Fuzzy season is almost here, and winter break is right around the corner. It’s time to get into cute, warm sweaters and knee-high boots to go out and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year!
To save Coogs some time in looking, here’s a list of places you can check out to make the most of your winter break.
The Houston Zoo Lights
As a native Houstonian or a person living in Houston, it is a must to visit the magical zoo lights. It is a mesmerizing experience.
The prices range from $22.95 to $33.70. Members of the military, first responders, firefighters, police and EMT and educators qualify for a 10% discount on up to five tickets.
The display of the lights will continue until Jan. 5, 2025. It is recommended to buy tickets as soon as possible, as they tend to sell out very quickly.
Students can also find the event calendar on the zoo website.
Magical Winter Lights
Magical Winter Lights 2024 at the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds is another mesmerizing and unique lighting event to visit during the holiday season.
A showcase display of twinkling lights, festive decorations and other attractions make it a perfect holiday activity.
Visitors can find a display of over 60 lanterns along with some tasty treats and carnival rides as well.
Tickets can range anywhere from $27 to $96 if bought online and $32 to $108 if purchased at the box office.
Houston Ballett The Nutcracker
For all the theater enthusiasts, Houston’s holiday tradition is incomplete without Stanton Welch’s The Nutcracker.
The Nutcracker features hundreds of characters, elaborate sets and stunning details to captivate audiences and make the experience worthwhile.
It is the perfect activity for dates, solo dates or friends getting together.
It is recommended to buy the tickets as soon as possible.
City Place Giant Gingerbread Village
This free holiday attraction brings back childhood memories as visitors walk down the gumdrop, lollipop and candy-cane path guarded by two giant gingerbread men.
The event debuted three years ago and features cookie trees, a 16-foot-high gingerbread house and a 12-foot windmill.
Students can start visiting this fun-filled event from the last week of November until the first week of January–a good way to either end off the fall semester or kick off the Spring one!
