5 of 18 amusement parks

Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.

Before you go

Quick answers for busy parents.

Height rules are per rideMeasure your child first. A wristband does not override a ride rule and the disappointment is worse in the queue.
Ask about rider swapMost parks let two adults take turns on a ride without queuing twice. It is rarely signposted.
Check the operating calendarMany parks run limited days outside summer, and some attractions close even when the gate is open.
Water and sun coverQueues are usually the least shaded part of the day.

Common questions about amusement parks in Houston

How many amusement parks are there in Houston?

We list 18 amusement parks within 78 miles of Houston, TX. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.

Which amusement parks in Houston publish their prices?

4 of the 18 here do, and each price was checked word for word against the venue's own page before we published it. The rest do not publish one, so their card says no price listed rather than carrying a guess.

Are any amusement parks in Houston free?

Yes. One place gets you in free: 7 Acre Wood.

How did Mini Navigators choose these amusement parks?

We list every one we have within 78 miles of the center of Houston. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.

Do adults have to pay?

It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. 4 of the 18 on this page publish a price at all, so call ahead about the adult rate before you rely on it.

Do I need to book ahead?

Buy tickets online. It is usually cheaper than the gate, and some parks cap entry on busy days. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.

What should I bring?

Sun cream, water, a change of clothes for the water rides and far more snacks than you think. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.

What else is there to do with kids in Houston?

Houston has 21 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Houston hub lists all of them.

Listings last checked 10/14/2026.
