B52 is a great brewery. Wonderful space under the trees. They are in process of building new taproom. Fire pit going during cold months is spectacular. Lots of hazy new release beers with awesome references to old movies. Wheeze the Juice was amazing and so was Pocket Tots ( yes there are tater tots in the brewing process and it is good). Love the food trucks -- there are a variety of different ones. Very kid and dog friendly with games and lots of wide open space.

My husband and I have been to several plays at the Crighton and we always enjoy it. The theatre itself is like stepping back in time. The smaller size makes for a more intimate feel and in my eyes, enhances the overall experience. We're going to see Ricky Skaggs there next month. This will be our first concert at the Crighton and we're truly looking forward to it.

We went to see "Phantom" and it was enough that we are now season ticket holders. They provide a wonderful venue and production which makes for a very nice evening out. The actors are great! We saw "The 39 Steps" last night, can't wait for the next show!!
4. Southern Star Brewing

Reviewed By Eugene K - Rockford, Illinois
Stopped here with a friend before leaving for home. In the brewpub, for $10, you get a souvenir pint glass and three tickets for beers. It is a good deal.
The service was good and always willing to talk about the beer or other topic. The beer was cold and tasty also; the blood belt pale ale was really good.
The brewpub also sells food and souvenirs for purchase. The atmosphere inside Southern Star was very relaxed and fun. Willing to come back to Southern Star for another beer.

Copperhead Brewery is relatively new (about 1 year) and unknown by many in the North Houston area. I had tried a couple of their beers in local restaurants but wanted to check out the brewery for myself.
Copperhead is located a few blocks north of 105 on N. Frazier. The address is N. Frazier but in reality the business front is about......just turn right past the taproom sign and you can't miss it.
Got there about 4pm and was welcomed by Mark - owner. Very nice bar with stools and a large room with tables and chairs. Mark tells me it gets quite busy on Fri/Sat nights.
Normally, I like more bold beers (porters/stouts). Mark told me they had a stout in the tank and it would be ready in a few days, so he recommended their Red Ale. He provided a sample and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor, which too me was like a "light" porter, smooth, slight hop taste upfront, and with a very subtle coffee finish. While we talked, Mark gave me a taste of most of their beers. The Striker IPA was my favorite behind the Red Ale.
Mark rhen asked if we wanted to tour the brewery - "oh yes!" Very impressive facility!
We ended up at the finish tank (32-34f). Mark kindly asked if I wanted a taste and it was great! I forget the name but I'll be back.
Marc tells me his son (did not get name) is the brew master. I saw him and he's quite young, but tells me he worked a few years at St Arnold's and obviously has had some great mentoring.
They do not serve food although many nights pizza is ordered-in or one patron brings in BBQ from his restaurant on occasion.
Copperhead is being marketed in HEB and Specs stores locally, and he tells me they have begin distribution in Austin.
Stop by and check this out - you'll be glad you did - friendly place and good downhome craft beer!

we are regular visitors and this place is excellent to pack a picnic and spend a whole day playing. they usually have some special events going on during the spring/ fall breaks for children. If they are making brownies buy a piece. I don't like brownies and even i couldn't get enough of those. delicious!!

Located in downtown Conroe in a 100 year old building, this gallery is a must see. Great artwork, photography, sculptures and jewelry. It has it all!! When you walk in, it's very peaceful and there are comfortable benches to sit on and appreciated the artwork. In the back is a serene courtyard, to sit and enjoy the weather and see some of the sculptures out there. A hidden jewel in the middle of Conroe.
8. W. G. Jones State Forest

Just north of Houston lie the cities of Conroe and The Woodlands. These two suburbs are set apart from much of the rest of the metro area due to their natural attractions, some of which are less known than others. One that I discovered for the first time a couple days ago is W.G. Jones State Forest.
This small state forest is right next to one of the main roads in the area and even people who live in the surrounding cities are likely not to know it is there. The reason is because it is a simple grove of tall, mature trees and, from the main road, looks smaller than it is and certainly not something one would associate with a state- sponsored entity. A quick check of the facts shows that this state forest covers about 1700 acres, which is not huge by any means but is still large enough for a nature getaway for those of us who live in the large metropolitan area known as Houston.
I visited W.G. Jones State Forest to take a morning hike with a group of hiking enthusiasts. We criss- crossed over the many trails and ended up hiking about 9 total miles once we were through. The forest features tall trees, grasses, and a pond where you can fish if you like, but you must release the fish per state rules. The trails are unpaved, consisting of dirt in some areas and gravel in others. You do need to be careful as you walk on the trails. There might be hidden branches and you could slip- something which actually did happen to one of the members of my group. The south section of the forest is the largest part, but there is actually another section, across the main road, to the north. If you have time, I recommend taking a short hike there also.
One of the many nice things about this urban forest is its lack of human encroachment. Yes, you can hear the traffic on the surrounding roads and you can see some of the houses in the residential areas that border the forest, but within the forest itself, you feel like you have been transported to a nature preserve far away. I like that they didn’t pave the trails- it helps add to the natural appeal. And I should also point out that there are no bathroom facilities. This is somewhat of an inconvenience, but it also helps maintain the natural look and feel. There are a few places to sit, but other than that, the area remains in a natural state.
Houston is a large, crowded metropolitan area but there are places to get away from the man- made buildings and roads and many of them are closer than you think. W.G. Jones State Forest is one such place. It’s not a huge forested area and it doesn’t have any distinctive attractions, but it’s still a nice little place for a nature escape, just a half hour north of Houston.
9. Lone Star Monument and Historic Flag Park

You need to be going North on Hwy 45 to access this attraction next to the Montgomery County Library. Twelve flags and their description plaques are displayed that had a large part in making Texas a Country and a State, mainly a Country. Flags of other army and fighters from other states such as Alabama Red Rovers and the New Orleans Greys helped Texas fight against Mexico and their flags fly here. Along with "Come and Take It" and others considered to be the final Texas Flag designs. It's worth a stop if you like Texas history. We enjoyed the stop as we toured East Texas. Charles Bellinger Stewart of Montgomery TX is known for designing the Lone Star Flag which flies today!
10. Moorhead's Blueberry Farm

Reviewed By Traveling007Texan - Houston, TX
Moorhead's Blueberry Farm, located off FM 1314 between Kingwood & Conroe is the local place to go to pick your own blueberries. During the month of June, it is prime blueberry picking season. Their farm is approximately 20 acres with an equal number of blueberry varieties. This means that different blueberry bushes ripen at different times throughout the picking season. They use no chemicals on the plants so you can "sample" as many blueberries as you wish while picking. The cost is $2.50 per pound and it takes approximately one hour to fill up most of the five pound/one gallon bucket provided.
I've been visiting Moorhead's for approximately 15 years and the prices have only increased slightly but the visitors have increased significantly. I would recommend going as early as possible (7:00 or 7:30 am) to avoid the crowds and the heat.
My recommendation would be to go to the far reaches of the orchard and squeeze into tight bushes that others may not want to bother wish. When you find a good tree, stay there and pick it clean. Fresh blueberries taste great! Spread them out on a cookie sheet to freeze and then store in quart freezer baggies is a way to have them last for several months.
