Things to do in Houston this weekend, with kids! May 16, 17, 18, 19, 2013
This weekend, get out doors and visit the Urban Harvest Farmer’s Market or go Strawberry Picking at Froberg’s Farm or Blessington Farms. On Saturday, moms get in free to the Farm Funland at Blessingtown Farms. Or visit another kind of farm at Main Street Theater and see Charlotte’s Web.
Discovery Green is always a sure bet with Kayaking, Young Writer’s Workshop, Flea by Night, music and more. While you are downtown, be sure to visit Market Square Park, the new Houston is Inspired Mural and the mysterious red button on the Preston Street Bridge.
This weekend is also LegoFest at Reliant, but tickets are selling out quickly. Be sure to check the website before you head out.
Also be sure to also check out this list of free Houston activities for any day of the week!
