There are enough exciting things to do in Houston that you don’t have to worry about the soaring price of airline tickets keeping you close to home . With such a spectacular range of intriguing places, people and activities in the Bayou City, you can find new and daring things to do every day of every week.
An incredibly fun way to indulge your 5 senses in a place that calls itself the Bayou City is on a magnificent adventure on the bayou. I have fond memories of hanging out at bayous and parks in my neighborhood when I was younger. It was the place where teenage boys gathered to subvert our fears of the water by hunting for turtles, fishing and cajoling the girls into skinny dipping.
In a place that calls itself the Bayou City an incredibly fun way to indulge your 5 senses is on a magnificent adventure enjoying the 300 plus miles of Bayou Greenways where hiking, biking and paddle trails connect neighborhoods, neighbors and nature.
You’re never further than a few expressway exits from amazing destinations waiting for you to discover their brilliant treasures. Whether your goals are to awaken your creative spirit, incite your cultural intelligence or cuddle up with that someone special you can enjoy doing it on the bayou.
