sddsddean Posted August 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Next April, we are coming to Texas to do a bit of a road trip and see the eclipse on the 8th (weather permitting🤞). Our last day is driving from College Station to Houston (hotel near IAH). The only vaguely interesting thing I can find to do on the way is to see the Sam Houston statue in Huntsville. Surely there must be something worth a visit...even a mini golf course! Any ideas greatly appreciated. Simon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beav1279 Posted August 13, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Our local PBS station has a show called Texas Daytripper. He goes to a town and spends a whole day - activities and food. One of the towns on the north side of Houston is Conroe. https://thedaytripper.com/daytrips/conroe-tx/ Check out some other areas too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWoodruff Posted August 16, 2023 #8 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Lake Conroe, The Woodlands, and Old Town Spring are all on the way from College Station to IAH. There’s a Margaritaville on Lake Conroe. The Woodlands has Dave n Busters, mini golf, bowling, Main Event, Market Street, a mall, the waterway, and restaurants. Old Town Spring is a bunch of little shops and restaurants and there are festivals there on certain weekends. The Montgomery county fair is in April (in Conroe) depending on what dates you plan on coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
