Discovery Green Park is a 12-acre urban park situated in Downtown Houston. This park offers a kids play area, dog runs for your fur babies, restaurants, a man-made lake, and more.

At Discovery Green Park, there is a full itinerary of kid-friendly events throughout the year, like Toddler Tuesdays, Young Writer’s Workshop, and Family Movie Nights.

Have a picnic in the park surrounded by nature. Make merry and splash around at the Gateway fountains or kayak on the lake.

We think a visit here is one of the best things to do in Houston with kids!
