We are still working our way through the long list of spots, but so far, every one we’ve visited has been well-kept, had unique features and was full of lifeguards. And, the pools are open […]

Noah’s Ark Pool and Playground at Quillian Center

by Jill Jarvis 2 Comments

Noah's Ark Pool

Noah’s Ark Pool is one of my favorite pools for young kids! It is shallow, with a slide, fountains and much more! It is next to a traditional swimming pool (also included with admission) for the bigger kids, but Noah’s Ark is fenced off so there is no danger of the kids running to the deep […]

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
