Arma DilloMay 10, 2018The most beautiful park I’ve ever been. Ducks, birds, squirrels, lakes, lots of benches. Good playgrounds for toddlers & kids. Didn’t like the splash park -needs a new floor but it worked fine though!
ArtJonakSeptember 12, 2015Miller Theatre & hill, Japanese Garden, the reflection pond, the train & many local attractions within walking distance. Natural Science Museum, the Houston Zoo and a golf course all border the garden
Glenn SchmittJuly 23, 2018You must attend a TUTS production at the pavilion. Bring your lawn chair, blanket and cooler full of cold beverages along with whatever picnic food you like. Grab a place on the hill and have a party!
Jimena TerlakisOctober 13, 2019A nice discovery!, Rent a bike and get lost in it 😌 Or just simply walk as I did. Bring your own food and a book. Excellent plan to enjoy some fresh air 👌🏻
One of the largest public parks in Houston & home to the Museum District and Zoo.The serenity and peacefulness of the park is wonderful & visitors have the opportunity to jog, golf or paddle boat.
The DaytripperApril 17, 2014The central hub is Hermann Park which is basically Houston’s Central Park. Folks come out here to picnic, ride pedal boats, see the Japanese Gardens, go to the zoo, and roll down Miller Hill.
On a nice day walk the trails, take a paddle boat ride, or grab a blanket and a book and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Natalia CruzApril 9, 2015Beautiful park, it looks so European. The gardens are so green and the Japanese garden it's pretty cute. Take some food and just enjoy a good evening at the Hermann Park.
Samah AlsammahiApril 9, 2018One of the best parks in Houston. Very well maintained, lots of things to do. Could eat very crowded during the weekend.
HISTORYApril 13, 2010Opened in 1899, this is Houston's first park. As one of the first desegregated public golf courses in the US, the park is now one of Houston's most historically significant public green spaces.
Sean GregoryApril 15, 2013This is a great place to hangout when you're looking for a calm relaxing place. Also check out the zen garden, seeing the ducks and coyfish is amazing.
Randy ManserApril 9, 2015Big park you have to just start in a area. Exploring more as you go just have to do it. You will start having many adventures over time.
Paige norwoodApril 2, 2013Check out Miller Outdoor Theater. Sit on the hill for FREE and bring a picnic. Opera, symphony, movie nights, theater, Shakespeare in the Park, and more.
Tyeshia BarnesAugust 12, 2017Great location for photographers! Very versatile. Cute area hidden in the city.
Ivhan CoronelJuly 3, 2016The only problem with this place is the horrible heat but this place is amazing, you'll really enjoy every step walked.😎
One of the most beautiful parks in Houston. I'm coming every day to run. Safe and clean.
Melania SpagnoliApril 5, 2015Awesome park, perfect to spend a weekend with the family. It also has a big circle for running
Danielle NicoleJuly 19, 2016Sometimes there will be little snack vendors by the reflection pond closer to the zoo entrance- which is great on hot days when a bottled water or an ice cream is much needed!
Med Center couriers / delivery drivers, find the 3-hour parking at the Almeda side between Holcombe and McGregor. Nice chill spot for us hard workers!
Jr De La FuenteOctober 13, 2015The area is nice for walking, bicycling or having a picnic. Overall a really nice park. Would recommend.

Nice place to bring your out of town friends and great place to run.
Plays, museums, and the zoo. This could have been Houston's Central Park.

"The butterfly exhibit is great and I've always been a fan of the planetarium. Seeing Lois (the corpse flower) was anticlimactic, though I do enjoy my "Bring on the Funk" button."
