Great drive in movie place. We paid $7 for an adult ticket and got to see two brand new movies (Ghostbusters & The Shallows), great value. The only complaint I have is during the first movie (Ghostbusters) there was two-three blue lines that ran vertical on the screen, they weren't there during the second movie. The consession stand was good also.

The outdoor walkways make this shopping Mecca feel less like a mall and more like a market. Though it bills itself as a discount outlet center, the best deals are not always obvious. Plan to take your time and spend a day shopping, unless you have a particular item or store in mind. And, be patient in the parking lot!

4. Lone Pint Brewery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 22 reviews
Reviewed By Sboll - The Woodlands, Texas
They have two beers that are among my favorites; namely, Yellow Rose and 667 Neighbor of the Beast. Both are IPAs are both are really good. Going for a visit to sample a few beers one should keep in mind that there is limited seating so it is wise to bring folding chairs. Also, you may not be afforded shade so plan for that as well. For $10 one gets three tokens and a pint glass which is a good deal. This is a very basic, very small craft brewery. They had a really good food truck on-site. They also offered t-shirts and various merchadise for sale. Most of the staff were friendly. It isn't a clean place which didn't bother me but may bother some. Free parking nearby.

Known as the "park for all children."
Reviewed By michaelmH6254KE - houston, United States
This park has lots of features. Though it helps to be a Harris County resident to use many of them. Kids playground. Fishing pond. Koi pond. Miniature golf. 1 mile outside trail. Swimming pool with activities. Yoga and Zumba classes. Plenty of exercise machines. Ball fields. Locker rooms. Benches. Etc. My daughter and I would often feed the ducks and fish. Vultures seem to be a bit too tame.

A real working Texas ranch with more than 50 acres amusements and activities for the entire family. Perfect for a family day out, kids' birthday parties, reunions, or corporate events with lots to do and party pavilions for gatherings. We offer lots of activities for all ages including pony rides, putt putt golf, hayrides, train ride, swimming pool, petting zoo and farm activities like feeding and milking cows. Our ranch is very educational and popular with schools and homeschool parents for field trips. The ranch is home to popular seasonal events such as our Easter Bunny Visit & Egg Hunt, the Pumpkin Patch & Scarecrow Festival, and the Santa Ranch Express. Call the ranch for weather closures as well as seasonal closures which are generally mid-December through February and August through September.

Just attended a birthday party and it was not a very good experience. The animals were over heated, TONS of FLIES everywhere especially all over our food. It was disgusting. The staff was not very helpful with the party activities. We were all on our own. We had to serve the food that was just plopped on the table then we had to clean up too. It was very over priced for what was offered. Everyone stayed under the pavilion which was full of flies and no fans to distribute the air. No staff in sight!!!

Such an amazing place to go. As soon as you get to the plantation you will feel like you've traveled back in time. Gorgeous mansion with views all around of the beautiful country-side. They put together a very fun and memorable Civil War Re-enactment that is a must see in November. It is worth exiting HWY 290 to spend some time their with the whole family.

Old and young, this place will not disappoint! Well, it certainly won't disappoint those who enjoy fall festivities such as hay rides, corn mazes, and pumpkin patches. This place has it all! They have pony rides, farm animals, rides for young children, and plenty of food stands. I went with my parents, husband, sister and nephew. We all enjoyed visiting with the farm animals, taking pictures, running through the corn maze, eating, and watching my nephew get on rides. We especially loved going through the new pumpkin alley where it's dark all day and you can peruse the hundreds of pumpkins that have been intricately carved to display every kind of cartoon character imaginable along with historical figures (presidents) and famous actors and singers. This was an extra cost of $3 to the wrist band entrance fee.
The only downfall to this event is the long lines to get in. My husband bought tickets online and the line to get these tickets once at the location was about 15-20 minutes long. The other line for those who did not purchase tickets ahead of time was twice as long! So do yourself a favor and buy those tickets ahead of time!
Last, do t forget to take your camera! There are plenty of photo ops throughout this event! Have fun! :)

I have visited three times with family and friends. Niki is a very friendly and welcoming woman and helped members of our group who hadn't ridden previously and who felt apprehensive to feel confident and enjoy their trailride. It's a beautiful spot and extremely good value. Great for spending some quality time with family and friends.
