Great community event. Kudos to the organizers for the hard work well done!…read more You can't please everyone for a large gathering like this. Although, my only concerns were the signage in the parking lot and the uneven grassy festival ground. I was walking carefully without injuring my ankles. I got in free because it was just opened on the first day. I figured that I should spend money by buying something. The soda truck caught my attention. I love the ladies' friendly smiles. Splash dogs was kind of fun to watch. Especially, seeing kids got wet from the splashes. This was my first time visiting Pearland. I love this Shadow Creek Ranch area. After the festival, I headed to Town Center on Broadway (I think I helped the V&CB to achieve its goal).

This isn't a charity event. The rodeo charges admission, as does the Texas State Fare. You can grab crawfish and eat outside anywhere, so don't bother coming here if you are going to moan about paying admissions or over $5 (really, what are you still on an allowance from your mommy?).* On to my review... Great family event, especially if it's within walking distance from your house like it is mine. I'm not a crawfish fan, I don't like them on a plane, I don't like them in a train, but the festival has much more to offer beyond mud bugs. I didn't ride the carnival rides, but there where plenty to choose from and people appeared to be having a great time. There are two stages set up with live music blasting, pretty cool. Miller lite is the official sponsor. The vendors all appeared to be selling the same typical Fair fare (get it, no?). Of course I went to the tent/ vendor with all brothas (African-Americans) on the pit. Man am I glad I did! Sausage on a stick and turkey leg was banging, SON! Smokey and Juicy just like I like it! Oh yeah, it's always fun to get a glimpse of Carneys. Such an unfortunate breed of people. I've always theorized that all Carneys originate from the hills of West Virginia (sorry, not sorry ). Anyhow, it's not Disney World or anything like that, but I wasn't expecting for it to be, so that's okay. Just a great community event that brings people together for the weekend.

I paid $15 for admission and I was generally not impressed by the Pasadena Strawberry Festival…read more However, I'm not gonna rate it below three stars because for an average festival it faired well. It had plenty of rides. It had plenty of food stands. A little tip, buy your tickets online because to buy them in person requires standing in a 30-45 minute line. No one wants to do that. We bought ours onsite through our phones. By the time I got to the ticket booth, I could've been in and out of the festival. Inside the convention center is where you'll find the massive strawberry shortcake that's always advertised each year. It tasted regular to me but my grandparents loved the one I brought them. Maybe I just got a bad slice. It's cash only. $5. The ATM charges a 4.95 fee for withdrawal so bring cash ahead of time if you can. The exhibits throughout the convention center were really nice. It was a lot of different options but nothing out of the norm. I won't be going back next year. This was definitely a one-time thing. At least there were hardly any lines for the rides and the parking was free!

Since 2010- Friendswood Fine Arts/FFAIonline has been putting on this fun family friendly event…read more The goal of the event is to provide a voice to the local art community! This is a sponsored event which allows it to be free to the public with all sponsored proceeds going back into the local art community! One weekend out of the year this event visits Stevenson Park located in Friendswood, Texas. "Art in the Park" offers multiple art demonstrations, community art projects, music entertainment and children's activities for the public to enjoy. Most of the art on display is available for purchase. Be on the lookout for the "Tree of Life"! The "Tree of Life" is a nine foot tall walking tree! Inside that tree you will find Michael Shaffer who travels the world educating people of the importance of trees. Your jaw will drop if you have the pleasure of seeing this beautiful tree! Side note- he does not mind posing for a photo with you so get your camera out!

Visited Froberg's on Friday, Jan 6. The strawberries were abundant and very fresh…read more $5 per person for admission. My 2 year old was free. $2 for a bucket (must use a Froberg's bucket for picking). We bought 2 to share among the 4 of us. We filled both close to the top (close to 6 lbs total). I'm not sure how much it cost per lb since I didn't pay, but i think it was $5/lb. Credit card does incur a 3.99% fee. We also bought some bbq: brisket sandwich, hotdog with turkey sausage and jalapeno sausage, Arizona green tea, bottled water, and 2 sausages to-go (jalapeno pork & deer sausage and regular sausage). It was a lot of food actually for $48. We also bought some baked goods to-go (especially enjoyed the oatmeal cookie, chocolate cookie, and pecan pie) . Cookies were $1.50 each or $12/dz. The medium pie (about 4 servings) was maybe $6-7. Being a Friday, there was not much to do at all because all the rides, games, and food trucks only run on the weekends. I guess it saved us money at least bc everything cost $3-4 (tokens). We still managed to stay 2 hours (it made our 1 hr drive worth it) because we ate the bbq at the shaded picnic tables while my 2 year old played on the playground. It's a small playground, but it had her favorite things- swings, slides, and a tire tower to climb. She had fun. I may go to Blessington for the pumpkin patch this fall (based off reviews), but fruit picking is pretty fun here.

You can reserve your tickets 10am on Fridays on their website however tickets go FAST!

Which one guy on Saturday decided to break this rule. Lawn chair are permitted to use. I prefer Friday night events as opposed to Saturday nights because Saturdays are CROWDED. Also parking can be a nightmare. However it's great family fun. There are restrooms available they also sell snacks and beverages (I bought a bottle of soda for $4!! Definitely bring your own food and drinks)

There is music everywhere, and everyone in a great mood. You do need wristbands to get into the individual booths. Once you're in, though, each tent has its own personality, and that's part of the charm. The food is, of course, the main attraction, and the smells alone are worth the trip. Depending on which booth you get into, the quality can vary, but the whole experience is more about the atmosphere. The last day of the cook off is the final chance to buy any discounted carnival tickets. It's a fun, high‑energy kickoff to rodeo season. You can even go to the rodeo carnival afterwards.

We arrived around 2:30, and the carnival area was pretty quiet at that time, which was actually nice. Our tent already had some food out, and drinks were flowing by around 5:00 once more of the crowd started arriving. As the evening went on, the area really picked up and more food came out, entertainment started, and the energy definitely shifted. There were a lot of different food options, and we felt safe the entire time, which is always important at big events like this. We stayed for about six hours, which felt a little long. Honestly, the nighttime atmosphere is where it's at! Next time we'd probably go a bit later to catch more of that peak energy. Overall, a really fun experience. Can't wait to go again next year!

We arrived here on the last Sunday of the year. December 28, 2025. It was very auspicious for sure. We found parking at around 7:45pm and had people directing us where to park. We found parking and walked towards the entrance and waited for my friend's friends to show up. After introductions, we entered the botanical park and my friend scanned all the tickets for our group to enter. I'm not sure how much those tickets costs, but I'm sure it was worth every penny. We probably spent about 1 1/2 hours here from start to finish. We tried to stay close to together, walking close together and enjoying the lit up displays along the way. It was cool how everything was themed. From animals and insects to the many Chinese astrology animals. We even asked each other about who is what sign and we all tried to find where our Chinese animal was. It was a fun experience to have with friends on a Sunday evening. A lot of trees and signage were decorated with a lot of lights and festive themes. It was a beautiful night to be out and about. Thanks to my friends and new friends who have helped me enjoy the last Sunday of 2025 with a paid admission. It was cool that there was a lot of families and children out and about. Weather was good that night. No need to put on layers. There were food vendors in the park that night but we ate dinner prior to coming out to the Houston Botanical Gardens. The overall experience here at the Houston Botanical Gardens was very cool. Just saw the gardens at night which was cool but not during the day when it can be very therapeutic and calming as well. Still, the most beautiful thing about the lights event is that it brings people together during the holidays. Brings out the humanity in people when life seems to be on edge these days. The atmosphere that night was decidedly electric and plenty of people were around to make it better. I forgot to take photos that evening but the memories will live with me forever. For the most part though, I enjoyed myself here, seeing something different than the usual tourist thing in Houston at night. The asphalt paths was marked and there was no problem navigating around the garden. It felt smaller than it was but then again, I was following friends around without realizing how large the botanical garden really was. And so, it was just the right place that I needed to be. Enjoying the vacation with friends before doing something in Missouri City 2 days later. Maybe I should not have walked around too much that evening, but it's been a good way to be active out here at the Houston Botanical Gardens than sitting around at the house. I'm pretty sure that the lights show that I attended here is a seasonal event, so I'm assuming that they just have it annually. Not sure about other events at the HBG, but definitely check them out if you are interested and in the Houston area. Just happened to be here during the holidays in 2025. The Houston Botanical Garden is a beautiful place that's located centrally in the city of Houston, Texas. It's physically located at 1 Botanic Lane, Houston. I'm sure they accept major credit cards as well as cash for their online ticketing and people who pay at the entrance on a daily basis. As far as parking goes, there's quite a bit of parking stalls here. Albeit being at night, I figured that it was large enough to fit about 75-100 cars at any given time. I'm not sure about public transportation options, since I'm a visitor to Houston, but you can double check with the local transportation authority and see which routes are applicable and appropriate for your next trip to the Houston Botanical Gardens. Best thing to do is to have your own car, rent one, or hit up your local Houston friends to hang out at the Houston Botanical Gardens next time they're available. And of course, there is Uber and Lyft if you need their services as well. The admission fee is reasonable for anyone and everyone to help maintain the gardens. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable about the native plants that's being cared for here. There's signage that helps you identify all the plant species that are here at the HBG. Do yourself a favor and come down to The Houston Botanical Gardens on your next trip to Houston. It may be the place you need to start or end your day. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+
