Free Things to Do in Houston for Couples
Are you trying to plan the perfect date but don’t want to spend much money? Fortunately, there’s no need to spend much money to have a great time in Houston.
Here are a few free things to do as a couple in Houston without breaking the bank.
Become Art Curators for the Day
Spend the day together at one of Houston’s many free art museums. It’s the perfect way for art lovers to stretch out their budget while having some romantic time alone.
Drop a Pose and Smile
With all the beautiful street art and incredible murals found throughout Houston, why not take your camera and start snapping away pictures?
You may even want to get a few tips from a photographer beforehand to capture the perfect photos.
Enjoy a Free Boat Ride
Romantic boat dates do not need to be expensive. You and your partner can enjoy a free, 90-minute ride with Sam Houston Boat Tours and learn more about the history behind Houston.
Of course, if you want to make the boat ride even more special, why not get flowers delivered beforehand to add to the romance?
Catch the Sunrise/Sunset
One of the most perfect ways to begin or end the day is by catching the sunrise/sunset. Grab a blanket and your lover’s hand and snuggle up together while making a lasting memory—all without spending a single penny.
Calling All Booklovers
A fun activity to do together is strolling through old bookshelves looking for the perfect book gem.
Whether simply browsing through a bookstore or visiting the local library, this is a great way to escape the heat and strengthen your bond as a couple.
Watch the Bats
Waugh Drive Bridge is a spectacular place to catch bats flying out at night. Turn into a videographer and capture a close-up video of the bats to add to your priceless collection of memories shared together as a couple.
A Stroll through the Farmers’ Market
No need to buy anything to enjoy the farmer’s market. Enjoy some live music and sample some of the freshest local products, including fruits, vegetables, cold-cut meats, and cheeses.
Two great farmer’s markets to check out are the Houston Farmers’ Market and the Urban Harvest Farmers’ Market.
Take a Hike
Suppose you and your partner are more adventurous and athletically inclined. In that case, there are various hiking trails in Houston.
Some great trails can be found at Buffalo Bayou, Lone Star Hiking Trails, George Bush Trail, and East End Park.
You and your partner are sure to work up a sweat with these hiking trails. So ladies, if you plan on wearing makeup, ask your makeup artist for sweat-proof makeup tips.
Visit the Arboretum
For couples who are lovers of nature, you may enjoy a scenic walk throughout the botanical gardens at The Houston Arboretum. You’ll even catch some of Houston’s native birds thriving in their natural habitat.
