Hermann Park in Houston is one of the city's top family-friendly destinations, but also one of Houston's top parking conundrums. This 445-acre urban oasis, located in the heart of the Museum District, is home to the Houston Zoo and The Commons, which is one of the city’s best playgrounds. Plus, the Zoo hosts popular annual events like Zoo Lights.
All these visitors means that parking can be a challenge. For normal zoo days, our best tip is to arrive early, ideally before the Houston Zoo opens, to secure a good spot. If arriving early isn’t possible, read on for more parking options near the Houston Zoo and Hermann Park.

Houston, we have a new indoor waterpark! Yes, Great Wolf Lodge–the oh-so-popular year-round family destination–just opened a brand new location 35 minutes southeast of Houston in Webster, Texas. The expansive resort has toddler play pools, high-thrill water slides for teens, and lots of other fun activities under one roof, making it an easy vacation spot the whole family can enjoy.
My kids and I had been counting the days until Great Wolf Lodge Houston’s grand opening, so I was thrilled to be one of the first families to book an overnight stay and experience all the fun. Read on for my first hand review of the attractions and amenities, plus helpful tips for planning your trip and ways to save.
