Houston Arboretum & Nature Center

Nov 2023

OMG, the Houston Arboretum is absolutely amazing! ? It's a nature lover's paradise. The trails are so serene and picturesque, surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful flowers. And guess what? I was lucky enough to spot an adorable armadillo during my visit! ? It was such a unique and memorable experience. Whether you're into birdwatching, hiking, or just enjoying the tranquility of nature, the Houston Arboretum is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The parking in the lot here is very easy you can pay through the mobile app or at a pay station. You definitely don't want to miss it! ??

Nice place within the city to go for a short hike and explore several well curated ecosystems. Has around 5 miles of winding trails through 150+ acres with a prairie, woods, and wetlands. Did 2.5 miles in about an hr and a half, saw numerous butterflies and some squirrels. Lots of activities for children. Free entry, paid parking.

This is a beautiful place to visit while in the Downtown area! It is a well designed nature park with ample parking if you come early in the day. I did not visit the Nature Center on this trip, instead I came to simply walk the trails and soak in some sunlight. The trails are easy to access from the parking area and there are shorter trails and longer ones. I enjoy the views and the wildlife! A memorable part of Downtown Houston ?
