A month ago I moved to Houston from NYC and I couldn't find a place in the city that I liked, this park makes me remember Central Park for its lakes and the zoo as well as its sidewalks! I would love to see people running or taking photos or sitting on the grass like in Central park but so far it is my favorite place in Houston! the Japanese garden reminds me a lot of NYC.

Lovely area within Hermann Park. Parking in Lot G, E, or F are all rather close to this view of the fountain and the plaza. There are often performers playing music and a fun ambiance throughout the entire plaza. Definitely would recommend this area for a lovely stroll, running on the trail, a date, or a family night out. Check it out when you have the chance!

Beautiful and right by the Houston Zoo. There are paddle boats for renting and reasonable price and biking/jogging path. There is also an outdoor seating theater close by that looks very cool but no shows were running.

Picnic here was delightful, great vibes all around.

I was not so impressed, may be because it's still feels like winter. As a person just came from Colorado and never been to Texas before, I expectation was to be much warmer and green scenery with colorful flower. I guess winter is cold everywhere :). I love the new flowers coming out in some trees welcoming the spring and very glad to share them with you.

Nice place to sit and relax, good option for boating and fishing I don't know if it's allowed and what species can be found here. Wooden benches are available if you want to have a picnic with family and children will definitely enjoy the ducks and squirrel arround the area.

This is situated along the eastern edge of McGovern Lake and is adjacent to the main entrance to the Houston Zoo. There are lots of birds and the water fountain on the McGovern Lake is beautiful. Also the Plaza includes Kinder Station (the main station for the Hermann Park Train), the Hermann Park Conservancy Gift Shop, Pinewood Cafe, public restrooms, the Tiffany & Co. Foundation Bridge, a pedal boat lagoon. Nearby parking is available.

So much pleasure just walking around, so serene and all green trees that walking underneath so peaceful

The boats are $12 for 30 minutes of peddling fun with a max of 4 people per boat. Totally worth it!

Beautiful park. Very much enjoyed our walk through.

I loved this park!! It surprised me how big it is ! Beautiful and relaxing

A wonderful, huge and very well planned and organized park ever visited. Having fun and enjoyment for visitors of all age, including the very young once.
