About this adventure
Nestled on the western edge of Memorial Park just 4 miles from Downtown, the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center offers 155 acres of tranquil native forest, meadow, and wetland habitats. The winter season brings cool, comfortable breezes perfect for exploring 5 miles of walking trails, including the ADA-accessible Sensory Trail and Outer Loop. Children can investigate interactive nature exhibits in the Discovery Room, spot turtles and herons along the Ravine and Pond trails, and play on natural balance logs in the Nature Playscape. Admission is always completely free.
