Best Parks in Houston

Here is a list of a few of the best reviewed parks in Houston: 


Hermann Park: Listed as #1 on many website reviews because it offers everything from the zoo to an outdoor theater, a Japanese garden and a golf course. Visitors can enjoy a picnic under the pines, ride the miniature train, rent paddle boats, or simply stroll about and enjoy the scenery. Plus, Houston Museum of Natural Science is within walking distance, as is the Medical Center. Hermann Park is also home to a children's playground, a lovely reflection pool, and a jogging and exercise trail.

Discovery Green: Great park with a  great sprinkler and waterfall system. There are free concerts going on and you can rent and race remote control boats.

Memorial Park: Memorial Park, a municipal park in Houston, Texas, is one of the largest urban parks in the United States.If you like walking, running or biking this is the park for you.

Houston Arboretum: Is a great place to get away from it all as well as a place to take the kids and educate them on nature.

Jesse H Jones Park & Nature Center:This 275-acre park wraps around portions of Cypress and Spring Creeks and seeks to preserve the terrain as it existed in the days of Native Americans and early settlers. The park includes forest, and holds special educational events every week. In addition, Redbud Hill Homestead and Akokisa Indian Village are set up as an ongoing historical display. A playground is available as well.

Best Movie Theaters in Houston

Image
My personal favorite movie theater in Houston is AMC Fountains 18 . They offer recliner seats and feature reserve seating and they even have a bar inside. Tuesday night you can get $5 off regular priced seating through AMC stubs membership . My second favorite theater in Houston is AMC Colony 24 in Sugarland . Movies before 12 PM are just $6 and they also serve beer & liquor if that interests you. Interested in eating a meal with your movie then check out the Alamo Drafthouse . The other decent theater is AMC Studio 30   which has a large array of movies and also offers $6 before 12 pm. You can always check online for special deals like a free drink or free soda as these add up your costs. Also if you are a frequent movie goer, it always pays to join a club like stubs for AMC or Regal Club which is free . What is your favorite theater?

No doubt you have many choices when looking for a coffee house in Houston. If you want a cosy cafe with great ambiance and excellent service check out Caffe Di Firenze . Located in downtown Houston, it features a very beautiful interior and excellent choices of coffee, pastries and panini. I tried their frapaccino and it was heads above anything you would get at Starbucks. If you want a real kick, try their cold brew infused with nitrogen. It is extra smooth and it will keep you moving all day long. Make sure you try this great coffe house as it is the very best cafe in Houston !
