Visited for the first time to have a picnic lunch, ride bikes with my two daughters, and take a peek at their overnight facilities. Lots of picnic tables in various areas (best ones by Nature Center where there is a restroom/shower facility). We didn't plan to visit the Nature Center, but ended up going in because there happened to be an educational program on snakes going on. The Nature Center is small, but pretty comprehensive. We were very impressed. Also worth pointing out that there is another restroom inside the Nature Center and soda machines outside on the porch. After our picnic we took the Forest Trail for our bike ride, but fairly quickly diverted to the Peach Creek Trail. The Forest Trail can be narrow at times. The Peach Creek Trail (we only did the top half) is nice enough that my daughter had no problems on her cruiser bike. The trails are very scenic and my girls and I absolutely loved this adventure (our first outdoor nature bike trail ride). After our bike ride we cruised around the entire park in our SUV looking at shelters, A-frames, cabins, lodges and camp sites. A few thoughts if you are considering staying here... particularly with a group:
For the shelters, there is no parking by the shelter itself. You have to park in front of park headquarters. So, you either have to temporarily park to unload or walk back and forth to take your gear to the shelter. Also, the shelters are nestled in trees and there is no room around them to pitch a tent for extra sleeping quarters. Within the shelter area there is a clearing where you could pitch a tent, but doing so would encroach on other campers' areas. The shelters have a little deck in front where you can put some gear. The insides are empty. There is a picnic table, water faucet, fire circle, and grill. These do have electricity.
The cabins look amazing! They are located on one side of the lake accessible down a one-way road. The A-frames (only 2) are also located on the lake, but on the opposite side of the cabins.
All the lodges seem to be located within the same area, which is around the same area where the tent camping sites are located. Maybe you can camp with a camper or smaller RV, but the road that goes to the camping site area is a dead end so you cannot turnaround without major difficulty. There was a clean little playground located over where the lodges and camp sites are. As best that I could recall, the cottage is located in another area where the primitive camping sites are.
Overall this is a fabulous park for overnight stays and day uses. The trails are excellent for walking and bike riding. Groups staying overnight will want to stay in the same overnight type as if you choose, for an example, a shelter and an A-frame, you will be quite far from one another. Far enough that you will have to drive between areas.

This majestic theater houses the Houston Ballet and the Houston Grand Opera.
Reviewed By Gabriel H - Bellaire, Texas, United States
The Wortham Center is one of the great opera houses in North America. Housing the Brown and Cullen theaters, this majestic building was designed with state-of-the-art facilities for rehearsal and performance. It shares parking with the rest of Downtown's Civic Center and is surrounded by other theaters, restaurants and bars. The large esplanade in front of the Wortham serves as a great venue for outdoor celebrations when weather permits. Inside, seating is comfortable, the acoustics great, and there is plenty of room for on-site eating and enjoying a glass of wine or a cocktail. The Green Room offers a great venue to meet artists and Elegant Cafe provides reserved fine dining in front of the Founders' Boxes. This is a great venue for the Houston Grand Opera and the Houston Ballet, two of the best artistic companies in the country.

This library was recently rebuilt in it's new location and it is a very nice place to go and spend a few hours either by yourself or with kids. They have a good selection of all kinds of books and almost the entire first floor is the children's section. They also have a room upstairs for Teens with books and activity centers that are age appropriate. I like to check out selections from their large cook book section.

Our church group went into the Champagne Room and the Jail Break Room. The Champagne Room was very challenging, but we finished with about 10 minutes left. We had some verrrrry interesting experiences. Do not want to give any details about it, but it was a fun room! The Jail Break Room was a lot of fun too! That group escaped with a little more than 10 minutes left. We had 5 people in each room. Highly recommend this event!
