Nature Places Map
Nature in Houston:
Houston Zoo
my advice is to get a map at the entrance and plan your route. the zoo is pretty big, and without a plan, you might miss some cool exhibits. i missed a few because i wandered aimlessly!
Hermann Park
Try to catch the little train ride. It’s only a few bucks, but it was a fun way to see the park without getting exhausted. Kids love it too!
Discovery Green
Look out for local food trucks! They have some delicious options that you won’t find at regular food stalls. I tried one that had amazing tacos and it was way cheaper than a sit-down meal.
Memorial Park
Downtown Aquarium
Consider buying your tickets online in advance. I saved a few bucks and skipped the long line at the entrance!
Gerald D. Guinness Falls Park
McGovern Centennial Gardens
Don’t forget your camera! The landscapes and flowers make for stunning photos. I recommend stopping by the the annuals and perennials for some vibrant shots.
Buffalo Bayou Park
Houston Arboretum & Nature Center
Sam Houston Park
I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. The park is way less crowded, making it much more enjoyable to stroll around and take photos without a million people in the background.
