Sightseeing
This is the newest attraction in Houston! Just opened Sept 2020. Although it’s still a work I progress, check out this place for some beautiful landscapes. Also make sure to check out the lake and sand area at the Susan Garver Discovery Garden. Bring some good walking shoes and get ready to enjoy a nice walk. Check their website for tickets.
