We were greeted at the side door by the grandmother, who gave us a personal tour.

My kids (1 and 3) had a hoot, especially petting the goats. We also picked up some handmade soap. All in all, an egg-cellent experience with a nice family running the place.

This park is far away enough from Houston but still close enough for a day trip, which is what I did. It took me about 30 minutes to drive here from Sugar Land. As I approached the entrance gate, I saw that they had two lines of cars with gate booths, just like the national parks. A ranger came out to my car and I registered myself as a day visitor. A park map was given to me and off I went to explore! Brazos Bend SP is larger than I thought it would be. There was a large parking lot and a few trailheads not too far away from the entrance, but I decided to drive past it to the next lot. 2 miles on the road later, the next parking lot was equally large but with much less cars and visitors. There's an interpretive center that was closed when I went, but a water fountain was nearby where I refilled my water bottle. I ended up walking along a combination of trails to get a feel for the place. The trails are mostly flat with asphalt, dirt, and light gravel. The peacefulness of this park is what really convinced me of the gem that this place is. Along the way, I witnessed many birds, including several vulture roosts in the trees. I also saw the American alligator in a pond, which I viewed from a safe distance. It would be quite difficult to reach the river and the ponds because of the natural vegetation in the area, so there weren't any wild alligators on the trails. I didn't get the chance to fully explore this park, but I wouldn't mind returning here another day. The gift shop offers a variety of items to purchase and the rangers seemed knowledgeable about the history of the park. Overall, I enjoyed my time here!

Well, we get there and head to the grill because we were famished and ready for a burger, walk in and were told they only had one cook and they had a limited menu: chicken strips, wings and pizza. Not what we expected when the menu online had much more of a selection. It was basically a kids menu. So, we had no choice but order what they had. A corn dog, wings and chicken tenders. Gross, gross and gross. Undercooked corn dog, dry wings and processed chicken strips. The swim up bar was closed. The snack shack was closed. The slides were closed. Kids in the hot tub (which is clearly marked no one under 18 in the hot tub). One trash can for the whole area. Water was clean enough and drinks were okay, nothing special. Everyone was nice, but the person on the phone clearly should have told us what we were walking into. They put us in the spot right next to the playground area. We called and asked if the lights were on all night and how bright they were. Yes, on all night and no, not bright, was the answer. Good thing we requested to move because those lights were incredibly bright! Even from four spots down! Sunset was nice. Park is clean and maybe it's fun when they are at full capacity and everything is open and functioning, but it was less than stellar of an experience. Limited on pretty much everything. No maps with park info or anything. We tried to make the best of it, but not what we expected at all. Pretty bummed about the whole experience. Front desk needs to up their game and offer accurate information so campers know what to expect. Should've left when they said they didn't have any maps or info about the park.

I came with my family and there just happened to be random sounds of thunder. It is completely understandable that we had to wait 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder to enter the facilities. However, the way the teenage lifeguards spoke to us was so utterly disrespectful, but whatever...that was no problem at first. We hung out by the lake for about an hour and a half playing and listening to music. Meanwhile all the lifeguards were screaming, laughing, listening to music and lounging by the pool sunbathing because it was clear and sunny by now. We timed it and waited 30 minutes after the last thunder sound to go ask if we could go in. They told us the last sound was one minute ago. Uh what? Okay... As we were leaving, I decided to check if they had a number I could have to call and ask if the pool is open. I was banging on the gate yelling HELLO! HELLO! Even though they were right by the gate, they couldn't hear me over their laughing. After awhile, they looked back over their shoulder and utter "Yeah?" I asked 'Could I speak to someone face to face please?' And they didn't even move and said "what?" I was appalled and so disgusting by their attitude. I see this behavior in my high school classes, but if these are lifeguards representing the community we pay to be apart of, I never want to go back again. My 6-year-old son even looked at me and said 'They are not very nice, right?' Pahh!!

Amazing experience!! I would highly recommend this place! The horses are gorgeous, very well trained and friendly. The ride along the ranch is enjoyable and relaxing. The trainer who was with us was also very friendly and knowledgable, he shared some stories with us about the horses and his own experience. The trainer also offered to take our pictures and videos (very king gesture). Also worth mentioning is the fact that the trainer did have a mask on the entire time and kept checking in on us to make sure that we were having a good time and that we were comfortable. Once we were done he also offered hand sanitizer to us, very nice gesture. Overall very nice experience, looking forward to going back again :) read more

As newcomers to the facility, it was difficult to settle in because there was a lot of noise and distraction--many kids were yelling, not listening, and playing around in a way that made it hard for others to stay focused. The overall lack of cooperation among the kids made it challenging for my own children to engage and follow along. On top of that, the coaching could have been more clear and direct. During the obstacle course, instructions weren't always well communicated, which left me stepping in to guide my kids myself so they could participate properly. One positive note was Coach Aiden, who seemed to genuinely understand how to guide the kids and was especially helpful with my son, who felt overwhelmed during the session.

(They are at the Fulshear Farmers Market most Saturdays except if they're booked for a private event- check their Facebook page for updates the week that you want to go) My kids loved it! There were furry mammals and chickens in an enclosure (Guinea pigs, rabbits, mini goats), and in the travel bus there were 4 reptiles and a hedgehog. We even got to hold the bearded dragon and the tortoise :) so cool! Only downside: no masks were worn inside the travel bus. We were sitting in there for a good 10 min or so, in close quarters with 2 other kids and the female staff member (who was super nice!) but my kids and I were the only ones wearing masks.

The trail was paved but not always the same width. Some parts were narrower than others. I saw warning signs for the cyclists to give room for pedestrians.

I would love to return on a sunny day in the summer.
