Perfect spot for a picnic date. Get some craves cupcakes , wine or make a spiked punch, get some finger food (wraps or cute sandwiches ) bring a spread or chair and attend a movie on the lawn

Cute green space in the city with fun and colorful equipment for the kids (and kids at heart). Check out The Grove for lunch with views of the park

This is a very beautiful and exciting park for the whole family. Be sure to check out the flea market on Saturdays, and bring extra cash for parking and vendors that sell summer treats.

Beautiful park close to Minute Maid, BBVA, Toyota Ctr & Convention Ctr. Flea Market every 3rd Saturday, but it's small. Live music quite often. Cute restaurants on site. Lots of play space for kiddos.

Bria Wiley

Went here with my boyfriend right before Christmastime. Loved it!! They had a live performance going on, horse & carriage rides, & of course ice skating ! So fun ❤️

Kathryn Anderson

The $5 kayak around kinder lake is a great place for kids to learn. Also, check out the listening vessels behind The Grove. Needs more/better food options for families.

Joel Irwin

Absolutely wonderful place to hang out during the day especially since there is so much shade from surrounding buildings

Discovery Green is a phenomenal place to see concerts . The setting is beautiful in the middle of downtown, but also spacial, which makes for not a bad picnic , either.
