Hermann Park's Japanese Garden, Houston

Perfect little spot in downtown Houston right near the museum district. It's free which is very nice and they have benches, gazebos, some quaint looking bridges, and some streams. I especially loved the layout of the garden from trees to plants and flowers and best part of all was that most of the walkway seemed to be under shade which is a plus. A big surprise here was a squirrel it was the most friendly squirrel I've ever encountered we could almost touch it if we had food. If you are looking for a lovely little spot for pictures or just to enjoy nature I highly recommend coming here.

It's incredible that hidden behind the zoo hides a place that takes your breath away every time you visit. . The trail around the park might as well be considered a walk-through safari. I was able to photograph rabbits, ducks, coy fish, butterflies, squirrels, geese, and lizards all within 30 minutes of our visits. During daylight savings, it closes at 5 and 7 p.m spring forward.
