Hermann Park - Houston (TX)

5 /5 DavyRockt: I dont often frequent the Museum District. So, its been awhile since my last visit to the park. However, my last visit has convinced me to frequent it more often. I was originally there to see the Great Elephant Migration temporary exhibit, and I decided to take full advantage of the area. Im a hobbyist photographer, and was using the beautiful landscape to study composition, and the area was perfect for it. I stopped by on a Thursday, close to evening, and the best parking was close to the Miller Outdoor Theatre, as lots and streetside, close to the museums, were full. There were hundreds of people out, doing a variety of activities like lounging, eating, enjoying the playgrounds. Quite a wonderful atmosphere. On top of all that, there were so many amenities to participate in. I grabbed a snow cone at a food truck, that was close to a carousel, at the commons. I also swung by the Japanes Botanical Gardens, the Sam Houston Statue, the reflecting pond, and the paddle boat area. All quite peaceful, well maintained, and inviting.

5 /5 lesley Galloway: Always so much fun and so beautiful to walk around. So much to see and do. Mini train, adventure playground, Japanese garden, elephant exhibit in April 2025, paddle boats, ducks and squirrels to name but a few. Perfect place to sit and relax. Have a picnic. Bike or run. We found a free parking lot near by which was amazing . It’s also near the zoo and museum district . There’s a wonderful cafe under a pavilion that sells drinks and snack. There’s huge fans and perfect for getting some relief from the Houston sun.

5 /5 robert guerra: Still have elephants from excipet that moved on hidden in a small area Beautiful. Peaceful very good security and maintenance. Dont forget the zoo and museum across the street. Kids will like the rides available.

5 /5 David Wang: This is such a large and beautiful park. It’s easily better than Memorial or Buffalo Bayou Park. There’s just so many free attractions here (Japanese garden, the Mount, water park, etc) compared to other places. The parking is free. There’s even a train that circles the place, which not only lets you enjoy the view, but also brings you close to every attraction without having to walk in the summer heat. The train isn’t free but the all-day ticket is easy worth it because there’s so much to do. This is one of the best parks I’ve been to anywhere in the world.
