We…read moreremembered that our special needs child , now teen loved Matzke park back in the day so we went there so he could stretch his legs and run around with his younger brother. Am I wrong or is this an all inclusive park AKA disability park?? There's a sign that says up to age 12?! (He's 14 btw but still loves parks) AND the swings for kids needing assistance were broken and the boat for those in wheelchairs was broken!! The big spider web thing also was no longer covered in the protective coating over the thick metal wiring. Extremely disappointed that the park for one, only allows children up to age 12 (so disabled teens aren't welcome?) and two that the park equipment looked run down. Won't be back to this park when we come back to town.

When I entered the Rec for the first time as a freshman, I was a boy. Four years have passed, and…read morenow I am a man. How did I do it? Hard, hard work: 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats, 10k run. Every SINGLE DAY. When I became tired, I relied on the plentiful recreational equipment: table tennis tables, pool tables, basketball courts (indoors and outdoors), racquetball courts, and swimming pools. Inspired by Antonio Banderas, I also enrolled in LPAP dance classes and unleashed my sexy side. But I never stopped working out. NEVER. When my legs got tired, the Rec had hot showers and gym mats for stretching. Water fountains, vending machines, and even kombucha are readily available for recovery. In the summer months, the pools are a great reprieve. And as always, the equipment, towels, and facilities are squeaky clean. If you come to the Rec every day for four years, I guarantee you will see results. You may go bald. You may become a superhero. You might get your Nod bod. And you will certainly feel infinitely healthier than all the people couch potato-ing in their dorms.

I can attest that there are many heavy objects available for lifting in the weight room (but actually, really nice machines/barbells/dumbbells/two squat racks). Note- it's definitely the most busy here before mealtimes, and especially immediately before and after dinner. Try to come in the morning, early afternoon, or during mealtimes if you're like me and don't like people :)

I've been coming to Moody Park since I was a kid, and it's still one of my favorite spots in…read moreHouston. It's a beautiful park right in the heart of the Northside with a lot of history. If you're looking to get some cardio in, the track is great--it's about 0.8 miles (or just a bit over), and I've walked it plenty of times to shed some calories. Another huge bonus is the free weight room. You're not going to find 600 lbs of plates in there, but there's more than enough to get a solid pump going. The indoor basketball court has a couple of loose boards, but considering it's been there for 40+ years, it's still a classic spot to play. The outdoor courts also hold so many memories. I really wish they'd open the pool back up, but even without it, the park is a gem. Plus, there are so many great lunch spots nearby to hit up after a workout. I'll keep using this park until the day I leave Houston--if I ever do

The ladies restroom looks like a crime scene; it's so creepy. I couldn't even bring myself to walk inside to occupy it.

The whole pavilion where the restrooms are housed are outdated and give off that old mildew odor. The parking lot is big, but there isn't much secluded parts to eat lunch in the car, etc. It's a small park and there is one main area with watering hole. The park isn't as frequent.

And the fact that it's less than ten minutes from home makes it even better. This is truly a perfect spot for young children--everything is set up to spark curiosity while still being age-appropriate and safe.

We decided to become members shortly after, and honestly, it was a great choice. The value, the experience, and the joy it brings her make it 100% worth it. Highly recommend for parents looking for something fun and educational. We'll definitely be back--again and again.

My husband and I are both in STEM careers - so any chance we get, we're trying to introduce our daughters to STEM activities and this place did not disappoint. The staff were very kind and welcoming. They had the girls put on their lab coats and safety glasses, explained the science lab rules and helped clean up our messes as we moved through the stations. We got to do so many activities and experiments and you also got to take your slime/product home after. I will say the time goes very fast so you do have to be quick if you want to try out more of the experiments. This place can also host birthday parties & field trips which I thought was so neat!

This is a great place for your littles especially if they love science and experimenting…read more We were invited to a birthday party here and As usual there is a room for hosting the party. The rooms are somewhat small so check out the capacity for the amount of kids you're catering for. I'm not sure if they have bigger rooms as two I saw were the same size but on the smaller end. Also the pipes weren't working and the sinks smelled really bad. The highlight of the experience was after when they came and got the kids and started the experiments. For this part the kids did about four different experiments and they had so much fun learning and experimenting. It can get a little chaotic and I wished they had separate rooms to do the experiments as there were two other sets of experiments going on and it was just loud and the guy had to be shouting a lot. Overall the kids loved it and they even got to play with other random stuff that was not apart of the experiments that are in the area. They were also given lab coats and eyewear and they looked like real scientists which they loved. The experiments were very kid friendly and they got to bring home some of their work, like slime and fake snow. Without the party kids can come in and enjoy the room and do different experiments which I was told there are different packages of what you'd want your kids to do. The bathrooms were messy and toilet paper was all around on the wet floor. So that for me is a let down as we have young kids and would want to ensure they have somewhere clean to use. It's also like a big warehouse though and things are just round and about.

I'm pretty sure the adults had a lot of fun as well assisting with making slime, creating a volcano, and a mini bottle rocket. A separate room was also provided for the pizza party (bring your own) and cake. Parents can also rent by the hour open lab time. They provide a binder with easy to follow directions and you can move between stations completing all the different experiments. What a great concept!

You can also come on your own to do the experiments, which is great. The kids get dressed in white lab coats and goggles and get to experiment with all kinds of hands-on activities. Each group has a staff member who walks them through the experiments step by step, which makes it engaging and easy to follow. A few of the experiments even get to go home with the kids! This is truly a win-win spot where kids get to have fun and feel like real little scientists. I want to say I've even seen deals on Groupon before, which makes it an even better value. Highly recommend!!
