📍Address &Opening Hours:

9AM-5PM

1 Botanic Lane Houston, Tx 77017

💰Price: $15 for adults

$28.50 if you are seeing the radiant light show

I would recommend going on a weekday in the afternoon. I went on a Tuesday at 12pm-1 ish and it was EMPTY. The scenery is beautiful and if you like to walk it is a 132 acres soo trust me you’ll get your steps in. There are a bunch of art pieces that will catch your eye from figurative African pieces to the bright titled water wall. 10/10 experience would go again.

You should check out Mercer botanical gardens! It’s in the suburbs, but it’s so beautiful and it’s normally free entry year round
