First thing's first - a free option. Because everyone loves free, amiright? && there's a little bit of everything at Hermann Park Conservancy.
Plenty of good ol' Texan horticulture at the Arid Garden and Bayou Parkland.
If you're into the views and aesthetics you can take a stroll over to The Cherie Flores Garden Pavilion or Pergola Walk.
Need a sensory adventure for the kiddos? The Family Garden is edible and interactive! There's also a really cool train that's technically not free - its $7 on the weekends - but it's an all-day pass, and kids frickin' love trains.
Last, but certainly not least, Miller's Outdoor Theater hosts a variety of entertainment, all family-friendly and free of charge.
Check out the website linked for a multitude of cool (and did I already mention free? - yeah, yeah, except the train) things to do at Hermann Park!
