"A post shared by Titianna Richards (@trinitistudioshtx) on Dec 24, 2019 at 7:28am PST. Romantic review: “Located in the Galleria area, the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park is a great place to relax, people watch, and enjoy the scenery...The Waterwall itself provides great photo opportunities for out of town visitors as well as locals. Sometimes there are even people taking professional photos for engagements, weddings, and other special occasions."

"Formerly known as the the Williams Waterwall, this cascading 64ft fountain lined by live oaks works as both a guaranteed-like Instagram shot and a way to stay cool in the summer. Bonus knowledge: the sculptural fountain was designed by the same guys who did Houston’s Pennzoil Place and NYC’s former AT&T World Headquarters."

"In the Galleria, take pictures by the giant wall of water or by the giant trees the line the park."

"Discovery Green is a vibrant 12-acre park in the heart of downtown Houston that provides the public with a beautiful outdoor space in which to relax and participate various outdoor activities. Together, the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy opened the park in 2008. Today, Discovery Green presents a variety of dynamic programs, workshops, and events throughout the year that are free and open to the public."

"This urban green space is pretty magical, what with canopies of trees, lush landscaping, Kinder Lake, abstract art (like the art boxes of the “Synchronicity of Color” installation), and lots of park events and activities to ’gram. The options are endless — literally. @themarquishouembedded via"

"Big trees, colorful block walls and lots of sunshine make this another great spot for photos. Parking is paid in lots and metered on the street."

"With an excellent choice of multiple trails for walking and biking, Buffalo Bayou Park is a lovely location to take the family for some healthy exercise. The meandering park is made up of 124 acres of spacious green with awesome views of Houston skyline thrown into the mix. Besides all of this, there is also a nature play area, artwork and live artistic performances to enjoy together with a dog park if you have any four legged friends in the family."

"2:30pm Explore River Oaks, Buffalo Bayou Park or Shop There are plenty of places to shop in Houston but the River Oaks area is the toniest neighbourhood in Houston. You can see some over the top, stunning homes - some feature in an annual azalea trail where they open up their homes for inspection. Rumour has it that if the azaleas bloom earlier than expected these uber wealthy residents bring in ice companies to cool the blooms down."

"This newly developed sinuous 160-acre park follows Buffalo Bayou west from downtown. There are numerous parking areas and you can walk here from many points. There are areas for exercise, contemplation, art exhibits and much more. The views back to downtown are striking. Activities here include kayak tours with Bayou City Adventures and bike rentals with Bike Barn Bayou Rental."

"This splendid six acre dining and entertainment complex was made even more amazing by the amalgamated redevelopment of two of Houston’s landmarks, the Central Waterworks Building and Fire Station No.1. Now with plenty of room to house its 500,000 gallon aquatic wonderland with 200 species of exotic global residents, it is a great attraction for all the family, and especially the kiddies as they can enjoy the fun aquarium’s rides, from Frog Hopper to Shark Voyage and Aquatic Carousel. There are plenty of treats for the adults too as the venue includes shopping, an upscale bar, full-service restaurant, a fully equipped ballroom and geographic and aquatic exhibits."

"Along with the zoo, Houston’s Downtown Aquarium is must-see for animal fans. This one is more focused on the aquatic kinds, but it’s just as invigorating. Come here if you’re in downtown Houston and want to see what fantastic creatures from deep below the surface are really like."

"Located at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts (MFAH), the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens is the home to the museum’s collection of American decorative arts and paintings. Displayed in the former house of Houston civic leader and philanthropist Ima Hogg, which is situated on 14 acres of beautifully manicured gardens in the historic River Oaks neighborhood, the collection is made up of a range of paintings and decorative arts, including ceramics and silver. Bayou Bend is also home to the Lora Jean Kilroy Visitor and Education Center, which includes the Kitty King Powell Library and a retail store, where visitors can purchase copies of their favorite paintings and other decorative arts."

"Bayou Bend’s Museum of Fine Arts is one of the most aesthetically stimulating things to do in Houston. This house-turned-museum is the former residence of Houston philanthropist Ima Hogg. The Bayou Bend Collection is currently considered one of the nation’s largest and best American decorative arts collections."

"No weekend in Houston is complete without a visit to Rice University, so after having your fill, (responsibly) make your way there for a sunset light show spectacle at the Turrell Skyspace."

"With neo-Byzantine architecture surrounded by a kingdom of twisting, towering oak trees and springtime azaleas, this 100+ year-old campus proves Houston is quite foxy, after all."

"The core values of this house of worship center around the Christian faith, worship, discipleship, ministry, stewardship and fellowship. St. Martin’s believes in welcoming both individuals and families who wish to have an opportunity to be a part of a faith community and share in Christian fellowship. School aged kids from sixth grade up will enjoy belonging to one of the Key Groups and getting involved in student ministry designed for their particular grade."

"Lakewood Church is also the largest churches amongst many in Houston, one in here you’ll find this place rising the belief in faith and spreading positivity around. This was structured inside a former basketball stadium that now has an altar, stage, some jumbo screens, and a comfortable seating structure. While traversing Houston many tourists are seen to worship the beauty and peace the place beholds and it is a must for you to visit this magnificent church."

"Lakewood Church is considered to have the largest fellowship in USA, with over 52,000 members. It was established by John Osteen and his wife Dolores in 1959. It has over 16,000 seating facility inside the main building."

"Located at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts (MFAH), the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens is the home to the museum’s collection of American decorative arts and paintings. Displayed in the former house of Houston civic leader and philanthropist Ima Hogg, which is situated on 14 acres of beautifully manicured gardens in the historic River Oaks neighborhood, the collection is made up of a range of paintings and decorative arts, including ceramics and silver.

"Bayou Bend’s Museum of Fine Arts is one of the most aesthetically stimulating things to do in Houston. This house-turned-museum is the former residence of Houston philanthropist Ima Hogg. The Bayou Bend Collection is currently considered one of the nation’s largest and best American decorative arts collections."

"Next, check out Buffalo Bayou Park’s Cistern – an old water reservoir that has been emptied and renovated for exploration with a tour group. For sunset, stake out a spot near the Jamail Skate Park to watch the sunset over the city skyline. If you’re interested in fine arts, it’s worth checking if there are any shows playing at the Houston Symphony or the Houston Ballet. Or, if sports are your thing, attend a Rockets, Astros, Texans, or Dynamo game."

"You can get a great photo of the Houston skyline from the George Bush Snr statue or book in for an underground Cistern tour that is also sometimes a temporary art space if that is your sort of thing. Just near the underground Cistern tour is supposed to be one of the most popular selfie spots with a view of the Houston skyline in the background."

"In the likely event you’re doing this walking tour on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, you might want to cross the bayou at Sabine street to visit the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern. The cistern was an underground water storage facility built in 1926. Today it’s an eery but cool place to view art installations."

"The baked goodies at Croissant-Brioche are delightful, whether you want to munch on them inside the light, bright cozy café area or outside at the sweet tables along the Rice Village street. It opens as early as 7 am, which makes it a relaxing spot to grab a latte and light-as-air almond croissant before you roll into work. Other pros: potentially the finest éclair around, apricot danishes and a selection of sandwiches on amazing baguette bread."

"You may have 99 problems, but this Asian grocery store ain’t one. 99 Ranch is a favorite because of its immense variety, whether you’re talking about the pre-packaged, imported snacks and drinks or the 85 Degree Bakery inside with its memorable custard bread. The food court covers everything from Korean to Cajun."
