• Plan ahead; check the hours of operation and amount of time you’ll have to spend at the park
• Glance at the weather forecast and dress appropriately; Houston can be quite warm
• Prioritize the things you want to see most—there are more than a day’s worth of activities at the park
• Bring cash for the admissions fees, since they are small. Parking is free and credit cards are accepted in the museum store
• Carpool. If five families or 15 employees are going to spend the day at the park, please don’t take 10 different cars. It’s easier on the environment, your fuel bill and conversation.
• Use sunscreen and drink plenty of water if you’re out at the park during summer
• Wear comfortable shoes
• Become a member!

Many people see the monument, museum and battleship in the morning, take a picnic lunch and enjoy the park or nearby golf course in the afternoon, and top off the day with dinner at the Monument Inn.
