Take a trip to the country without leaving the city at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center. This wooded piece of land is a respite from the busy day to day life of Houston’s major metropolitan area. Five miles of trails wind through woods, fields, and wetlands and offer the opportunity to spot local wildlife in its natural habitat. The Nature Center is home to rotating and permanent exhibits focusing on nature and conservation and educational events for kids and adults are held on a regular basis. The Arboretum is also available to rent for events from kids’ birthday parties to weddings, and has event planners and caterers on staff to take care of every detail.
