwise, it's pretty good. I went today but am going again tomorrow (Saturday)to get a better experience. I will update this review later. But if you are looking for things for little ones, then this is your spot for fall fun!! 😊🌻🍂🍁🌽🎃UPDATE...Yep...next day was great. Not that there were any adult activities other then the shooting games but it was lively and really enjoyed watching everyone having a great time. Definitely one to revisit again.

Came for the strawberry pickings. The strawberry festival side was closed due to the heavy rain we had the day before. $5 for admission and $3 to buy their bucket to keep. Highly recommend wear rain boots or crocs, the patches were very muddy. They have a garden hose for you to spray down your shoes and strawberries too when done. The kids had fun picking their own strawberries, so many rows to go through. Once done, you pay for the pounds of strawberries $5/lbs.

I came here to get some watermelons, and they were delicious, so I'll rate 2 stars strictly for that.If they are going to be geared towards the natural living side of things, with farming and ethically sourcing items, then they should only carry organically homegrown or organically imported things or separate the store into organic and not ... I was shocked to see there was a lot of fruit that had that disgusting apeel on it and numbers starting in 4. Why would I travel 25 minutes to buy produce at a more expensive price than the regular grocery store, and it NOT even be organic?Another note I have to point out is the blatant lie on their seasonings in the meat market store. One side says no MSG and brags about it, and then on the other side of the ingredient list, the second ingredient is monosodium glutamate, which is the same damn thing!

Very unpleasant experience. I tried on jeans and wanted to wear them immediately. Treated me as a thief. I was not allowed to shop anymore and was forced to go to the cashier. One sale rep asked another one how many pairs of jeans I tried on. I understand this is some precious measure, but please try to do it in a different way and not in front of a customer.

Store needs training in customer service. I walked in, and the employee did not greet, did not notice I was inside the store, and was running his mouth with a customer. I could have easily taken stuff. I looked round and still did not notice I was in the store. I went to Burberry, and Versace wonderful service also felt welcomed. If they don't care to acknowledge the customer, then don't spend your $$$ at armani.

Armando went the extra mile for me. Even though his store didn’t have the black tux I needed in my size, he called a tailor to see if they could size the larger tux to my size. When that didn’t work, he found the tux I needed at the Allen, TX. store. He’s a customer service professional of the first order. I’m a national sales manager- he is the one we’re all looking for! yeah

Never had such a hard time spending a thousand dollars in my life. Refused to swap a pair of pants from a suit to make an correctly fitting ensemble. Instead found it a better idea to try to sell me on a jacket that did not fit correctly. Have bought suits from here in the past where the employees had no problem switching out the pants to the correct size. Would love to buy more suits from here in the future but the policy prevents me from doing so. Unreasonable policies, unhelpful employees and deceitful sales tactics made my most recent visit a 1 star experience.

Be careful about the products’ price of this location. I bought a watch for $242 and it was originally listed for $445. As soon as i got home I checked on google and found that the watch listed on many other websites including Amazon for only $140 and the seller is also Armani. There is no refund, no price match, only exchange but I don’t trust their products anymoreI feel so disappointed the way i am not trusting this brand any more. I called the store there is no email for corporate to communicate with. I can only talk to the store manager when she comes back to the store, which i am sure won’t offer me a full refundBut how come there is no customer service for a company like this !!!! No email neither phone number!!!!

After being rudely talked down on by a Calvin Klein employee for dressing unprofessional and not allowing us to try on the pieces assuming we had no money, We ran over to this lovely establishment. We were in a rush to find a suit for my interview so Alise, a super helpful and wonderful woman, helped us choose out an amazing woman’s two piece $1500+ suit that was for sale $279! WHAT A STEAL! Not only was she sweet and super helpful, She let me try on the clothes too! Unlike CK, she knew exactly what she was doing and never looked down and degraded us for how we dressed! So, not only did I leave with my first Armani suit! I also got the job!!! Thank you so much Alise for all your help and patience and hard work! And thank you Armani for such amazing pieces! 💕💕💕

Manager doesn't want to exchange a polo tshirt from xl to large ,she ask me for the receipt but I lost it.

If I every need anything from this location, I would definitely go to Wildren or Veronica for help! They are definitely the best associates out there. They went above and beyond to help me when I only needed one item. I got a belt from them, and they even went as far as sizing it for me. Five stars for their help!

We attended the Sugar Land Holiday Lights and it was an amazing experience ✨It’s great for all ages. Parking was not an issue although the line was pretty long to get inside. It’s easier if you can populate your tickets before you get to the gate.Even if you don’t do the carnival you’ll enjoy the parks, hot cocoa, and even s’mores. There’s a lot of interactive photo ops throughout the park.Definitely adding this to our holiday tradition and looking forward to going back next year 🎄

Constellation Field is such a family friendly place. There's a lot for kids to do like playgrounds and even a splash pad! There isn't a bad seat in the house and the ticket prices a very affordable. The food is okay and a little pricey for a smaller venue, but it's a stadium so it's to be expected. We always enjoy our time at the ballpark when we go see the Space Cowboys! Also, parking is so easy and accessible even when you have to park in the grassy lot.I recommend this as an attraction for anyone visiting Space City or to any local looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Have been here many times for Skeeters games, and most recently for the unveiling of the new Astros AAA team name, Space Cowboys. Fun stadium with plenty to do for the kids. There's a playground to keep them occupied, basketball court for older kids, and an overall great atmosphere. Beer selection is pretty decent as well!

Truly a great experience at an AAA ballpark. First and foremost, the baseball was well played and there isn't a bad seat in the stadium. More importantly, there are plenty of things to keep younger baseball fans entertained between innings: multiple playgrounds and a splashpad are free to use on site. My sons had a great time for a reasonable price and I'll definitely be going again!

Nice place, small and every seat are pretty much good seats to watch the game, but I would recommend sitting in the right field for an evening game so the sun's not in your face. But under the over hand would provide enough shade to, same side.

Great outing with family and very kid friendly. They have 2 part playground area and a splashpad located on the outfield side of the stadium. There's a bar and easy viewing of the game while at the play areas, works nicely for the parents who still want to enjoy the game.Parking is $10 with card only. Will definitely be visiting again.

We love our Minor League ballpark!It can be tough for families to afford a day at the ballpark for the Major League teams. However, at Constellation Field, home of Sugar Land Space Cowboys, you can get $5 grass berm seats, hit up Dollar Dog Days on Wednesday games, and the kids can have a blast on the jungle gyms and splash pad!Plus, Triple-A ball!

I LOVE coming here for the holidays! It's always a good time. The lights are always gorgeous and the light show is exceptionally beautiful! They have reasonably priced food, smores, cocktails, and soft drinks. They have a outside carnival that has games, rides, and prizes.Its always a fun time! The tickets are reasonably priced for this event.

Driver review. We delivered here. Easy in and out! Communication with our contact was on point. They have a dock past the entrance as you continue to go around the building you’ll see blue picnic tables and the dock.

Stopped by to catch a game on our way to San Antonio, TX. The weather wasn’t so great but the stadium and facilities was too notch. Fun atmosphere with lots of activities going on all around during the game. Lots of good food and beverages to choose from! Stocked up on some cold weather gear in the store!

Really enjoy MILB. The action is just as good as the majors on a smaller scale. The up close seating experience you get is great. Food and drink prices are reasonable. Merchandise is not too bad and you can find some deals. The little in between innings activities are hilarious. Friendly staff all around. Food was good. Oh @ Double Dave’s Pizza your pizza is good, but not worth almost $9 a slice come on man. $5 a slice is reasonable. Anyways daily promotions are really cool too and can be found on the Space Cowboys website. My family and I will definitely be returning for some more summer time fun.

Excellent Pacific Coast League experience. Slightly nicer than Round Rock and almost as nice as Las Vegas.

Amazing AAA baseball field! The fact that our Houston Astros have their AAA farm team so close is awesome! Games here are fun & the views are great! Not a bad seat in the house. Highly recommend!

Pretty nice for a minor league team field. We came for the holiday lights, and there are a lot of fun for the family and young children. There are also stalls for small businesses with all kinds of items for sale.

Awesome place to see a baseball game. Had a blast today. Even with all the field trip kids

This is a great stadium! There’s good amount of food/drink options and a playground for kids. It’s very clean- they even have staff walking around the sections during the games to collect trash. Every staff member we interacted with seemed happy to be there too!

Very nice intimate baseball field. Love the seating levels. I especially like the entertainment during slow parts of the game.

Stadium was nice clean and well maintained. Parking was fast and easy. Went for a company party/private event and the concession stand workers were beyond slow. Lines were not long at all. It was the bbq,chicken tender, bar all next to each other. All 3 were terribly slow. Kids playground was well staffed.

Even the rain could not ruin a fantastic evening amongst the lights at Sugarland. The lights are great and there was a lot more to do. We kicked off with a scavenger hunt, played in the parks, and enjoyed the oversized games and sled in the snow! This was topped off with a hot chocolate. Not the best hot chocolate we've had but it was warm.

Visited there for Houston Halal Food Fest 2023. This stadium can hold 7500 people. It was awesome to walk around the field and checking out the food vendors. We sat on the stadium seats and enjoy our food. For parking, the management put directions, signs and also staffs to direct where to park. The restroom were clean enough.During Christmas, Sugarland's Holiday Lights Ceremony is organized here and is opened for all throughout December. Couldn't visit the holiday lights in 2023, may be this year. Finger crossed!

Nice stadium and a great minor league experience, we had a club package that included an awesome buffet. Will return again.

Constellation Field is not only a great spot for baseball games and concerts, it is a wonderful Holiday Lights destination. My family and I make it a point to go every year. Always a blast!!

Went out and enjoyed the Christmas lights in the Ballpark. Try it at least once

Highly recommend, tickets were fairly priced and the set up was absolutely beautiful. There were various places to take photos with lights and other props, plenty of over sized jumbo games to play and a ton of food and other small kiosks to shop from. The open park was also a plus. We will be back next year!

I took my nephews and daughter to a Spacecowboys game, and we had a great time! We enjoyed the concession stand offerings without breaking the bank and even picked up our free Shake Shack burgers the next day compliments of the Spacecowboys getting 13 (?) strikeouts!

This place is GREAT! I would choose coming here over an Astros game at Minute Maid park any day. It’s not crazy crowded, the food is great, and they normally give out free things before games.

We were fortunate enough to attend a game and enjoy the Regions Bank Club level buffet, as well as fantastic seats. We have been attending games at Constellation Field for years now. The upgrades to the playground are amazing. It’s beautiful and offers an option for bigger kids and smaller kids which nice. The people that work in the kids area are fantastic!! They are so sweet and very patient with so many kids. They help it feel safe for your children to play there. The views from the lawn seats are actually really awesome too, so even if you can’t afford seats in the first few rows, you can still get a great view of the game. The food is sooo good. If you can afford the buffet add-on in the Club level - do it. It’s definitely worth the money in my opinion given the costs of concessions downstairs. A truly special shout out to Tyler for being one of the best managers I’ve ever spoken to in my life. Someone taking a negative review and actually taking the time to hear you out and be open to constructive criticism is almost unheard of. Constellation Field offers literally fun for the whole family.

Beautiful ball park. Came out for Halal food fest for a second year in a row. What a nice facility. Would love to come back for a baseball game. The seats on the 3rd base side with little tables seem nice.I know the astros are right down the road but not too bad, sugar land!

What a fun time!!!! My first time to go a Space Cowboys game!!! It was amazing!! Great time with my son's family! Best time ever!!!

Great ballpark that’s big enough for all the excitement but not so big you aren’t involved. The games are so much fun and there is plenty to keep the whole family entertained.

I feel so happy to have been in this place, I still feel my chest full of emotion. They were the best. I got an incredible dose of adrenaline. Pedro and Carlos, I thank you so much for your excellent performance and company in this adventure. I could go to this place every day. days and I will definitely recommend to all my friends and family my 29th birthday will be remembered all my life thanks to you 💫

Spaceland is a very nice facility and runs well. All the staff is experienced and makes sure you have a safe and awesome experience. Shout out to Instructor Kip for doing a jam up job with the big guy! Highly recommend this place for you skydiving experience.

The best experience ever! I went to celebrate my birthday in a more exciting way and was the best decision I could make. Very friendly and fun staff, Carlos and Pedro were my cameramen and instructor, they were the funniest and most professional people to help out a newbie at skydiving like me. This place gives the public the opportunity to professionally learn how to skydive and get a license for it, they also give you the chance on the first try to open the parachute yourself and maneuver it after freefall which gives you a more complete experience. The people here make you feel secure and welcomed, it's definitely the best place to practice skydiving. Already paid for my next skydiving experience in this establishment, can't wait to come back! Thank you to Pedro and Carlos once again!

We had an absolutely AMAZING time sky diving for my fiancé’s 21st birthday 5 days ago! The staff was in a fun/amazing mood, got us so excited and ready when they saw we were nervous, they were extremely focused on safety and making sure everyone had a brilliant time. Even the cafe was great, the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had.Every single person we met from the instructor, our tandem divers, the photographer, pilot, cashiers, cook, etc. was just so friendly and you can tell these people really enjoy their jobs and are excellent at what they do. Thank you to everyone at Skydive Spaceland for giving us so a fun time, we will be back!If you’re hesitant about trying sky diving, don’t be! It’s not nearly as scary as you think and you will be so glad you had the experience. More fun than any theme park, jet ski, or whatever else. Just try it! 🛩

I hesitated for 5 years to book my 1st jump. FINALLY I did it. Best decision ever. Everyone was professional and very helpful. My instructor Dakota and photographer/videographer Greg were amazing! I felt comfortable and well prepared to skydive. I love the pictures and video I got. 11/10 overall experience. I highly recommend visiting this place for your first skydive and get the pictures and video package too, it’s SO WORTH IT.WARNING: you will be addicted. I booked my next jump the same day 😜 JUST DO IT WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!!

10/10 Life Experience 💯For many years I was that guy who made everyone wait on the ride while they tried to fit me in the seat only to have to get off the ride and watch in shame as the ride left me standing there. I couldn’t even go to the water park and ride water slides.On March 30,2021 at almost 400lbs I embarked on a weight loss journey to get healthy and to accomplish my ultimate bucket list goal, to jump outta a plane at 14,000 feet! Today almost 3 years later I’m down to 260lbs and was able to fulfill that dream. Skydiving was the most exciting experience of my life. I’ve conquered by far my biggest fear and feat of my life!It was the staff tho at Skydive Spaceland Houston that really put us at ease. From the Initial phone call I made to the time I walked in the door they were so nice and accommodating. The facility is huge with lots to do while you wait. The viewing area and deck made it fun to watch all the jumpers before us. My instructor Matthew was top notch! 9500+ jumps under his belt made me not worry about a damn thing. Every staff member said oh you got the best in the business and I truly felt that. The experience was so dope I already took advantage of their discount program and prepaid for my next jump! Can’t wait to go here again.

I had the coolest experience of my life at spaceland! It was my first jump and I was terrified. I was overcoming a fear. My instructor Pedro was beyond amazing. He calmed my fears and made me feel so safe the entire time! I never felt like I was in danger. He helped me enjoy the experience and take it all in, even when I was panicking 😂 I didn’t think I’d want to do it again, but I definitely do!

I was completely comfortable the throughout the entire process. The instructors were quick to addresses any concerns or questions you may have had prior to the jump. We watched an instructional video had an in person instructor during the videos. After that we went down to gear up and go over any further questions if you had any. There are jump suits to use during your jump or jump with the clothes you came in. The plane ride was comfortable but compact. The view was amazing and the instructor went over mid air plans and what to expect. The jump was AMAZING and definitely recommend going. I went ahead and got the video package since it was my first jump. Well worth it! It included over 80 high definition photos along with video paired with music of your choice (country, rock, metal, hip hop, classic rock ect). I will be jumping again! My instructor was Chris Brewer and video photographer was Jeff!

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Dakota and Dylan. They made us feel so comfortable and secure before the jump, after the jump, during the freefall, and all the way to we landed safely on the ground.. We were very nervous because this was our first time ever doing anything like this. They inspired us so much that when we come back to visit Texas, we will definitely do it again. This was an undescribable awesome experience for us! We have already recommended our friends and family. 💜💜

Super fun experience. The staff is so upbeat and friendly. The pride themselves in safety and having a fun time.If you're on the fence about skydiving, just do it.If it's your first time skydiving, get the video. You'll want to relive this moment over and over again. Its expensive but so worth it!

Best Experience Ever! I had an absolute blast! I loved the all around energy. The staff is super fun and they made me laugh the whole time. Raul was my instructor and he was awesome! He executed the instructions very well. Him and Charlie were definitely the life of the party. I will definitely be going back soon!

I had a Great Experience, instructor Kevin & videographer David were Great what a team. Its scary but I had faith in my instructor and Kevin was totally fantastic.This is the best place to do your tandem jump. I would not have jumped anywhere else. Skydive Spaceland Houston is the best...

I had an amazing experience making my first jump with Kevin (instructor), and Greg (videographer). Kevin put me at ease quickly, was a great instructor, and made sure that I had a really great time. Everyone from the pilot to the team on the ground made sure I was setup for success, and that it was a seamless and enjoyable day.Greg took awesome pictures and videos and I'm very glad I booked the full video/photo package to document this. I can't wait to come back and do my second jump with the team.

This place is top notch! Bought a jump for my thrill seeking step daughter and I. I had to call to change my prepaid reservation, then I called to ask a few questions, every interaction I had was extremely friendly. Day of, everybody was super nice, instructors were informative and friendly. Made for a really memorable experience. Also I’ve been tandem jumping before at another company decades ago, and with Spaceland Houston you get to steer the parachute, not at the other company I jumped with, to me, that made a huge difference in experience. Recommended 100%

I felt comfortable right away, they are all very friendly and helpful. Overall my husband and I are very happy that we went for our first time and no regrets! Thanks to Hank and Pedro for making it a wonderful experience & also thanks to Greg for making sure to capture every second on video ! 😊

I am hard of hearing, Ivan was my instructor, and he was terrific—funny, very patient, and had clear instructions. First time doing this, I purchased a package for my wife and me, and this was an incredible experience!!Thank you all for the exceptional customer service!! Highly recommended!!

Best experience of my life so far! My first jump along with my brother Mike’s 2nd jump.We had an amazing day! I can not wait to do it all again!!

Just did my first jump today for my birthday. I have fallen in love with it for sure! The facility was nice and the instructors/tandem divers were really nice and knowledgeable. Kevin was my tandem guy and he was really cool. They went over all the info you need and answered any questions. I plan to jump again soon 🪂

Most amazing experience of my entire life. Kevin, Carlos, and Angel were absolutely incredible to jump with. I didn't bring any friends with me to do this, but the entire time I was there, I didn't feel like I was there alone. Everyone was so kind and friendly. I had the absolute time of my life. I felt safe the entire time and knew quickly that my instructor Kevin would ensure our safe landing. All I had to do was jump out of the airplane! This is the perfect place for first time skydivers and/or anyone who's interested in pursuing their skydiving license. Thank you again to everyone who made this experience as unforgettable as it was. I'll be back next week.

My girlfriend and I have been skydiving here twice in the last month. This last time we took her 79 year old mom for her mom’s birthday. The instructors and photographers are great! It’s an experience of a lifetime. You’ll feel very safe.

Thrill of a lifetime. My instructor, Hank, was tremendous: a good listener, a congenial approach, a calming voice and demeanor, a highly experienced skydiver (17,000+). The school is fully ready to host brand new jumpers and para-crazies. Fear not, for this sky adventure will bring a lifetime of memories. Get the video package and re-live the experience with friends. WELL WORTH the modest price.`

The best place to skydive in Houston! I felt very safe and confident in my instructors. Considering this is an actual skydiving school. There was no doubt in my mind. The plane was spacious, instructors made sure we understood each task, and they were fun to work with. This is the place to go!

I decided to book my first jump for my 25th birthday and my best friend was crazy enough to join me, but it was the best decision we’ve ever made!! Everyone there makes you feel so calm and truly makes the experience into the best thing you’ll ever do in your entire life. Not only do they communicate incredibly clearly and professionally, but they truly connect with you on a personal level. Because of this, there was never a moment that I second guessed getting on the plane or jumping out of it, which is crazy considering what we were doing haha. Special shoutout to my instructor, Oliver, and my videographer, David! Oliver made the jump the most amazing, breath taking, and exhilarating, yet calm experience of my life and helped to make me feel confident in the whole process and David captured it perfectly! I truly believe that it was because of them that my experience was what it was. I can’t wait to book my next jump and then do even more through Skydive Spaceland Houston! If you’ve found this place, there’s no need to look any further. You’ll have the best experience here, hands down! 🪂

Best self birthday gift ever! My instructor Kevin was out of this world! Eased my nerves, made the jump exciting and informative....cannot wait to go again and will certainly asl for Kevin again!

This place is AMAZING! Ivan was an amazing instructor who was playful, very informative and I had zero nervousness because of him. David took the most beautiful pictures and videos!It was an unparalleled experience and trust me Skydive spaceland is best place for this adventurous activity.Thank you to this amazing team!

I did my first jump this Saturday, and it was literally one of the best experiences I've ever had! Jojo, my instructor, was fantastic—he gave clear instructions, was extremely helpful, and kept the energy high throughout the entire process. My videographer, David, was great as well; the pictures and video turned out amazing with some incredible shots. I highly recommend Skydive Spaceland Houston for anyone looking to skydive. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Carlie and Carlos were AMAZING. They made it so much fun. I am afraid of heights and it was the most amazing experience of my life. I smiled the entire time. It was great!

I had a great experience again! This was my second time skydiving here at this location! (Now mind you this is a school and they want to teach you each level for you to eventually be able to skydive on your own) they explain all this. You check in, watch a quick video and then go and meet with your instructor! My instructor was Hank, and he was awesome! Very clam, soft spoken and walked me step by step through what to expect. When it was our time, we loaded into our plane and took off. You get strapped together(tandem)closer to 14,000ft. The initial jump is out of this world amazing! After you jump you watch your altimeter and pull the parachute at 6000 ft. Hank then passes you the leads and lets you turn left and right. The views are great, Hank also goes over landing with you a this point because that part comes quick. Ultimately I had a good time, my kids and family came to watch me. Tip for the ladies: bring a hairbrush for after.

We took the kids along here and they loved it, especially our seven year old. The smile on his face when he saw the T-Rex was worth the visit alone. It's a bit tight charging extra for three areas once in but overall this is a great place for kids, just the right size.

Incredibly great displays @ the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Do pre-arrange guided tours of the sections you are interested in. Well worth the little extra cost. Also get an annual membership. This will reduce your cost plus reduce your parking fee 2/3rds. Do show your military I. D. For more savings.

It's not a big museum. 2 floors. Spaced out quite a bit. Can't give it 5 stars as a lot of the exhibits were out of order. Was pretty much empty for social distancing was very easy. It was super clean and there are bottle stations for water. The chemistry bit is interactive and engaging. The salt side is very informative. Fantastic really. Upstairs is an assorted collection of random oddities. Some stuffed animals. Some statues. Some random weapons. Essentially anything museum worthy that they could get their hands on in no particular order. For toddlers the dig pit was quite fun. Spent a good couple of hours in which we covered the whole place twice. There is also a rather decent park behind the museum so the kids had a lot of fun.

Overall, this museum is very clean, nice, and educational! There is a lot to learn and it's a great way to spend an hour or two with smaller kids. However, there are quite a few interactive features that are out of order which was disappointing. We still had a really fun time!

Much smaller version of natural museum of science in museum district. Very kid friendly! Not crowded at all on a Friday in the summer 👍 My two and a half and four and a half year old had a great time!

Always an amazing time here. Always new things to see. Can spend hours here any day. We love the butterfly garden especially. Easy to get around and even when it’s busy it’s still fun. Near so many other great places too so is a fun day out. Our kids enjoy it every time and the special exhibits are always fantastic

Small, but perfect for keeping the kids entertained for an hour or 2. Not crowded at all. Lots of different areas to explore.

Groupon tickets for all the kids families at Christmas, then we all went when everyone came to town for Letti's 2nd birthday which is Easter weekend!! Worked out perfect! Was a great few hours together for sure! ...oO(even if it WAS horrific rainy thunderstorm weather!)Oo...

Sometimes when some people think museum they think boring but this one was so fun! There’s so many different things here to look at, something for everyone!

This one is a small version of the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Hermann Park. The admission fee is $13 for adult, but you will get a cheaper ticket from Groupon.There are 7 exhibits: Hall of Paleontology, Hall of Technology, Science on a Sphere, Space Science, Discovery Works, Dig Pit and Block Party Too.It will take an hour or two to visit the museum. It is great for the children. There is a museum store on the premise to buy souvenirs from.

It's a little bit small for a museum, but items displayed are good enough, cover topics of dinosaur, natural resource and energy, salt & stone, etc. In Dec on second floor there's Jingle tree display room, some interactive toys for kids. At entrance there is a Dinosaur ride with seat on top, pretty cool, kids love it, but you have to pay for it!

The museum is very small but the perfect size for kids to be entertained for 2h and parents feel safer letting them roam around since it's not crowded.There's free parking and the staff is extremely friendly.We also had an amazing experience in the Dig pit station. Ms. Tracy, the staff of the time slot we reserved, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. My son was the only kid at the time and she dug with him while teaching him about the fossils and how to do the excavation. Thank you so much, Ms. Tracy! You made our day!

Lots to do and see skip the mummy movie just walk the museum.the planetarium is awesome

It was perfect for what we did - we took our toddler-aged son to a museum for the first time. He had a blast! Additionally, it wasn't very crowded, so he was able to move easily from exhibit to exhibit as different things caught his attention.Older children and adults would be better served driving into town and going to the main campus, though. I feel like this campus would probably cap out for kids around aged 6-7. There isn't all that much to see and do.It doesn't really feel like HMNS really knows exactly what they want to do with this campus yet - which is disappointing because it's in a really beautiful old building with some unique history. It has a lot of potential, and I bet it will be awesome when they do.

It's a great place to send an hour or two. Lot's of fun exhibits on the two floors with many of them being hands on. Parking is free and super easy.

Had a great time at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. So interesting that this place was a prison. It was a bit small but perfect for a quick trip.

I am a realtor agent in Sugar Land, Texas, and my office, Keller Williams, had an annual award ceremony at the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land. The location was fantastic for private events. It was a different venue than in previous years, and we really enjoyed our time at the museum.

The people here were so kind and the facility, though small, has very interesting exhibits that are super kid friendly and educative for adults too! Definitely recommend. 10/10

It was an excellent destination for kids aged 3-11. I visited the place with my family and spent around 2 hours there. The museum staff greeted us warmly and were very amiable throughout our visit.

Was looking for a very interactive place to take my two kids, decided to take them to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I want to tell you that this place was almost as fun to them as the bouncy house lol! They were filled with wonder and amazement, my 2yr old kept on yelling “Daddy look e dinosaur daddy, e dinosaur”. My heart was filled with joy the entire time, it was very informative. They have information about rocks, dinosaurs, sand, and other animals that existed long long long ago. I even learned a thing or two. The place was bigger than I expected, clean, they had parking, there was a ramp for wheelchair accessibility. They also sell souvenirs to remind you of your time there. It was a blast, loved it.

Great way to spend an afternoon with kids. Good size. Expect to spend 1-2hrs. They have extras so make sure to ask what’s available at check in.Staff was friendly. There wasn’t any wait time at each exhibit. A couple of stations were out of order and there weren’t many live exhibits even though the housing is available.Overall, it was an enjoyable time. Kids left happy. Military pricing available.

Good venue. We go to a lot of shows and concerts… but it felt like a money grab. I don’t mind paying for parking a huge locations… but I dunno.The facility was clean. Friendly people. Just seemed like you were paying nfl stadium prices for mid level musical talent.We watched a good concert but I mean the artist hasn’t played or released anything in the last 14 years

This venue surprised me. Never been until Mastodon/Opeth/Zeal and Ardor last night. I hate venues with seats, but it is what it is. Massive parking lot. Easy access to venue. Tons of [extremely overpriced] food and beverages. Polite and professional staff, well except for the guy we ordered a Pepsi from. He was a bit cold. Didn't say a word to us after we placed our order. Getting there was easy as well, 45>8>69 from SE Houston area.Anyway, the theater style seating was great. Comfortable padding, seats are offset so you don't have someone directly in your line of sight. The sound was incredible. Seriously fantastic. I'm surprised how good a metal show sounded here. It blows Cynthia Woods Pavilion out of the water. Awesome lighting too.

Tonight Friday July.26,2024 was my fiancee and mine first time attending a show at the smart financial center it was so wonderful the staff were so nice & the seats were 5 star view we are big fans now we will definitely be back again

This was my first time going to this venue. It was such a great time and a great venue! I had a great time seeing Twin Temple, Volbeat and Ghost! View of stage was great and it was loud and punchy in there

This is our 4th time watching concert at this place. And in my opinion, the best concert venue thus far. Wherever you are seated you will have good view of the stage. And for some reason, the sounds seems to be the best when watching at this place unlike the big venue downtown. State-of-the-art indeed!They have very organized parking and with lots of usher to guide you. The place is clean; staff are great. One of the staff actually warned me (before walking that long hike from parking to door) about the handbag requirement 6"×4" only which is kind of nice and considerate. But since I knew that requirement and my handbag is exactly that size, I didn't have to go back.

This venue is my absolute favorite for music.Good space. Uber drop off/pickup is good.Seating awesome.Climate controlled.Acoustics were the best.No knowledge of parking situation-I think people were walking to a nearby garage.

Great venue to watch comedy shows. Have a great experience every time I go to watch a comedy show. The parking situation is really difficult when leaving. We were stuck in the parking lot traffic for 45-50 minutes after one show so hopefully they can improve that.

this place has lost its ability to be organized. I've been to many events here in the last few years and suddenly they don't know how to direct traffic, open concessions on time, manage lines of people, or check bags in an efficient manner. either they are understaffed or just don't care anymore. will really think twice about coming to this venue for events in the future. it's so far out of the way and I just end up wasting more of my time in poorly managed lines to get in and lines to leave the parking lot.

Always Great Seating, Clean Restrooms, Plenty Parking, and Great Events with a full stage. The concessions don't have the most filling food so eat before you come!

My wife and I recently attended an Ali Wong comedy show at Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land and was thoroughly impressed with the venue. The place has a cool ambiance, managing to be both spacious and intimate, which was perfect for a live comedy experience. The setup allowed for a personal connection with Ali, who was, as expected, super funny and engaging.However, the parking experience was a significant letdown. It was easily the worst parking situation I've ever encountered at a venue. The parking lot was chaotic and poorly organized, with attendants directing us through convoluted routes. This confusion made finding a parking spot unnecessarily stressful.I was also surprised and disappointed that they charged for parking, especially given the ample space available in this side of town usually doesn’t expect city of Houston money grab parking fees. This seemed unwarranted and only added to the frustration, compounded by the attendants who seemed to create more chaos around the parking fees and coordination. While the venue itself and the show were fantastic, the parking experience was a major blemish on an otherwise great night.

This facility is beautiful. It's well kept and one of the nicest facilities in the Houston Area. Parking is ample, but inbound/outbound traffic is limited so get there early if you can. I can't stress enough how nice this facility is, even the comedian we went to see commented on the venue.

Nice and clean facilities but the bag issue is overboard. Had to take my fiancés bag back to the car. Must be clear or extremely small.That being said, Jordan Peterson was great. I’ll be looking forward to seeing a new show there in the future.Parking could be a bit more organized. It was a challenge in and of itself.

Let me start by thanking Henry who works for Smart Financial Center for his help in resending my tickets via email. Henry went well above and beyond to help me recover tickets that were lost on a dead cell phone.Easy parking, but know that they manipulate traffic as you come into the center, so expect cones and roads to be blocked off but it was an easy drive in and an easy drive out.The venue itself is beautiful, I can't imagine a bad seat in the house. Smart Financial Center is a great size not too big and not tiny and cramped. Sears are on the 1st floor, Box seats on the 2nd and if you have a balcony seat in the 200s that's on the 3rd floor. There are elevators on both ends of the lobby. The staff was welcoming and very helpful with questions.Now the rest will be in caps: PURSE SIZE IS 4 INCHES BY 6 INCHES. SO MANY PEOPLE HAD TO WALK BACK TO THEIR CARS TO RETURN PURSES. I FONT UNDERSTAND WHY, SINCE THEY ARE GOING TO CHECK THE 4x6 PURSE ANYWAY AND YOUR GOING TO WALK THROUGH METAL DETECTORS ANYWAY. BUT 4x6 IS THE NUMBER TO REMEMBER!Overall a great venue, great seating, awesome staff!!

Came here to see Slayer, and not only was the show great, but the venue was nice and well organized. Didn't take long to find our seats, and getting drinks and using the restrooms was a breeze. Another plus was that our Uber was already in the ride-share lane waiting for us by the time we got downstairs. It was a fantastic evening, and a lot had to do with how much I enjoyed the venue.

Parking is not bad, good place for music or festivals! There's many parking places people can use, enough space, close to HWAT59/69, if driving along University Blvd, it will lead u to come or exit. Driving along Lexington Blvd will led u reach many places at Sugar land local. The pickup drop-off point is right in front of entrance to this hall, very convenient. We came to watch show yesterday, not problem with parking.

Great venue with excellent acoustics for its size. Parking is steep at $20, but the organization upon entrance and exit makes the cost more tolerable. Beverages are strong but a bit pricey. I would definitely visit again!

The food is so drastically overpriced that it is unreal. The pretzel bites seen below were $10.00 and tasted only okay. The people working there are friendly for the most part. Just don't forget anything in your seats, because there is absolutely no re-entry. The restrooms were clean and the auditorium seats were comfy.

Hand bags: 4 x 6 inches! Posting this to help make you aware before you get there... Take out your cell phone. If you have a bag this is bigger than your cell phone, they will not allow it! Dozens upon dozens of women walking back to their vehicles to put away their clutch-like hand bags/purses/ whatever you call them. Doesn't bode well for vehicle security purposes in my opinion. Anyhow I think that's a bit extreme, considering you still go through a metal detector. Parking is credit card only, or prepaid online. Pretty easy. Get there early to avoid long lines. Very nice place. No restrooms on top level 4, so utilize them on three or below. Seating was easy enough to figure out with lots of staff members. Drinks are a bit overpriced in my opinion but I guess that's entertainment bucks for ya these days.

I caution people when purchasing tickets to call and verify that the seats do not have an obstructed view. Purchased 2 tickets $265 to look at speakers and lighting equipment. When the tickets were purchased nothing was mentioned about the view. When I reached out to the Financial Center to politely let them know about the situation, they politely responded sorry but to bad nothing we are going to do. They easily could have given a refund or invited me to a different show with better seating. That did not happen so now I am disputing the charge with my credit card company for a charge back. It’s to bad this happen because it is a nice facility and I really wanted to enjoy the show and more to come, however their lack of customer service just did it for me.

There's a lot to unpack on this review. 3 stars usually indicates "meh", but there are good things about SFC. I'm just not sure they outweigh. Things you MUST know BEFORE attending a concert here. We saw Joan Jett and BRYAN ADAMS 6/28/2023. I loved the concert, especially Bryan Adams, but I won’t dive too much into that because this is a review on the venue, not the actual performers.PARKING: The parking is well organized by the attendants, but they funnel everyone in through several entrances and break you down to 4 lanes. It took us over 20 minutes to get from the feeder to our spot. Parking is $20 and is CASHLESS. You must have a credit or debit card. Prepaid parking is available, but I am not sure it does any good. The parking lot itself is huge, so be prepared to walk. It took us 11 minutes to get from our car to the entrance. All events come with difficult and pricey parking, but to compare, other venues have multiple sides and lots. This place has ONE side and ONE lot. Everyone funnels together and it's no fun, especially when you need to pee, just sayin'!PURSES: The purse rule is nothing to toy with - you will be turned away! I saw one man taking his lady's purse back to the car as I was making my way in and the girl in front of us got turned away too. The have a piece of paper with a square and if your purse does not fit inside the 4x6 square, you will be turned away. If you have to walk all the way back to your car, in the heat (or cold, for that matter), you will not be happy. My wristlet is 4.5x6 and I actually did not get questioned about it, nor did I have to put it on the little paper with the box outline. I was so worried because the girl in front of me had issues, but hers was definitely larger and she was completely unaware. It was a crossbody style and had to be at least 6x8 in size. Mine looks small, so that saved me (but I was nervous!). All this and you still go through a metal detector. I'm happy with the security personally.DRINKS: My chardonnay was $19.00 for ONE regular 6 oz cup. My friend’s cab was $22.00. No joke! Those prices are higher than NGR and Minute Maid. They only have cabernet, chardonnay and rose. No Pinot Grigio. Bottled water is $5.00. The lines are long, so be prepared to wait and miss some of your show. All concessions are CASHLESS. You must have a credit or debit card to purchase anything.These things are in no way to be taken negatively. They are just the facts for this particular venue. The restrooms are exceptionally clean, the staff are all very helpful in navigating and the common areas are constantly maintained with little sweeper people. There are several police officers at all of the entrances/exits. I liked that. I felt very safe. The acoustics were okay. I thought the sound could have been better. It seemed all at the stage area and nothing surround. This venue hosts lots of big names, and though I enjoyed myself, I am just not sure I would go through the hassle/cost for a band I wasn't crazy about going forward.I will be back for Jackson Browne July 21st. I purchased the tickets before I knew the orchestration it takes to pull this venue off with the least amount of headaches as possible.One more reminder about that purse, Ladies. You will not be able to sweet talk your way in, so don't even chance it. 4x6 and under ONLY!

I enjoyed my experience in this venue. The security at the entrance was pretty efficient and fast paced. Even the farthest seats get a great view of the stage. Brit Floyd was incredibly awesome.The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Loved the engagement with the attendees.Everything in the concessions inside is overpriced.They charge $15 for parking, I'd recommend to be there early before your event. Check if bags are allowed before going.

Nice experience. The person working there made us feel welcome and was willing to answer any questions.

We had a great time visiting this museum, learned new things.Josh was very helpful. If you live in Katy area you should visit this museum.

Excellent trip. Filled with lots of interesting artifacts of Katy heritage. Great docent, answered all our questions very well. Well organized. (Just missed a gift shop.)

The museum was very organized and clean. The exhibitions were well taking care of.They have a lot of interesting pieces of phones, magazines, cars and many others different objects from the history of Katy.They also have a small park outside where you may walk and see the old houses they have. Unfortunately they didn't have access to see them inside.There's a gazebo as well. It is nice for a photoshoot.The entrance is completely free. When we went it was empty. We were the only ones there (in the museum and at the park).

Friendly staff. They have a mechanical piano (historical). With permission you can tickle the ivory.Large working train set. This place is a live historical building with lots of references to the growth of Katy. You will understand what MKT means and it’s linkage to Katy.

The must see place if you are in the area.Wery well keept exhibition with the lot of unique things. No fences, you could literally look everywhere and even touch if you want.

What a great experience for the family. Lots of amazing things to see. Rich in history. The guys were very helpful. Recommended for everyone. Josh knows a lot about the back history.

I took my Girl Scout troop to the museum as a field trip, and they loved it! Josh, who runs the museum was super accommodating, knowledgeable, great with the girls, and helpful. He gave the girls a scavenger hunt, which they loved! He and a docent also took time to show the girls different exhibits and let them have some hands on time with a few of them. I highly recommend this gem in Old Katy.

Lovely place to visit! Very friendly staff. My 5 year old son really enjoyed the train exhibit. I think best time to visit around Christmas.

Learned a lot about Katy, TX. Thank you Sharon!

The Katy Heritage Museum is a treasure trove of local history. Staff members Josh and Sharon were friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to answer all of our questions. Our first visit was so enjoyable, we returned a week later to check out more of the interesting displays. A separate facility housed in the restored MKT depot on First Street focuses on Katy's railroad heritage. It is without question one of the finest depot restorations in the state of Texas.

A little Museum with a lot of Katy History. Don't miss the tour the old houses. I think they are open every 2nd weekend of each month. If you are new to the area it is a great place to know more about Katy History.

One of the biggest farms I've been to with so many attractions. It's more on the pricey side but it's worth it if it's your first time and you have kids. So many photo ops during the fall the only down side are the lines for food, wish they were more prepared specially since they know they're always packed. Other than that you can really have a blast here, best place for a pic is their pumpkin house :)

Awesome place!I must say this is a must visit if you are from out of town. Lots of activities for everyone and the family will enjoy it. The only thing I did not like was the fact that to order food it takes a lot of time due to not having enough cashiers to take orders, the process could be much smoother but it takes too much time to get your food. Great place !

I attended the fall fest with some friends and had so much fun! I was afraid there would be too many activities aimed towards little kids but my friends and I in our 20s had a great time! Lots of large swings and fun roller slides for all ages, plus pedal carts, flower picking, and corn mazes! A great place to spend the day outside and have some fun in a little country/fall environment.

What a gem! Such a great place for young kids and families.The animal feeding part was my sons favorite part but there are so many fun activities like the train ride, the tractor ride, the big bounce and the slide. Overall, a great place but pricey so save up 😉

Very nice and clean family friendly place. Worth the money spent. Look into the Groupon coupons or discounts before purchasing the tickets onsite. You can save some money through online purchases. Our family had fun, we will plan our next visit in the following season.

Dewberry farm is nice place to visit and have a lot of activity to do for kids and adults.Joined the school field trip and all the kids had blast and enjoyed the activities. Its near to houston so makes its day trip and during spring festival they have revered weekdays for field trip and weekend for general publicpros:1) as the name suggest they have farm feel2) lots of fun activity for kids3) all activities are included in the ticket price4) Big farm and lot of places to sit and have food5) Servers food, though I did not tried anyCons:1) a lot of mechanical rides were not operational like the carsoel and giant wheel and mechanical horse2) Toilet were not in great state3) It can get pretty hot during spring/summer so better time visit will be winter time

Our family loves this adventure.Favorite things were the carousel, basketball shooting, hay rope, playground, peddle carts track, giant slide, and looking at the animals. Price was kinda high but there was a fun days worth of activities.Will come back again for sure.They have great smelling food as well.Turkey legs and roasted corn.

We come here every year for the fun pumpkin patch experience and cutting down our Christmas tree. I think kids who have learned to walk to adults can really enjoy this place. The season pass is the way to go you get your money worth just simply going twice and don't have restrictions of time slots. The seating when eating is limited but seems to be growing, shade on our bright days is also limited would like to see more shaded areas. And the food is delicious fair like food but the lines are extremely long so I would suggest a bite to eat before and after.

The employees are amazing. Everyone is friendly and kind. My son loved our day at the farm. We are definitely going back!

I've been to Dewberry Farm twice now, once for their fall pumpkin patch and now for their Christmas Lights and both times have been thoroughly impressed. The food is really good and their staff is always so friendly. Thanks for all the fun family memories 😊.

Dewberry Farm is a quintessential gem among farms, offering an unparalleled experience for families and adventurers alike. From the moment you step onto the grounds, you’re greeted with an array of activities that cater to all ages and interests. The train ride provides a scenic tour of the vast landscape, setting the stage for the excitement to come.The giant slide offers a thrilling descent, while the petting zoo fosters memorable interactions with adorable animals. For those seeking a bit of airborne adventure, the gigantic jumping trampoline promises boundless fun and laughter. Throughout the farm, clean and well-equipped restrooms provide a welcome convenience, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable visit.What truly sets Dewberry Farm apart is the dedication and enthusiasm of the staff. Their expertise and commitment to guest satisfaction enhance every aspect of the experience, from safety protocols to activity guidance. With so many attractions to explore, Dewberry Farm guarantees a full day of joy and discovery for everyone.

I came on a field trip with my kids school. I was very impressed with all the activities they have there. Tons of photo ops! Since this was my first time at Dewberry i will be coming again on my own as I feel that there was so much to do but so little time.

Visited Dewberry Farm last December to explore the holiday magic at the ‘Merry & Light’ Walk-through Light Show. The enchanting kaleidoscopic symphony of dazzling millions of twinkling lights weave a festive spell. The displays showcase a stunning blend of traditional and contemporary holiday elements and lights installation.We bought the general admission ticket ($20 per person) which includes the "Merry & Light" Walk through Light show, Wagon Ride through the Berry Merry Trail, Train Ride around the Farm, Fun Farm Attraction etc. To my opinion, the Wagon Ride is better than the Train ride since wagon ride takes you through the light installments and the train ride just goes around the ride.The variety of food and the souvenir shop added to the charm. There are ample play areas for both kids and adults, including a delightful petting farm. The walk-through Light show was absolutely captivating, and meeting Santa was a special treat. Being able to ride the carousel as an adult was fun.The experience was enchanting and truly immersive. Highly recommend for a fun-filled day out with family!

Overpriced attraction for a pumpkin patch. 42.00 a person. We had a 15-month-old, so he was too small to do activities. Larger children were going wild, jumping and climbing 😳. Great, if you have an 8 and up, they have swing ropes and a lot of climbing and swinging activities. Very cool setup and a huge spread. Farm animals are friendly, I particularly liked the turkey greater. The band you get for activities lines was beyond ridiculous long! The train line was at least 2 hours' wait. I'm not standing in line for that! They need to figure out something else. HAYRIDE OR ADD MORE CARS ON.. they have lots of places to take photos together with their logo behind you.Needless to say, we left feeling ripped off.. cute farm, though.

SO MUCH GOOD STUFF HERE! All ages will enjoy this place. The light displays are beautiful. The rides are so cool and they’ve got some of the neatest vintage rides and attractions (all safe and well kept, just things you don’t see anymore). Food, hot chocolate and festive music. You can’t leave this place without a smile! The staff are even better. Not a single person who didn’t love their job!I also would recommend buying your Christmas tree here as well. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the whole process if it is your first time.Don’t forget good walking shoes/boots as this is a true farm. Would give a 10/10 if possible!!

My family and I enjoyed our visit to the farm today. There was plenty of parking, the restrooms were clean and they had a lot of them throughout the farm. I would suggest they add more restaurants or expand the ones there and add more registers. The lines for food were VERY LONG. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I would recommend the park to families that want to enjoy time outdoors together. There are also many opportunities to take photos and make beautiful memories.

This place is so much more than I expected. My 14 month old really enjoyed it even though he wasn’t able to do most of the activities. We went on a Friday and got there 15 minutes before opening so we didn’t have any problem finding a parking space. My husband and I also enjoyed it. Loved that they have a nursing/changing station for breastfeeding moms and little ones (real reason why I’m taking the time to write a review) A staff member told me this is the first year they have the haunted house and even though it was something small it was good. Loved the scenery from the train ride the view of the natural xmas trees brought me childhood memories. The food was good, a bit pricey but nothing out of the ordinary for places like these. We enjoyed burgers, fries, Mac and cheese (it was so good)…beers too. They have plenty of tables to sit and eat. They accept Apple Pay which is a huge plus cause at one point my husband and I weren’t next to each other and I had no cash on me. We took 3 hours to kind of see the entire farm, like I mentioned before my baby couldn’t do all the activities due to his age or we would’ve taken longer. The only bad thing I would have to say is there was a staff member (the train operator) who was cussing a lot by the restrooms (not at someone but he was really loud) not sure if he was having a bad day or got into and argument with someone. He was really nice when we the train so not sure what happened there. Other than that true entire staff was super nice. Highly recommend this place. We Will definitely be making it an every year thing.

Dewberry Farm is absolutely AMAZING!! I have a six year old and a 1 1/2 year old and they both absolutely LOVE Dewberry!My kids and I are avid visitors! There’s so much entertainment for the kids and Margaritas for the adults lol and their holiday events are wonderful!I attached a few photos from our last visit.

We used George Ranch as a wedding venue.The second I stepped foot on George Ranch Historical Park, I knew it would be the perfect venue for us. They offer an all-inclusive package that literally has everything and anything you could possibly want for your wedding. We decided to use some of our own vendors, for example we hired a pizza food truck, and the workers at George Ranch were so easy to work with and beyond accommodating to our requests. I have to give a special shout out to Chris; he decorated the chapel and reception hall for us and was so easy to talk to and work with. He let us make any changes we wanted, and his wife even helped put together flower bouquets for us. After our small private ceremony Chris drove us around the park with our photographer to get some special shots at the historical sites. Then during the reception, he was actively ensuring everything went to plan and on schedule.

Great first experience! We came to check the pumpkin patch and the set-ups were beautiful perfect for take some photos with our baba.The stuff is very welcoming and friendly. The tractor train is fun to go around with!Easy access and easy-going placeWe will be back

Got married at the historic chapel there at the Ranch. What a lovely experience. Staff member, David, was so helpful and accommodating! Would definitely recommend this venue for a smaller, intimate wedding with lots of historic character. Grounds were also beautiful for photos!

An amazing hands-on experience 19th century historical park. In every of the 4 houses there were entertainers which helped to even further submerge you in those times but also share very interesting information.When in Houston this is a must visit!

Great place to go if you like history. Not stroller friendly and there is a lot of walking, as the property is spread out. Great re-enactments and hands on experience. Great place for field trips.

I came here as part of a school field trip. We spent about 3 hours there and to be honest, that's not at all enough time to see everything. The place has a lot of history and if that interests you, try to spend a day here. They have guides who are knowledgeable and friendly. There's a lot of walking to do in an open ranch setting so come prepared with comfortable footwear and clothing suited for the elements. They have a gift shop with some interesting gifts. Never saw a food court or cafeteria, so bring your own food.

Worth the $! Plan to spend the day, there is a lot to see and learn. We packed a picnic lunch and sat under some trees to eat. Bring water, wear a hat. There is s tram which is really nice. The historians who work here are excellent!

Good place to learn and understand first colony history of Texas. The guides have good knowledge about those early families that populate the area and how their wealth evolve through generations. A good place to walk, or take the tram to the historical houses.

Went here with my daughter's first grade class for a field trip. From the very beginning the lady that was giving the rules, stopped her whole presentation to reprimand a child for playing with something in his hand instead of listening.No one in the whole group knew what she was talking about and it seemed weird to stop your presentation to reprimand something that was not even disruptive. But, after hearing the rules we moved on to the next part which was seeing a cabin.The 2 guides continued with strange and rude comments to the kids, and the parents.We were all tryin to be respectful and follow instructions but they just seemed unhappy to even be there or give information to the kids.The cowboys were super nice and informative with the children, and the blacksmith was great.The other gentleman who was giving the tour of the 1800's cabin just flat out spoke down to the kids with any question they asked. This was a group of 1st graders! I am wondering if they just need higher age limits for these tours because they seem to have very unrealistic expectations for how these kids should act.Our group is well behaved and we had plenty of parent chaperones who were invested in helping the kids pay attention and learn.But I would say overall a very off putting experience, due to three staff members who seem to just not like kids or their jobs or both.

Came from Omaha on our way to Hillsboro. Drove miles out of our way specifically to visit the museum. Website indicated it was open, but were informed when we arrived that there was a staff meeting so no house tour. Very disappointing. Call before coming.

One of the original 300 ranches in Texas. The George Ranch celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2024. Very very rare accomplishment indeed. If you enjoy history, cool, architecture, ranching, and serving your community, this is the place for you. George Ranch is still working ranch. George Ranch still serves community of Fortman county and a great many ways. You’re looking to host an event, they have several venues available on the property. They have incredible events at Christmas, they do a rodeo, they do a pioneer day. And it’s all very very cool.

BEST. WEDDING. VENUE. Chris and David are LITERAL angels to work with and made my husband’s and my Big Day so memorable and so special. David was so responsive to every (I mean, every) question I had as we coordinated all the wedding things, and he very much put me at ease in knowing all the details were being handled. Chris was also SO hospitable and helpful with all things logistics. The venue is absolutely gorgeous—our guests raved about how it was the most aesthetic wedding they’ve been to in a while, and how the chapel and hall really felt like a “Texas wedding”. The vendors recommended by David were outstanding, food was incredible, literally cannot go on enough about this dynamic duo and all their work they put in to ensure a wonderful time.From the bottom of our hearts, Maciej and I thank you both, David and Chris! And we will always, always, hold George Ranch in a special place in our hearts!

Wonderful piece of fortbend history hidden in a beautiful working ranch. You time travel through centuries. You get to see how people in each Era lived and worked. There are 4 houses, each set in different time period. There is a working black Smith shop. And live stock including horses, chicken, pigs, long horns. And you get to ride in a tractor from house to house. There are guides who dressed up like they are from that time. It was a marvelous experience.

Where to begin?! The wildlife, the trees, the scenery, the nature center, the observatory and the campsites all come together to form one of the most comprehensive and enjoyable state parks I've ever been to in Texas.Alligators of all sizes are prolific in this park, if you don't see several you didn't try very hard. We saw about a dozen in the course of a day. The variety and population of birds in this park is spectacular. If you are into bird watching I strongly recommend a stop here. Herons, ducks, Roseate Spoonbills, and hawks were all sighted in a single day within hours.The trees in this park are massive and very old. I don't remember a collection of such magnificent trees in a park so abundant and accessible, including at the campsites. And speaking of the campsites, the pads for RVs are the widest I've seen at a state park, anywhere. The size of the pad makes backing in an RV a lot easier than usual and also offers a convenient place for additional guests to park.The observatory is a nice bonus, but make sure you get tickets for the evening events well in advance!Finally, the nature center is a wonderful place to see live snakes, baby alligators, spiders, glass lizards, and hummingbirds. You can learn about the history of the park there too. Park volunteers and rangers were very friendly and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be visiting this park again and again.

Drove up here back in January 2019 from San Antonio to come hiking here. This Texas State Park is absolutely beautiful. The temperature on this visit was in the mid 50s. The park had plenty of wildlife including the alligators. Had a lot of fun at this park. Just be careful when hiking around the wildlife animals here.

My second time visiting the state park after so many years. It is still as scenic and fun to visit (for individuals and families alike) as it used to be, though it has experienced its second worst drought recently. Specifically, I enjoyed immersing myself in nature by hiking miles after miles on the park's many well-maintained, beautiful and tranquil trails.

Absolutely lovely! The temperature was high but very pleasant in the shade. There were beautiful giant trees all over to take refuge from the heat. It was actually cold overnight.The restroom/showers were exceptionally clean. The shower is wheelchair accessible. I enjoyed the families of deer throughout my entire stay.

A very nice and relaxing park to enjoy the day. The tracks are always clean and the scenery always beautiful. You can also camp either in campers, tents or rent a small cabin. Bathrooms should improve. take drinks and food and get ready to walk a lot.

I used to come here with my family growing up, and we loved it. Coming as an adult was awesome. The campsite was large. The restroom and shower facilities were clean. We saw so many birds and gator sightings aplenty! We met the park hosts, and they were so nice and personable. As a person of color, It was truly refreshing and comforting to meet the first black park hosts in the state of Texas.

We camp at least twice a year. Spring and fall. This year both were at Brazos Bend. It's a favorite with my family. It's close to home, and there's enough to do to occupy for a few days. The water is definitely low since we went in the spring, but there's enough gators and wild life to see. The spot we rented deer came through almost everyday. It was enjoyable except my parents had to pay extra for me. I got called into work and had to come later. Since I wasn't with them they had to pay more for my extra car AND daily fees for our entire stay. My mom has the park pass and I was listed on the online booking BUT because I wasn't "in the car on arrival" they hit us for all of it.Not to mention, the group that had our spot before us wouldn't get off at noon. The park police had to be called. They were pulling their lunch out and everything expecting to stay all day. Well the rules are, you can stay on your spot till noon. You must be packed up and off, but you can stay in the park in day use till closing. They didn't understand apparently. Once they left they trashed the spot. Poured juice and coke everywhere so we had an ant infestation. It was manageable though. We always bring ant bait.Overall it's a favorite and we'll be back.

I love spending time with nature. Seeing them in their natural habitat is always a treat.I find Brazos Bend State Park worth a visit, especially during Springtime season wherein I can find a lot of birds like Night Heron, Blue Heron, White Ibis, Whistling ducks, and American Cootjust being busy scouting for their foods.The main highlight and what Brazos Bend is famous for are the alligators. While walking at the trail areas, I can easily spot them at the side of the roads basking under the sun.Respect and great caution are my precautionary measures whenever I'm at this park.Other than that, spending outdoors and nature appreciation is the best here.

Great park and you’re almost guaranteed to see some gators in the wild! We saw upwards of 20! We walked both the 40 acre lake trail and the elm lake trail which totaled about 4 miles. Trail is good for bikes too and one of the gift shops has baby gators to pet

Less than one hour from Houston you are in an oasis for hiking, biking, fishing, birds and alligators watching, picnicking event sky watching at the observatory (weather permitted). If you camp in the park at a beautiful night, there’s always some neighbors who brings their telescopes with them. They are willing to show you Saturn, Jupiter and another stars, it’s amazing. Late fall is a good time to visit the park. The weather is cooler, water level is low so you could see a bunch of alligators at 40 Acres Lake, located near the entrance of the park. We bit our record of alligator counting last week, 26 alligators excluding babies.

Beautiful state park. We started out at the visitor center and checked out the live animal displays. They had some very cute baby alligators that we were able to touch. From the visitor center we walked the Pilant Slough trail (1.2 miles). We also walked around Elm lake which I highly recommend!!! We saw several large alligators and an abundance of birds and other wildlife. The campground was very clean and the shower facilities had great water pressure. We were only able to stay one night and it wasn’t nearly enough- I can’t wait to return.

Expansive park with lots of different trails, sceneries and wildlife sightings, nature center friendly & knowledgeable park rangers. Despite being one of the hottest days in Texas, we still enjoyed our brief stop & exploration of the park. We would love to come back in the fall to hike more trails and camp, nice camp sites, and Observatory on Saturday nights.

It's one of my favorite parks that are close to Houston! I've been coming here since I was a child, and I will continue to come. There are alligators, snakes and deer here, so be aware and make sure to take extra good care of your children and pets. I have never seen an incident here, but it's always best to be prepared. I have even seen a gator on the trail before, so be careful! This park does have some nice trails that help you find a short getaway from the big city.

My kids and I loved exploring this place and walking the trails we saw many different species of birds and 3 alligators. And a beautiful black snake minding his own business passing through the trail. Make sure you bring mosquito spray though!

Two thumbs up.We saw a ton of wild life including alligators of all sizes, vultures, birds of prey, herons. The paths were well graded and accessible for anyone ready to walk a bit. The picnic area offered plenty of space to sit and eat. It is a great place to escape Houston's metropolitan landscape and see how this part of Texas probably looked like a 100 years ago.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I stumbled upon this park - it's home to live alligators! I was in the area for work and decided to take a look, and boy am I glad I did. I went back every day after work and discovered a new trail each time. I'm already looking forward to going back next week to explore more. I live in California where there's an abundance of camping options, but I'm already planning a camping trip to this park for next year. It's just that amazing.

This was such a cool state park! I could not believe how beautiful it was, or the alligators that were visible at this time of year! I can’t wait to bring my entire family back. The Nature Center was well run, clean, and had lots of employees to answer questions, and provide education.if you go, please read the safety tips about being in close proximity to alligators. We saw lots of people getting way too close, and I would hate for things to change there because people don’t know how to follow the rules.

Starting off our year trying to visit as many state parks as we can with our pass. This was the 3rd and by far had the best playground, as well as a great gift shop for those who collect patches/pins, etc. they have it ALL here. My 3 kids made it difficult to do a ton of hiking so I can only assess the 40 mile trail and the short one to the observatory across from the nature center but my family had a great time, esp with the baby alligator they let my sons pet. I will prob come back another time with my oldest son to do more hiking 🥾 i included pictures of the souvenir section at the gift shop for those who collect patches/stickers/etc. since I never see reviews with those and they really do have a great selection

For state park within reach of Houston proper is pretty good. No more than an hour from inside the loop of H-town. Southwest of the city past Sugar Land and Richmond but still within grasp of the city and the burbs. I found the park to be well managed and maintained. Did not camp over night, but the facilities and amenities to camp seemed very good. There is a fee to enter and depending on the purpose it has variation of cost. Definitely recommend for near city escape to nature. I visited in March 2024. Beware, there are alligators in the water and swamps so little dogs might be prey targets.

Long walking trails. Saw 7 alligator sightings Several gift shops. One of the gift shop had a mini museum type of exhibit and live snakes and baby crocodiles. Several picnic areas. Entry fee is $7/ person but it’s worth it. Was there for 3 hours and didn't get to see half of the park, lots left to explore.

It's a beautiful park with many hiking/bike trails. We spent 2 hours riding the bike and didn't get to go on all the bike trails yet. It's close to Houston (35 minutes drive). We got to see many turtles in the river while we were biking. And one mooring, we was a family of deers run across the street. We definitely would stay here again and make sure to stay longer next time.

While visiting my son in Houston, we took a trip to Brazos Bend State Park, which is about 35 minutes from the city. We hiked the Pliant Slough trail to the Elm Lake Loop. I really enjoy this park because of its natural, "wild" feel. During our few hours there, we spotted numerous alligators, several shore birds, black-bellied whistling ducks, turtles, and some songbirds (we heard more than we saw). Additionally, we came across a variety of wildflowers, including Mexican Hat coneflowers, Pink Primrose, Prairie Nymph, Spiderwort, Violet wood sorrel, purple thistle, and others.They also have picnic tables and a nature center (it was closed the day we were there. Also, the park staff was very friendly.I regretted that we didn’t have more time to spend there as there are so many more trails to explore, but my husband and I plan to bring the RV and camp there the next time we go to Houston.I highly recommend visiting this park if you are in the area and enjoy being in nature.

Really clean well maintained park. Staff and volunteers very friendly and informed. Many different species of wildlife to watch. I viewed a new plant - Jerusalem Cherry. It is a poisonous plant but very attractive. Turks cap growing wild. The hawk was entertaining. Great park. Quiet.

It was fun hiking a 10 mile trail, a great place to take pets. I visited the place in fall and it was kinda spooky cause of the dried trees and everything, which made the journey more interesting and fun... But can't wait to come back in the spring 🌱. Hopefully I'll see some mama and papa alligators once they are back from the hibernation 💚🐊

Beautiful park. I went for a bike ride and enjoyed the scenery. Well maintained. Hopefully the water level rises. I can’t wait till I go camping here.UPDATE: So I came back and camped overnight in the primitive campsite. It was Holiday Vacation for the schools so it was kind of packed. I felt the campsites were close to each other but other than that, it was amazing. Such a beautiful park and friendly staff!!

A large and well maintained Texas State park with a little something for everyone. There are over 30 miles of well maintained trails, plenty of day use space and excellent camping options for tent campers and RVers. There is also an observatory with star parties on Saturday evenings. The alligators are the stars of the park, but we also saw squirrel, road runner, geese, armadillo, feral hogs, deer, bared owls and a wide variety of other birds.
