16 Reasons To Love Spring In Houston
The Great Outdoors
- Beautiful weather is on its way. Houston is one of the best springtime cities in the United States.
- Drive toward Brenham for some of the lushest bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes in the country. It’s a perfect opportunity for a photo shoot — just watch out for snakes.
- Spring Break officially marks the beginning of beach season, so head over to Galveston and soak up the sun before it gets too hot.
- Take advantage of the lovely weather and stroll through one of our scenic parks, like Hermann Park or Discovery Green. Toss a frisbee around, or let the kids and pets run to their heart’s content.
- Try your hand at a no-pressure 5K. Houston’s annual Bubble Run happens on May 26. Bring the whole family — kids 4 and under race free.
- How does your garden grow? If you’re in Houston, the answer is breathtaking. Look into Bayou Bend, McGovern Centennial Gardens, and Mercer Botanic Gardens.
Fun and Entertainment
