The Sylvan Beach

The Sylvan Beach offers a wide variety of activities for tourists and regulars. And that makes it incredibly popular, and rightfully so. It offers fishing and boating facilities. The year-round smaller waves and the lack of seaweeds make it perfect for a swim too.

There are also amusement parks, restaurants, and fantastic nightlife close by. In short, it has everything you might need to have a fun day in Houston. 

Hermann Park 

Founded in 1914 as a public park, Hermann Park is one of the best picnic places in Houston. So if you’re in Houston with your significant other, a lunchtime picnic here would be the best romantic date. 

The historical Third Ward is located near this Park, making it an exciting spot for history buffs. Spread over a vast area of 445-acres, this Park contains a plethora of establishments like a Zoo, Museums, Pools, Theaters, and even an entire 18-hole golf course. 

So put this place on your itinerary for a wholesome tour of the Park. 

Market Square Park

Also known as the “Center of Downtown’s Historic District,” this public Park has been a part of the city’s history since 1836. The 19th-century architecture still preserved in the Park’s areas adds vintage charm to the place. 

This Park is world-famous for its occasional free and open movie screening. So if you’re a movie buff, this place deserves a spot on your bucket list of things to do in Houston. 

Some Tips to Make Your Trip Easier

  • Spring or autumn are the best times to visit Houston. Summers can be pretty uncomfortable because of the sweltering temperatures. Plus, most events and festivals are scheduled for spring and autumn. 
  • Plan your budget. Houston is a big city, and your expenses can get out of control if you don’t have things planned before you go there. 
  • Using public transportation such as the metro is a great way to travel around the city. It’ll save you both money and time. 
  • To enjoy sightseeing to the fullest, you can even rent a bike and take a ride around some particularly gorgeous areas of the city. 

Start planning your post-pandemic vacation and decide for yourself if it really is a preppers paradise.
