Main Street Indoor Park – Visiting Houston’s Parks, One Week at a Time

by Jill Jarvis 1 Comment

First Methodist Indoor Park Train
Address:  First Methodist Houston Downtown, 1320 Main Street, Houston, TX 77002
Cost:  Free!
Hours:  Tuesdays – Wednesdays – Thursdays, 9:00am – 12:00pm
Appropriate Age:  Kids 5 years and younger

This week’s park review is of Main Street Indoor Park at the First Methodist’s Downtown campus. The park is designed for kids 5 years old and younger and is free and open to the public.

First Methodist Downtown PlaygroundThis indoor park is perfect for preschoolers to run around and play. The play area is just inside the front doors of the church. It is designed to look like a town square with storefronts, park benches and soft turf. It is really done well and reminds me of Disney or Vegas.

Even better than this, the play structure is a huge train! Kids can climb into the train and slide down the slides.

I took my 3 kids when they were open one weekend and, although the park is for preschoolers, my 6 year old was allowed in. He helped his brother on the steps and sat on the benches while my 4 and 2 year had a great time at this new playground.

Main Street Indoor Park is not huge, but it is completely closed in, nicely designed, temperature controlled and has bathrooms. I recommend taking your preschoolers for some free, and cool/dry/clean fun!

    How is the safety factor with parking, being that it it's downtown?

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!
