    I recently took my daughter and I was so disgusted with the place. There was trash over flowing in…read morethe reception area. The receptionist was not very welcoming. The bathroom, was just as worse. Looked like it hadn't been cleaned in days! It was obvious they have let that place go. With Covid still around you would think they would disinfectant but nope you could just see the layers of filth! I wish I would of asked for my money back. I was only there 20 minutes and left!

    I took my grandchildren to Play yesterday. First, I felt like I was being grilled by the desk…read moregirl. Finally found us in the system. Never had to do that before. Secondly and most concerning, the Play area we were in was filthy. Partially eaten sucker was stuck on the carpet (where baby/toddlers crawl). Next to that by the green air toy was a juice pack that had been knocked over and leaked onto carpet. Then there was half eaten candies, cookies, jelly beans, etc. everywhere, not to mention the tables were left dirty. But to top it off, was the dirty diaper left in the play area. The desk girl was sitting behind the entry desk on her phone the majority of the time i was there. Why doesn't clean that place...it was disgusting. I am going to find another place to take my grandkids.

    Heads up this is from a view of an overnight camper-…read more Me and my husband were looking for a place to camp near Houston for Christmas Eve night. We looked around Houston and everything was booked or rained out! So we found Goose Island and it had decent reviews! We decided to book a campsite for one night- our campsite was 201. When we arrived my goodness!! I've never seen so many deer - one minute outside of the park, there were about 5 deers hanging out- not scared of me or my car or the noises. It was beautiful! When we entered the park, we first was looking for our campsite and drove in many circles- it was in the "wooded area" so it was a bit hard to find! When we arrived it was around 3pm And we started setting up camp. I am thankful the parking was right in front of the campsite but also that whole area I think 201-204 Is shared. I was lucky it was Christmas so no one else Booked the area next to us but it wouldn't have been as fun if others did! We stayed overnight- everything went well as planned! One thing I didn't like the restrooms were driving distance or a longer walk away but this was an amazing weekend getaway for us! In the morning we checked out the pier area. It was nice and very different than our campsite area! Highly recommend this park even for a daytime park!

    We got a site on the beach!! It came with a casita/wind shelter with picnic table. Walked to the…read morelong pier. Very windy the time we spent here but sites are spacious and some not level at all, but all wort effort. Many very large rigs can hang out here and chill, bbq, and fish. Great spot! Texas did it again! Great spot. We pulled in on first come first served basis. And hikes in park too!

Spent about an hour interacting with parrots, butterflies, a ball python, a lovely skink, observing large iguanas and turtles, beautiful orchids, and wonderful smells all around.

    We spent a bit over an hour at this wonderful garden and nature center in late June. The…read moretemperature was over 90 degrees and it was very humid, or we could easily have spent more time there. If you go when it's hot, bring water. Mosquito repellent is also a good idea but if you forget it, it's sold in the visitor center. When you pay for admission, you get an arm band and a crude map. We wished the map was better. At least one part of a pathway was under construction, so we ended up cutting through the playground to get back. While called a botanical garden, this place is equally good for seeing birds, insects, reptiles, and other animals. Admission is very reasonable, so it's a great place to bring the kids. In the visitor center there are small caged reptiles. If there's an attendant, you might be able to pet a lizard. A blue-tongued skink was out while we were there. There are other animals in large outdoor cages, including several beautiful macaws and lizards. There is a winding path that takes you to a variety of areas on the property. Some areas, like orchids and butterflies, are within enclosures while most things you'll see are out in the open. Along the path there are a couple of elevated observation decks and lots of descriptive signage. There is an unshaded play area. There are several purple martin houses, which are fun to watch. We had hoped to see some hummingbirds in the gardens, as there was a hummingbird area with feeders and flowers they generally like, but the heat was perhaps too stifling. All in all, we found this to be a great place to visit, weather permitting. If you happen to be a member at another AHS garden, you can get in free.
