Speakers & Activities for Schools… Houston Field Trips that Come to You!

by Jill Jarvis 1 Comment

Kids love field trips… but sometimes getting a bus, planning a day away from school and taking dozens or hundreds of elementary school students around Houston just isn’t possible. So, what Houston field trips will come to you?

I asked Houston parents for the best experiences they’ve had at their schools… and this is what you told me! If you have another recommendation, let me know!

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!
