Things To Do
Huntsville State Park
Great for camping, hiking, fishing, and kayaking!
Texas Prison Museum
Huntsville is known as Prison City, Texas and is home to TDCJ and seven prisons, including the Walls Unit. Not exactly a "happy" topic, but the museum is pretty cool!
Sam Houston Memorial Museum
This is a cute little park for a quick picnic. There are several historic homes related to Sam Houston on site, as well as a museum. You can also drive by Sam Houston's grave in town or check out the Big Sam statue off I-45!
Arnaud's Cajun Kitchen
Amazing cajun food! It has grown into a whole food truck park and outdoor area, so you can enjoy food, ice cream, and a cold drink!
1836 Steakhouse
This is a cool steakhouse in a large historic home in Huntsville!
City Hall Cafe And Pie Bar
Good, down-home Southern cooking! The sweet tea comes in a mason jar, as it should.
W G Jones State Forest
Jeff and I go on hikes here all the time! Very easy to get to and very easy hiking. Great place to get away from the sounds of the city.
B-52 Brewing Co.
If beer is your thing, this is a really fun brewery with a large outdoor area. They often have live music, too!
P-6 Farms
This is a great place to visit if you have little ones!
Woodson's Local Tap + Kitchen (1488)
We went on our first date here! We also had dinner here the night Jeff proposed! I recommend the giant pretzel or Austin fries :)
Houston Museum of Natural Science
This is a little further away, but this is our favorite museum! Even if you can't go this weekend, you should visit sometime. It's amazing!
Shankz Mini Golf & Arcades
If you want just a fun, short outing - try black light mini golf! Great for all ages!
Waterway Square Park
The Waterway is beautiful if you want a nice date night without the craziness of downtown Houston. The fairy lights are beautiful at night, and there are so many good restaurants! We recommend Churrascos, Morton's, and Goose's Acre.
The Butler House
Good food, eclectic environment!
Tejas Chocolate + Barbecue
AMAZING barbeque!!! They also have great chocolates. Odd combo, I know! And for you mead drinkers, there is a meadery called The Thirsty Bee just a block away!
Wild Stallion Vineyards
This is a cozy little winery in The Woodlands that we just found recently! It's a lovely place to just sit outside and relax while sipping on wine. They usually have live music, too!
