Every year I go to Five cousins to pick my own strawberries... I didn't even know that place…read moreexisted. It happened the day I decided to go to Poteet, five cousins was closed and they posted on their Facebook page other farms suggestions in the area. This one caught my eye. It is family owned and even the grand kids are there showing people how to pick the strawberries. It is a great place for a family outing. Very friendly and generous. They don't even weight the strawberries... you get a box and even overfill it for $20 It was a fun day and for sure I will return!

Huge slides, kids zip lines, pumpkin patch, hay rides, barrel train rides, corn maze, swings, games, sandbox with dump trucks, bubble area, construction digger truck operation area, food, barn with a band playing and dance floor, campfires (for reservation), flower fields for pictures or picking (for a small fee), apple cannons you can shoort for an additional fee I believe, lots of picture opportunities. Everything was well spread out so even though there was a lot of people you didn't feel like you were on top of each other. Also, the lines were pretty short or non existent. The food was good, and not overly expensive. We had brisket fries (real brisket, not something that tastes like it came from a tub), all toppings were help yourself. They also had your typical turkey legs, funnel cakes, kettle corn, etc. We got there shortly after they opened on Sunday and stayed almost until they closed. Our almost two year old loved it. The parking was super easy to get in and out. You do have to purchase tickets online, then show the QR code at the front. No cash, card only but there is a way to convert cash there if needed at one of the stations. Highly recommend bringing your family here for some wholesome fall fun.

We purchased the souvenir cups which we were informed can be brought back any future visits for free refills. We definitely recommend coming, with our without kids!

We walked through the Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, an adorable set up of a water conservation garden, cacti/succulent garden and had a relaxing break on the swing facing the pond filled with turtles and ducks. Make sure you stop inside the high humidity garden and the indoor cacti garden with a unique display of various cacti. There is also a really nice children's garden/area and the botanical garden is child friendly in general. There are a lot of spots to enjoy your lunch. I suggest bringing snacks or your lunch. I didn't see any places to purchase food. Parking is free. We visited midweek and it was pretty mellow. A gift shop is located at the entrance. Overall, this botanical garden is at the top of my list and it's definitely worth a visit.

What a beautiful piece of heaven! I felt like I was transported into another world and didn't feel…read morelike I was in a city at all. My first visit and a definite must in the Spring. Parking was plentiful and easy. Entry is $18 per adult, $16 with military discount. The park is well paved and divided into themed sections. See pic of map below. And in addition, there were 11 beautiful art installations related to plants throughout the park to admire and take pics. Love the symbiotic flow between garden and art. I really enjoyed Pineywoods Lake- gorgeous wooded area with cabins, and lots of benches to sit, relax, and enjoy nature. Vibrant cardinals high up in the trees were singing and turtles were lounging and catching sun rays on a small island in the middle of the lake. Another fave was the Lucile Halsey Conservatory area. The multi color Flowy Flora in Flight resides there and caught my eye. The area also housed the Desert pavilion, fern grotto, tropical conservatory, and palm and cycad pavilion. So many interesting plants and landscaped in a meticulous manner. Couldn't get enough : D Plan to spend about 2-2 1/2 hours and we brought lunch and had a nice picnic near the lake. Cute gift shop and coffee near entrance. I'll be back.
