1. Host a Backyard Water Day
Turn your backyard into a water park! Set up sprinklers, water balloons, and slip ‘n’ slides for a day of splash-tastic fun. Invite neighbors for a mini block party. Or check out one of the local Splash Pads - Find one close to you in our Splash Pad Guide.
2. Plan a Picnic in the Park
Pack a basket with your favorite snacks and head to one of the many beautiful parks in our area. Whether it’s a quiet afternoon at Northshore Park or an active day at Rob Fleming Park, a picnic is a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Check out our Nature Guide and Parks Guides!
3. Visit a Local Farmers Market
August is peak season for fresh produce. Take the family to the Montgomery Farmers Market or The Woodlands Farmer’s Market to pick up some fresh fruits and veggies. It’s also a wonderful way to support local farmers and artisans. We have some upcoming ones listed in our Events Calendar HERE.
4. Take a Day Trip to Lake Conroe
Spend a day on the water with a trip to Lake Conroe. Rent a boat, try your hand at fishing, or simply enjoy a swim. The lake offers endless opportunities for fun and relaxation.
5. Explore Local Nature Trails
Before the weather cools down, explore the lush nature trails in The Woodlands. The George Mitchell Nature Preserve offers a serene escape into nature, perfect for a morning hike or bike ride. Check out our Nature Guide and Parks Guides!
6. Have a Family Movie Marathon
When the Texas heat becomes too much, retreat indoors for a family movie marathon. Pick a theme (like classic Disney or superhero flicks), make some popcorn, and enjoy a cozy day together. Check out some of the low cost and FREE movie options on our event calendar here!
7. Create Summer Scrapbooks
Gather photos, ticket stubs, and other mementos from your summer adventures and create a scrapbook with your kids. It’s a creative way to preserve those summer memories and a fun indoor activity.
8. Plan a Backyard Campout
Pitch a tent in the backyard for a night under the stars. Roast marshmallows, tell ghost stories, and enjoy a night away from screens. It’s camping made easy!
