Free this weekend
The Menil Collection
FreeA Renzo Piano-designed museum on a 30-acre campus of bungalows and lawns, always free. Surrealists, antiquities, and the Cy Twombly Gallery. Houstonians' favorite quiet afternoon.
Montrose · Indoor
Rothko Chapel
FreeAn octagonal meditation space housing 14 of Mark Rothko's darkest paintings, lit only by a skylight. Silent, non-denominational, and strangely moving. Twenty minutes is enough; an hour is better.
Montrose · Indoor
Buffalo Bayou Park
FreeA 160-acre green ribbon along the bayou with skyline views, the Waugh Bridge bat colony at dusk, the underground Cistern art space, and kayak launches. The best free hour in Houston.
Downtown
Hermann Park
Free445 acres of the Museum District's front yard: a miniature train, pedal boats on McGovern Lake, the Japanese Garden, and Miller Outdoor Theatre's free shows. Bring a picnic.
