Yes, we do everything bigger in Texas and Houston is proof. With a little planning you can too when you are making your Valentine's Day plans for you and the special someone. Remember in big cities, big plans can mean big bucks, big crowds and big traffic. With these five ideas you can plan ahead and possibly avoid some of the bigness that is Houston and Valentine's Day. Make it special with these thoughtful, romantic spots.

Herman Park

The Mary Gibbs and Jesse Jones Reflection Pool located in Herman Park is a wonderful place to take a walk in the park holding hands and reflecting on your past, present and future with the one you love. History is celebrated at this park with a statue of Sam Houston and the lovely scenery of trees, park benches to sit and talk on. There are gazebo's and picnic tables, so that you can even pack a picnic lunch or dinner to enjoy. Herman Park is one of the most visited parks in Houston with 445 acres that include the Houston Zoo, Houston Garden Center, and the Museum of Natural Science.

Houston Zoo, ok, zoo? Maybe not you are thinking. But I think the zoo is very romantic and if you have a family and are worried about childcare and costs the zoo can't be beat. You and your spouse can walk through the tree lined walkways, while the whole family enjoys the antics of the wild animals. The giraffe and monkey section are among my favorites as well as the lions and tigers. You will enjoy the center section where you may either purchase your meal or pack a cooler and tuck it into the stroller for the children. The picnic area is clean and the other facilities are well situated. Picnic in the park area with the children and then take them over to the petting zoo and children's play area. Take a ride on the train or carousel and for about $5.00 a person or use your zoo membership you have not only an entertaining day, but you can show the whole family how much you love each other.

Takeaways
  • View a star lit night with your special someone and name a star for them.
  • Include the whole family in these special Valentine's plans.
  • Holding hands, walk in the park, see the stars and reflect on the future to celebrate V Day.
