Japanese Garden at Hermann Park – Visiting Houston’s Parks, One Week at a Time

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Hermann Park Japanese Garden Bridge
Address: Hermann Park, 6100 Hermann Park Dr, Houston, TX 77030

We’ve written a lot about Hermann Park, but it has come to my attention that the weekly Houston park series is missing Hermann Park’s hidden gem… the Japanese Garden!

The garden is next to the Hermann Park reflecting pool and many people walk by and don’t even know it is there!

Hermann Park Japanese Garden 6
This fenced-in garden is right in the middle of the park and free to enter. Walk right in to be amazed by the waterfalls, bridges, paths and trees.

Take a stroll through the lush gardens and let the kids run through the paths and play on the bridges.

Take some time to relax on the shaded benches or take a quick walk through. Stop back each season to see how the gardens change and how the cherry blossoms light up the Japanese Garden.

Before you leave the park, be sure to visit Boogie Woogie next door, splash in the water by the reflecting pool, rent a pedal boat, ride the train or visit the zoo!

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!
