The Waterwall has hosted weddings and served as the backdrop of both Hollywood and Bollywood movies."

"2:30pm Explore River Oaks, Buffalo Bayou Park or Shop There are plenty of places to shop in Houston but the River Oaks area is the toniest neighbourhood in Houston. You can see some over the top, stunning homes - some feature in an annual azalea trail where they open up their homes for inspection. Rumour has it that if the azaleas bloom earlier than expected these uber wealthy residents bring in ice companies to cool the blooms down."

"That big Ferris wheel enticing you from I-45 and I-10 invites you to experience all the Downtown Aquarium has to offer. Amusement rides and carnival games thrill alongside aquarium adventures and hands-on encounters with stingrays.

"Miss Ima Hogg and her brothers worked hard to transform the 14 acres of natural woodlands and winding ravines around their home into a Secret Garden-esque sanctuary, so it’s only fair that you pay $5 to bask in its glory."

"14900 Telge Road, Cypress 77429 This 57-acre preserve is a great place to see some indigenous wildlife, from birds to butterflies to reptiles. Expect a more rustic atmosphere than other county parks; the trails are not paved, but you can use jogging strollers and there are benches near the wetlands along the trails. There is a one-mile interactive trail with information signage that involves a QR reader as well as a .7-mile non-interactive trail."

The park also houses a 1932 log cabin, originally the home of the park’s namesake, Edith L. Moore, and the only log home within the city of Houston that still stands today where it was originally built."
