Amphitheater

Live music venue
Nestled among lush trees, The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is a stunning outdoor venue that hosts a variety of live performances including music, theater, and dance shows. It's renowned for presenting top-tier concerts and cultural events, ranking high in global amphitheater ratings. The pavilion also contributes to community cultural programs with its profits. With impressive seating capacity and access to diverse performances, it offers an enjoyable experience for visitors.
Really nice venue! Good food options inside that are reasonably priced, given that it’s a concert venue. Very pretty—trees and nice views. CLEAN! No trash, restrooms were nice. You have a chance at FREE PARKING! You may have to walk a bit and you may have to arrive early but the idea that it’s available is awesome! Even if you have covered seats, it’s gonna be hot. It is an outdoor venue, as the name implies. Be prepared. Bring an empty water bottle and fill it up on the premises. Wear really comfortable clothing. Lawn seating looked cool and we may do that next time. Only bad thing is if you want a chair you must rent it from the pavilion. Blankets can be spread though. Arrive early, get free parking, have dinner, enjoy the show! I’m looking forward to going again

I’ve been to this venue twice now and both times were fantastic! Great venue! Great seats! Great pricing! Loud! Good food! Good drinks! Easy to get to! Good parking! No complaints! One time I forgot about the purse regulation, it has to be clear and small but that was still fine. We went to the “Summer of Loud” concert- need I say more- I definitely needed hearing protection but they gave me some for free!!! 10/10! Highly recommend!

Went here to see Tunechi. His performance was awesome. So three stars for the pavilion experience itself. So yes, we're aware that the pavilion is outdoor/ open air, but apparently whatever tent or covering they use up above traps heat immensely. My friend also couldn't get a phone signal under it though my phone worked well. She has At&T I have Google Fi. I guess it doesn't help for the heat that you have thousands of people in the seating area. It seems I remember there were fans but not sure if they were on. My biggest issue was with one of the vendors there. They were doing margaritas and daiquiris but seems they only had options with dairy. So the one option they told us didn't have dairy, we purchased did taste like it had a little dairy but we dismissed that. But a few hours later our stomachs verified that, yes there was dairy. So better options for mixed drinks need to be provided. Outside of that you only have beer. One other issue was and I don't know if this is on the pavilion or the city; With with such a grand presence as Lil Wayne, there was no traffic assistance there. Nobody directing traffic for parking. Everything was backed up. No police out doing anything. Terrible. So if you're thinking of going here for any events or any busy weekend for the strip that's near, go super early as possible before the event begins. After this experience I realized depending on who I'm going there for, that the best option is to get a room at the hotel at the Marriott. Because even in the parking garage it took us about 30 to 40 minutes to get out of it due to the number of people trying to leave.

We saw Judas Priest and Alice Cooper a few weeks ago. I loved the outdoor concert. The weather was perfect although I can’t imagine what it’s like during peak summer. Biggest complaint?! All of the outdoor smoking. There needs to be a smoking sections as it’s disgusting breathing in smoke from others. It’s very rude in my opinion. Had to keep moving to get away. If you want smoke/vape that’s fine. At least have the common courtesy to smoke in a way it doesn’t affect non smokers. Mid 5/10 cigarettes 🚬

We arrived early and parked on the Timberloch lot. Great experience with the whole venue. We also received a free upgrade from our lawn seats to reserved seating, putting us much closer to the stage than we planned. The staff here is always helpful, and i look forward to future events here.

Great Venue overall. I wish the covered area had cup holders to prevent spills as the rows are small and on an incline. I would also love to see more variety in their food options. If you are new to this venue, prepare to walk, it's a long way from the parking to the venue.

Nature preserve
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
George Mitchell Preserve is a vast, wooded nature reserve that offers visitors a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking and biking along its well-maintained trails. The park features picturesque views of a lake and has an abundance of plant life that is clearly labeled for educational purposes. Although the park can get crowded at times, it remains popular among hikers and mountain bikers alike.
This is part of a nature conservancy. They have many miles of trails and access to popular swimming spots on the Creek. There is an app-- travelstorys that will narrate points of interest along some of the trails. The far Eastern portion of the Spring creek trail wasn't maintained the closer I got to I-45. It turned into a bushwack so I didn't gonall the way to I-45. Going West is all cleared and maintained trails for tens of miles if you are feeling up to it.

Love the trails here. Been going here for about a year now pretty consistently and it’s close to my house and pretty convenient. The trails are nice and typically pretty well kept up with. Weekdays aren’t too busy during the day but the weekends gets pretty crowded there sometimes. Still a great walking/hiking trail though.

Woodlands city so horrible . Why in the world construction going already 3 months? Lack of planning. Entrance to the park also developed a curb now. So it is difficult to enter without damaging low clearance car

Great trails are very nature focused and not just super wide man-made paths. It's fun and adventurous, but make sure to bring plenty of bug spray

We went during the week, and walked one loop. It is well marked and there are some plant markers. You are sharing the trail with bikes. The trail is soft sand and has many roots. It is beautiful in as natural setting as possible. There were no facilities where we were.

3Market St

Mentioned on 
10 lists 
Market Street is a vibrant destination that offers an array of dining experiences. One standout spot is Sixty Vines, a new wine bar that's making waves with its delightful offerings, though brunch remains untested by some visitors. For those seeking a satisfying brunch experience, Bosscat at Market Street comes highly recommended for its delicious menu. While Cru was once a popular choice in the area, it seems to have faded from recent visits.

Park
Riva Row Boat House, located at 2101 Riva Row in The Woodlands, TX, offers a variety of watercraft for exploring the scenic Woodlands Waterway and Lake Woodlands. Whether you're interested in a leisurely paddle or a more athletic adventure, you can rent kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, swan boats, or water bikes. The picturesque views from the water are truly spectacular no matter which option you choose.
I drove almost an hour to find out a reservation was required (oops!). It was really busy so my dog and I got incredibly lucky to snag the last available tandem kayak that day. Staff were quick and friendly. Definitely planning on coming back in the future!
Erika A — Google review
I’ve been to Riva Row 2 times now and every time it’s been an amazing experience. My bf and I got the 1 hour rental and it was just enough time to reach the fountain and come back, so if you would like to take it a bit more relaxed or explore further I would definitely recommend the 2 hr rentals. Worth it!!
Kate A — Google review
Fun, relaxing, and family-friendly! We had a great time on the swan pedal boats — such a fun and inexpensive activity for families or even a sweet date. The views were peaceful, and we even spotted a few turtles, which was a fun surprise! The staff was friendly, and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something laid-back and memorable.

I was able to walk up and ask the procedure for renting a kayak and was greeted warmly. They explained the sign up process and got me out on the water quickly. If I'm ever in Houston again, I'll stop by.
Janine M — Google review
Many watercraft choices to select from and great amenities. Perfect for all families. Unfortunately, staff wasn't helpful or friendly. There is no guide or assistance. At least a simple explanation would be great instead of keys being handed. The life jackets are spotted and smelly. Parking was fine, and seeing wildlife is always enjoyable. Not crowded for being a holiday weekend.
Rock I — Google review
The sawn boat was slow. Every time we paddle, water rushed into our seat through the little holes. By the time we done, our clothes were all soaking wet. It was so sunny and tiring, I wished the swan boat would have some shade. I dont want to come back if the problems are not fixed.
Tuyet N — Google review
Smooth and easy. I made a reservation online, walked up, handed them my id, and they had a kayak waiting. They were ready to help me back out when I came back as well. Everyone was really friendly and it was a nice day on the lake.
Susan M — Google review
We went as a large group (9 people) in early August. The rental process was easy, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The waterway was calm and easy to paddle. The waterway is surrounded by houses and apartment complexes. It's a great paddle for beginners. If you're looking for something more natural and scenic, this is not the paddle for you. Overall, it was a great experience.

Shopping mall
Shopping
The Woodlands Mall in Houston is a top shopping destination, offering a family-friendly environment with various activities for kids. The mall hosts year-round events and features a soft play area and carousel with animal figures. Kids can enjoy creating their own stuffed animals at Build-a-Bear Workshop, playing with Legos at the Lego Store, or visiting the Pet Fair. Parents can shop from popular brands like Urban Outfitters, Hollister, and Anthropologie.
The mall is beautifully designed and super clean, with natural lighting and elegant architecture that makes shopping feel like an experience. There’s also a great variety of restaurants and cafés, whether you want a quick snack or a sit-down meal. A ride on the 1st floor is a plus point

Omg this is super nice in the inside but the outside is horrible. I really enjoyed coming to shop today. All the store selections are awesome!!! Enjoyed walking around for 3hrs straight and finding a lot of great selections in shoes and clothes. The clearance in most stores are really nice. The parking is horrible and the people park awful. Not to mention the handicap is for handicap not for your Tesla. It be nice if they monitor the parking area. As. Wheel chair user the parking for handicap is horrible, trash everywhere and well cars that are not suppose to be park there are. Enjoyed a nice clean mall.

I am going to make this review and simply speak to those who have never been to The Woodlands Mall - in order to get my point full across. I’ll preface this review by stressing the fact that Houston has a tremendous amount of excellent “malls” - that’s just a fact. But as far as the north side of town goes - there’s nothing better than The Woodlands Mall, hands down. Bar none. Whether it’s the multi levels of stores offering every single store the average person desires to see in one building, or the vast amount of great, specialty eateries offered in one piece of real estate, or the indoor carousel, the great food court - countless great, niche, one of a kind booths set up throughout the mall - you just gotta visit to experience it. There’s outdoor shopping, beautiful breezeways for enjoying time together - tons of things to do, see and plenty of places to spend your money. 😉😂
Lindsay M — Google review
Inoperable elevators and escalators with no signs pointing to alternatives for handicapped patrons is lazy, irresponsible and shameful. One would think that the rent prices these high-end stores pay that management and mall employees would share some decency or respect for The Woodlands most vulnerable community members
Michael T — Google review
The Woodlands Mall is a truly beautiful shopping destination. Once you step inside, the atmosphere is modern, clean, and spacious, with a fantastic selection of stores that cater to just about every need. It's a pleasure to walk around and browse the variety of shops and dining options. The interior is consistently well-maintained and provides an excellent experience. My only reason for not giving it a perfect five stars is the condition of the parking lots, which are a bit dated and could use a significant refresh. Despite that, it's still a top-tier mall and well worth the visit.

The Woodlands Children's Museum is a delightful destination designed for young children to engage in interactive exhibits and imaginative play. The museum offers a variety of activities catering to toddlers and kids who are learning to read, including soft play areas, pretend playhouses, performance stages, water play areas, art bars, and more.
We love this place!! I have a daughter who is physically disabled (not extreme but very low tone, needs assistance for a lot of things) and we prefer this one over Houston due to the smaller size and better accessibility! My son will be 16 in a few weeks and I always took him here as a toddler, too. I tell everyone about this place. We went last week for fairy day and my daughter was in awe of Tinkerbell! Pro tip: there is no food but they do have covered picnic tables outside by the front door. Bring a lunch and eat outside so you don’t have to miss any play time! 🥰

I disliked this experience today. Ellen was not very compassionate. I wanted to enjoy my experience but the initial impression was that they do not care about the families who may not be able to afford the cost. My kids noted that the staff was not very friendly and there were not a lot of interactions with the staff. One lady just walked around and never spoke or said hi or anything. They could smile more and be more friendly upbeat in a kid friendly environment.

Will not be returning. Pretty rude staff. They were annoyed we did not buy tickets ahead of time. Told us next time we needed to. Then… They were annoyed we paid with cash. Then told us to come in next time early because they’ll be closing in two and a half hours and there is no refunds if we did not get to everything. Then… Told my oldest he wouldn’t enjoy because he was too old. Even though his age level is on what is recommended…developmentally the activities that are set up are prefect for him. He felt like he was allowed to play with after that comment. Asked to leave because this place was for babies. As he was playing on the fire truck and kitchen staff told him to let the little ones play and move out of the way. He is tall for his age so many assume he’s older. Even though he played with SEVERAL kids older than him, but shorter. He was not rambunctious & played with the young toddlers that approached him. (Even pretended and let the little ones tell him how to “cook” or play in whatever way they requested.) I asked about the classes that they offer there. Very cold in response and told me my oldest could attend. I let them know I was inquiring for my youngest. They asked were we were form whenever I said it - they said it would be a far drive for us to make. Then walked away. Very few things I can take my toddler and oldest to enjoy together. This location is a great option for us but we will not be returning. Over priced for the areas set up. It cost to return is play school and activities set up for short entertainment. Would consider going to special events to make it worth while… However, staff were negative, annoyed, and not enjoying themselves at a CHILDREN PLACE. What is more fun than that? We did every section and enjoyed it with in one hour and forty five minutes. We had time to spare!

Went in for the rhyme circle time for toddlers and it was so sweet! My daughter really enjoyed it, she is 17 months. After story time we walked around the museum and she played in many of the different stations set up throughout. All in all it was lots of fun, clean and a friendly environment. We will be back!

It was our first time at this Museum and overall it was a good experience. Some of the negatives were that it was very crowded shortly after opening during the weekend. It was also much, much smaller and warmer in the building than we expected. Lastly, the layout and design of some of the structures makes it very difficult to keep an eye on your child. However, the inside was clean and decorated wonderfully. We are just happy places like this exist.
Rach W — Google review
Inexpensive, and tidy place to spend a couple hours with kids age 2-5. Lots of fun activities for kids that stimulate the imagination like a truck, grocery store, fire station, cooking and cleaning chores, magnet & light wall, giant blocks and trains. Downsides: the sand exhibit uses rice instead of sand and there's barely any to speak of. Also the water exhibit is boring, everything floats, you can't block the flow of water, it's simply not stimulating. Not ready to revisit just yet.

Park
The Woodlands Waterway, located just north of Houston, offers a romantic waterfront setting for activities like scenic boat rides and dining at waterfront restaurants. During Christmas time, the area is adorned with glistening lights creating a warm and magical ambiance. It's a popular spot for leisurely strolls, with opportunities to see ducks, turtles, and even deer along the way. Visitors can also rent kayaks or other water vehicles to explore the waterway.
I’ve lived in and around The Woodlands for nearly 20 years, and I can honestly say—there’s no other place on earth I’d rather be. It’s more than just a beautiful area; it’s a lifestyle, a sanctuary, a little slice of heaven tucked into the heart of Texas. The Waterway, in particular, is the crown jewel of this community. It’s where modern life and nature stroll hand-in-hand. Early morning walks feel like moving through a peaceful painting, while evening runs are met with the soft glow of string lights and the sound of water gently flowing by. Whether you're seeking solitude, romance, or a spot to make memories with friends and family, the Waterway never disappoints. Looking for fine dining? There’s no shortage of restaurants that impress with every bite. Planning a staycation or need a mini escape? The luxury hotels along the Waterway offer resort-style getaways without ever leaving town. And if you're just in the mood to sit, sip a coffee, and watch the world go by—this is the perfect backdrop. It has everything. Beauty. Peace. Excitement. Community. After two decades, I’m still discovering new reasons to love it. The Woodlands Waterway isn’t just a destination—it’s part of who I am.

Nice area to take a stroll. Lots of people walking, jogging, exercising, etc. It was pretty warm, not a whole ton of shade but there were some areas you could stop to get away from the sun. If I lived in the area I'd probably take a stroll there often. The koi garden was a nice stop. great view from the apartments looking into the garden.

Woodlands Waterways is a man made canal system in a ring like structure that runs about 2.5 kilometers from the Woodlands Mall area. This is such a beautiful and safe walk with lush green plants and grass on one side, and the beautiful river like body on the other. At sunset it gives an amazing view and by night it’s beautifully lit by lights. Place to be enjoyed by all age groups!

The See You At The Top Fleet made a stop at The Woodlands Waterway, and it’s easy to see why this spot has become a favorite in the Greater Houston area. The mix of nature, art, dining, and trails all flowing together makes it a place where people can connect, recharge, and enjoy the best of what the city offers. From evening walks to festivals along the water, The Woodlands Waterway shows how thoughtful spaces can bring a community together while still keeping it modern and vibrant. SEE YOU AT THE TOP 🚀

Lovely place to visit with family, friends or as a couple. It is ideal for having a relaxed time, enjoy a walk with amazing views. If you feel like it you can rent a Kayak or other water vehicles to travel along the waterway. While walking you may find ducks, turtles and if you are lucky a beautiful deer.

We reserved Texas TreeVentures on a Wednesday afternoon for our group, and the entire experience was fantastic. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly attentive, helpful, and accommodating. They made sure everyone felt safe and confident before getting on the course and stayed engaged throughout our time there. The park itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers a perfect balance of challenge and fun. It was a great way for our group to connect, have fun, and try something out of the ordinary. Highly recommend for team outings, group events, or anyone looking to climb, swing, and laugh together. We’ll definitely be back!

Texas TreeVentures was definitely out of my comfort zone! 🌳 I faced my fears by simply participating! TT was an exhilarating aerial adventure course. The park features a rich natural backdrop, including Spring Creek, diverse wildlife, and extensive wooded trails. 🪵 You will for sure have an immersive outdoor experience where you can enjoy the thrill of high-flying activities amid the beauty of nature. 🌲 I appreciated the non-linear “challenge-by-choice” setup allowing me as a participant to select obstacles that matched my comfort and skill level, providing a personalized adventure. All staff were friendly and professional, ensuring my upmost safety at all times ⛑️!

The Woodlands Waterway is a picturesque and popular destination that offers a serene escape from the urban environment. It winds through Town Center, connecting various attractions and providing a touch of nature amidst the cityscape. The annual Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival, held along its scenic banks, showcases an outdoor art gallery, culinary delights, children's activities, and more.
My favourite place in Spring, Texas. Beautiful, serene, peaceful, and a relaxing place. The walk along the waterway is soothing. So glad to have a place like this. Wishes and blessings to one and all who created this place and who strive hard to keep this place as beautiful as it is.

November 14, 2024. It's a very nice area where I come here jogging or walking. I am a woman, peaceful minding my own business, and yes. I dress conservative, yet the construction/maintenance workers are constantly harrasing me. These are just some of the examples. Some are following me around in those moving carts, or lawn carts and I am using my phone to listen to my music while jogging/walking yet I am alert of these individuals. It's very sad that i come here to this beautiful area to work out and distress yet I constantly have to be alert in survival mode because they scare me how they act. They are so primitive. Yelling and making noises at me like they never seen a woman working out before. It's very uncomfortable feeling harrased and followed by these disgusting individuals.

This park is so beautiful. The lake, the waterfalls, the beautiful restaurants, the free bus ride for your convenience to take you around the park if you don’t want to walk, the statues of historical events that reminds or educate, it gives a feel of a museum but with a twist cause it's outdoor. It’s a good place to spend time with your loved ones because of the relaxing and calm environment and it’s also a good photoshoot spot. Overall I had an amazing experience👌🏾

The Woodlands Ice Rink is a popular holiday attraction located next to The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. Visitors can enjoy ice skating and take advantage of the free parking available in the nearby parking garage. While some have noted that the rink can get crowded, especially during certain times, others have praised the friendly atmosphere and good quality of the ice. Additionally, there is a smaller rink for children who are learning to skate, providing a family-friendly environment.
Great ice rink that is suitable for all ages. Friendly staff. They have skates you can rent in all different sizes. They also have walkers for the kids you can rent.

I had an amazing experience at The Woodlands Ice Rink! From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had everything they needed. The rink itself was well-maintained, with smooth ice and plenty of space for skating. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced skater, there are spots for everyone to enjoy. The atmosphere was so fun, with great music playing and a lively crowd, but it never felt overcrowded. They also have a nice concessions area for a warm drink after skating. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for family fun, date nights, or just a fun outing with friends. Highly recommend!

I have skated here for forever and I have always had an amazing experience! The staff are nice—especially the manager, she is really sweet. They make it easy to exchange your skates if they do not fit. They've even added benches near the rink itself to put on skates easier! Will come again🤩

Wonderful staff - especially Dan! The ice rink is very small and feels over-capacity. Every time you or your child falls, you run the risk of being trampled. Perhaps tickets should be limited for each timed session to avoid overcrowding during the holidays. It would make all the difference.

I brought my 3 year old granddaughter for her first time skate. She really enjoyed it! The staff were awesome and very friendly and the ice was super good! I was a skater a long time ago, and went on the ice as well. We had a good time and went back for a group lesson, which I recommend also! Next step is to schedule some private lessons. I think The Woodlands Ice rink offers an excellent start for young and old beginners, and the price is very reasonable.
Bette M — Google review
We've been going a few times each season for several years, and always enjoyed it. This time, the rink was extremely crowded when we were there - to the point of being stressful vs enjoyable. This is also the first year I've experienced large groups of young teen standing in clumps out on the ice blocking the flow of skaters. The rink refs need to teach/encourage/enforce basic rink etiquette (be aware of your surrounding skaters, look before you come onto the ice, don't just stand around on the ice...). Would love to see them implement a couple of things: 1) a cap on the height of people using the "trainers" - it doesn't help you learn, if you're bent over it 2) lanes - outer ring for beginner/novice that might want to grab the rail, a middle lane for intermediate skaters unlikely to fall and confident to navigate around each other, a center area for experienced skaters

This place is great for paddle boarding or kayaking. It’s a decent size lake and don’t have to worry about boats really. Though water isn’t great for swimming it’s still fun. There’s also a park for the kids and a volleyball court with sand. There’s plenty of docks as well and plenty space for fishing.

This park has never disappointed. During our most recent visit, where the photo was taken, we were able to easily find a bench to sit at and there was a very nice breeze that relieved the texas heat. The ducks were either full or tired because they weren’t interested in food, but every other time they have been so thats fine.

My family and I absolutely love North Shore Park! It's our go-to spot for a fantastic day out, with something for everyone to enjoy. I'm an avid paddleboarder, and the lake here is perfect for it. The water is calm and the scenery is beautiful, making for a relaxing and enjoyable time on the water. While I'm out on the lake, my kids have a blast at the playground. It's well-maintained and has a great variety of equipment to keep them entertained for hours. We also love that the park offers so much more. The beach volleyball courts are a huge plus, and we often get a friendly game going. And the Concert in the Park series on Sundays is a highlight of our weekends. It's such a great atmosphere to relax, listen to some live music, and just enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The park is always clean, and the facilities are well-maintained. Whether you're a water sports enthusiast, a family with young kids, or just looking for a beautiful place to unwind, North Shore Park has it all. Highly recommend!

This is such a beautiful park, and anytime I visit, I wish we would come here more often. My only complaint would be that it gets very busy and crowded, but I've only come on the weekend, so maybe it's less crowded on the weekdays? I'm not sure. There's usually a nice breeze because its right off the water and they have ample parking and picnic tables. The playground is a good size and lots of fun.

Northshore Park in The Woodlands, TX is a fantastic and very safe place for gatherings! You can play games, have a barbecue, or join a volleyball match with friends. The atmosphere is lively, and the live music in the evenings makes it extra special. The only downside is that some water fountains don’t work, and the restrooms aren’t always clean or fully functional (no water in the second tap for washing hands). Still, it’s a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors! 5 ✨!!!

Great breakfast but spectacular service! Food came out at a good time, looked delicious, was delicious, and the restaurant is cute and cozy. What really gives this place 5 stars though is the service. Everyone is welcoming and after getting my pancakes I said I wanted some syrup under my breath and the bus girl heard and did not hesitate to bring me a side syrup.

The sound room is amazing, the speakeasy setup is very fun and unique. The server was very rushed and short with words. It took 45 minutes to get our food, it came out and was ok. For the price I felt it wasn’t that great. It took about 10 minutes to get a refill once I asked. My wife ordered a drink and it took 20 minutes to get it at the table. Keep in mind there were only about 30 people total in the restaurant. The atmosphere was great. The music was live and the artist Sammie Rae and she was amazing. That was the only bright spot of our evening. After cover and food and drink we spent 200$ for 3 of us. We probably won’t be back.
Jeffrey H — Google review
I found the venue to be quaint with good sound quality. However, the customer service was terrible. I arrived 30 minutes before the show started to meet with friends. When I walked through the door, the gal who "greeted" me was anything but welcoming. I felt like my presence was an inconvenience to her. I smiled at her and explained it was my first time there - I tried to be friendly - but her attitude stayed the same. Like my being there was inconvenient to her. I didn't have a ticket for the show that night, but the website said I could buy tickets at the door. When I asked the "greeter" about buying a ticket, a man standing next to her said that I could purchase a ticket from him. ...and he was less friendly than the "greeter". I bought my ticket for the show and, with my credit card still in my hand, I asked the bartender what beer they have on tap. The man I bought the ticket from abruptly stated that I could not buy a drink from the bar; and that I had to be served from a table. I smiled and explained (again) that it was my first time there. I find my friends at a table near the stage - they were eating dinner. Our server came over pretty quickly and she was so nice with great big smile and took my order. ...but then it took 20 minutes for my drink to get to me. She was sweet and apologized several times but it was just one beer - my friends had their tea and water refilled a couple of times during the wait. I am not a picky person. I've been a server, and worked in a few restaurants so I know dealing with the public can be difficult. ...but I walked in with a smile on my face, in a great mood because I was early to the show, no stress because I found the venue with plenty of time, and about to listen to live music with some great friends. I don't get it - if you don't like being a greeter or working with the public then go do something else. I didn't let the terrible service ruin my vibe. The show was great.

Ambiance: Western, country themed cafe + restaurant with a whiskey bar, music stage, and multiple areas of seating. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just drinks & apps! They have live music nights & a fairly expansive menu - mostly bbq based! I was pleasantly surprised by the empanadas - totally recommend the gravy sausage empanadas! Friendly service & quick to bring out our order. They have a weekly lunch special as well as happy hour deals. Parking onsite, clean interior. I will definitely go back!

I love the antique decorations on the walls. It brings back fond memories from my youth. The restaurant is extremely well kept which is always a good sign. They have daily specials with a few all-you-can-eat days. I tried the all-you-can-eat brisket Monday and was pleasantly surprised. The cuts of meats varied from moist to lean but they were all tasty. Two sides are also included with premium sides having an additional charge. Drinks are separate. You get two slices of brisket with each request and refills of your sides as well. The BBQ sauce is thick and flavorful. It comes separate in a syrup jar, so you can smother your meats or dip it in a sauce cup. Definitely worth a try.

We had a great ‘breakfast for lunch’ lunch here (be sure to try the brisket hash). As soon as you walk in, it feels comfortable and inviting. Our server was Laurie and she made us feel like old friends immediately. As I was taking some pictures she said ‘you have to see this’ and opened up a wine rack to show us the speakeasy in the back. They also have live music in the evenings. We will be back for sure.

We love going here for breakfast. I had the bagel sandwich with sausage which was surprisingly good. My wife had the breakfast burrito all the way which wasn't as good but tasty in its own right. We also bad shrimp and grits which dissapointingly only had 2 small shrimp. Our waitress was great and the ambiance exudes texas!

Spring Creek Nature Trail is a 13-mile path that links Harris and Montgomery Counties, offering a serene cycling or hiking experience through the lush foliage along Spring Creek. Nestled in the urban landscape, Mitchell Natural Reserve provides an incredible natural ecosystem with diverse wildlife and lush greenery, creating a peaceful environment for nature enthusiasts. The well-maintained trails offer good tree cover and lead to beautiful ponds where visitors can observe wildlife such as alligators.
Great trails. Parking was good and seems safe as there were a decent number of people coming and going. The trails are in good condition and very nicely shaded. The opening portion is a grassy area for about a mile between the lakes before you get to the good stuff. All most all of the trail is single track with just a handful of challenging spots if you don’t have a true mountain bike, but overall very manageable even on our fat tire bikes. There are a few specific where the direction can be confusing but we found if you follow the blue markers on the trees and ask folks you will be good. Apparently there was a bridge over the spring creek ravine past Rob Fleming park but it was gone so you need to dismount and cross. We really enjoyed the trail end to end.

Update: I'm not sure when it happened, but a bird blind was added to the trail and while I'll not a birder, it's a really cool addition (see photos for details) in a really cool spot on the trail! To get to the blind, get on the trail opposite of the main trail off the parking lot (the side of the lot where you have to hop over the wire fence and hike for about a mile. You can't miss it! This place rocks! We came out here for a walk over the long weekend and then my wife and I came out early this morning for a little pre-work hike. I'm not sure how many miles of trails there are, but looking at the posted signs, you could probably get at least 10 miles in. It's a beautiful, serene place with tons of nature and wildlife. And if you're a birder, this is the place for you! You can also ride your bike out here, which I might do one of these weekends so I can see just how long of a trail system it is. After your hike, jump in your car and hop on over to Lovebean or Levure for a coffee and breakfast!

North Shore Park is on it. There are paddle boats to rent and places to park. It is handicap accessible. There are lots of restaurants on Restaurant Row by Whole Foods. It's a pleasant place to visit and you don't need a boat to enjoy it. There is no walkway that goes all the way around it. Just shorter walkways on each side.

It had an amazing time at this lake. I went for a two hours boat ride and it was worth the $60. They have bikes you can ride on the water but somehow I am unable to post them here. The bikes can be a little difficult to ride if your not used to riding bikes but once you figure it out, it’s much fun. There’s no area to change so come fully changed. 1 hour ride is $30 two hours $60 and if you go over that, it’s additional $5 dollar per hour. Once you take the boat, go to your left and go until the end. It takes 45 minutes to reach there weather your on kayak or the bike. It’s such a beautiful scenery very beautiful houses and the views is phenomenal. There’s also bunch of good restaurants around here and I think there’s also some public swimming pools within the area. Employees are nice BUT ONE THING I NOTICED! THEY ARE NOT TOO CONCERNED WITH PATRONS ONCE YOU TAKE THE BOAT. Your on your own they don’t give you any safety instructions incase of an emergency situation. There’s no good back support which is not cool at all.

This is such a nice and fun experience to try. If going during the day then Paddle boards or Swan boats may be best. Great workout. I suggest doing the bikes in the evening when the sun goes down. The company definitely needs to clean their bikes, we had spiders crawling over us and I had a spider bite. Spraying the bikes down would be a good idea.

If you're looking for something fun to do that's off the beaten path, this is the place! Super easy to suit up, grab a kayak and head out on the water. Staff has always been very friendly and assists you with anything you need, especially when you're new to kayaking (recommend going paired first time out). If you're looking to save time, call ahead and reserve, this has helped me in the past so I don't end up being put on a wait list. Also, fill out their waiver online.

It was my Mimi’s 100th birthday and we rode the trolley to and from dinner. He made sure everyone who got on sang happy birthday to her! He even had folks outside at a stop sing to her! And it’s FREE! Park your car and do yourself a favor and hop on a trolley!

We were waiting for the trolley to Hughes Landing, when the trolley in the opposite direction pulled up, empty. The driver asked us to board, she would take us there, since the next trolley would only arrive in half an hour. Great service. Everybody wore their masks. Did I mention this is a free service?

Lost a cell phone on the trolley Saturday night. Sunday morning went to the trolley's parked at the Library before 11 am and a drivers confirmed, a phone had been turned in by a trolley driver the night before. He went above and beyond the call of duty and helped me retrieve the phone. Hat's off to the Trolley Drivers! Thanks your doing a wonderful job!

The Pavilion is a vibrant hub that plays a crucial role in the community of The Woodlands. Without it, along with Market Street, the Waterway, and the Mall, this area would lack its lively atmosphere and diverse offerings. The Pavilion serves as a cornerstone for entertainment and social gatherings, enhancing the overall experience for both residents and visitors alike. Its presence contributes significantly to making The Woodlands an attractive destination filled with life and activity.

Specialty Museums
Tomball Museum Center is a collection of 1800s houses and public buildings showcasing town artifacts and vintage machinery. Visitors are required to take a guided tour, so it's recommended to arrive well before closing time. The Candlelight Tour during Christmas offers a delightful experience with historic houses decorated for the season. The museum features 11 separate buildings including homes, a church, schoolhouse, and barn filled with historical treasures.
This is an amazing museum. I can't believe I didn't know about it earlier. I didn't have time to see it all. I will definitely return with my family.
Kate F — Google review
Every year, the museum has a wreath laying ceremony the Thursday before Memorial Day Weekend. A local boy scout troop presented the flags and led the pledge of allegiance. Local veterans, Tomball's mayor, the local VFW leadership, and the public attend, some say a few words to the crowd. The ceremony remembers the 9 Tomball High School students who lost their lives in WWII, but all veterans are honored. There was a missing man table, and a veteran read a powerful explanation of the symbolic items on the table. The ceremony was somewhat casual but still full of dignity and respect. It's less than an hour long, and many of us brought our own chairs so we could take it in and not stand in the heat. This Tomball tradition shares some local history and reminds us what Memorial Day is really about. For history buffs, the museum hosts other interesting events throughout the year. I've been to an afternoon tea and a few other things. The museum offers a membership, and the volunteers that keep it up and put on the events are passionate about their local history outreach. I thought I heard theyre available for events and weddings. The grounds are beautiful.

Amazing place! Remember to check their hours on their website. You are not able to browse on your own, you have to do a tour, so make sure to get there at least an hour and a half before they close so you can catch the tour! My niece and I got there at 4:30 on a Saturday and they squeezed us into the tour, and the tour guide was so sweet and amazing! The cost is about $13 per person I believe. Awesome experience, thank you for showing us around!!

We had the most incredible experience at Play Street Museum for our son’s birthday party, and it was all thanks to Taylor! From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond helping us decorate and making sure everything ran smoothly. She was organized, energetic, and very helpful throughout the whole party! We also love that there are so many great activities for the kids and parents don’t have to stress about their kids getting hurt and it is a safe environment. Our son had an unforgettable time, and several parents even commented on how impressed they were with the experience. Thank you, Taylor, for making our son’s special day truly magical. You’re a rockstar, and the museum is lucky to have you!

The Rob Fleming Aquatic Center is a summer destination for families seeking fun and relaxation. This neighborhood swimming pool offers interactive features for kids, lap lanes, a lazy river and a water slide. A season pass can be purchased at a lower admission price for children. However, the lack of large umbrella shades can pose an issue when people reserve chairs with towels but spend most of their time in the water, leaving unoccupied seats in the shade.
Great place to visit with the family. My son loved it. There’s a lazy river, big slide, kids area, plenty of lounge chairs and a nice view to the lake. Refreshments available for sale at the front

This is our favorite water park in the Woodlands! It’s always clean and they have triple the amount of lifeguards than any other waterpark. For parents with younger kids, they have the best splash pad and not too far from the chairs where you can watch them closely. This waterpark is also great for kids who are starting to learn how to swim as the lazy river and main pool are only 3 feet so they’re still able to stand if they’re tall enough. Try to get there early as the shaded chairs are always full.

The Easter service at Woodlands Church was fantastic! The grandchildren had a great time participating in the service and joining the Easter Egg Hunt. One of the granddaughters even delighted us by singing "Yes, Jesus Loves Me" on her own in the car afterwards. It brought so much happiness to my heart! As someone who has been attending this church for a year now, I can attest that it is very inclusive and accepting, allowing people to come as they are.
This place makes you feel like home. People are all so nice, the kids daycare during service and play area is super fun. They do such a great job in teaching the kids about Jesus love. If your looking for a church home, visit woodlands church and you will fit right in! They have a 9:30 and 11:30 AM service which gives lots of time to get there with some sleep added in! They have a coffee shop just incase you need that fix before you go into church. Also plenty of space to find your spot for service

This is a fun and free thing to do with your kids on a day when being outside is not an option. There's plenty of options for both little and big kids. A cafe, tables, chairs, and resting areas for adults as well. The only thing I didn't love about it is how hard it is to keep track of your kids if you are on one level and they go up or down stairs, then you have to get up and follow them to know where they are. For older kids I'm sure it's okay but with younger kids it's kind of overwhelming

Woodlands Church has truly been a blessing to our family during our vacation. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and spiritually uplifted. The worship team is absolutely amazing, full of passion, talent, and authenticity. I genuinely felt the presence of God during the service. Our children have loved every minute in the WC/KIDS area. It’s vibrant, fun, and incredibly well-organized, a safe space where they can learn, play, and grow in their faith. This church is more than a place of worship, it’s a community that radiates love, excellence, and purpose. We’re so grateful to have found it during our time here. Highly recommended!

Visited this church for the first time yesterday and I can't say anything bad about my experience. The campus is beautiful, greeters were so welcoming, especially Chuck and Shelly. The worship team was also inside speaking and welcoming people as they came in. Mark sat by me the whole service and it was just such an amazing feeling of being accepted like family. The worship was phenomenal and the word was so spot on. I'm usually in this area one weekend out of the month and I will definitely be visiting here every time!

Capstone Park is a nice park to visit if you would like to have a walk in an open field. There are no walking paths, just a sidewalk along the edge of the park. The park is surrounded by houses on two sides. There is a tennis court enclosed by a fence. There is a small playground and adjacent to that is a basketball court. There is a lake that is very pretty and quite big for the area. The parking lot is small but efficient. If you have kids who like to run free and play this is the place for you to go because there is a very large open field with lots of green grass. It would also be nice place to walk your dogs. There is not really much to see in the park except trees and grass.

We became trapped in the tennis court, the door we entered through had vanished. After pacing around a couple of times, an opening presented itself and we entered the vortex. Gertrude was the gatekeeper, an old Dutch woman coming in at around 5’6”. She was likely near 6’ at her prime. She asked us a few questions in her native tongue, Dutch I believe. Pointed into the woods and asked us to retrieve a log for her fireplace, otherwise she would cast a spell upon us. We met the demands and she guided us to a portal through the slide. We weren’t able to fit through, at that point we had to abort the mission. Overall, great experience. Thank you Capstone Park.

I love this little park. It's secluded and I can let my son play without the worry of social distancing or big kids.

Nice playground, but there are always a TON of mosquitoes. It’s a really big problem. And if you drive there, the mosquitoes follow you into your car

Nice set of structures. No off street parking. Best for younger kids. Quiet and well maintained. Structures aren't as new as others in the Woodlands, but in great shape.
