What to do in Houston with Kids

what to do in Houston with kids

There is a lot to do in Houston, with kids, and we’re putting the best of the best in one spot! Look below for things to do with the family and for the interactive map!

Family Events for this Weekend:

If you are looking for the currently list of weekly events, please go HERE. If you want all this emailed to you each week, just go HERE!

Murals:

Take a self guided mural tour! It’s free and easy… and socially distanced!

Farms and Zoos:

Find room to run at a local farm or zoo! Whether you want to tour a working farm, go on a drive-thru safari, meet some animals or swing into piles of hay… the Houston area has plenty of farms ready to welcome you.

Field Trips:

With school a little different this year… we’ve been posting (parent led, social distanced) field trips each week. Each has learning resources, details on the venue and driving/parking directions.

Free Things to Do in Houston:

Here’s a list of over 50 things to do… and they are fun things to do! Feed horses, find art, tour museums and more!

100 Fun Things To Do Around Houston, With Kids:

Houston is a great place to be with kids! There are festivals, shows and events… and there is plenty to do any day of the year!

Here are 100 of the fun things to do around Houston, with kids… on any day!

Half Day in Houston:

If you have a few hours, we have ideas on how to spend them with kids. This list is organized by location.

Houston Parks:

Houston has hundreds of parks that are free and fun for the family. From tradition parks, to nature trails to wooden fortresses… Houston has them all! Find the Citywide Map of Parks with pictures and reviews, HERE.

20 “Not-Your-Usual” Things to Do:

This list does not include usual favorites… so you won’t find the awesome Children’s Museum here. Instead, you will find things with fewer crowds, some that are a little quirky, and all that are just as much fun as the well-known spots.

Things to Do around Houston, with Kids… Downtown, Montrose, Chinatown, Galveston and Beyond

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!
