Houston Botanic Garden
A newly opened botanic garden from 2020, with subtropical and desert plant displays laid out along Sims Bayou, ideal for a relaxed stroll and photos.
Located southeast of the city on the site of a former golf course, the roughly 50-hectare garden opened in 2020. Its global collection is arranged by tropical, subtropical, and arid zones. It also includes an edible plant garden, a children's garden, and wetland trails along Sims Bayou. The garden is still being developed and is smaller than long-established botanic gardens, but it is especially pleasant during the flowering and autumn seasons. Admission is about $15. You'll need a car, and it can be visited on the way to Space Center Houston.
