From Paul Wall to Putt-Putt, Here's What's Happening at Discovery Green This Spring

From Paul Wall to Putt-Putt, Here's What's Happening at Discovery Green This Spring

ONCE THE FREEZE passes and a beautiful spring sets in, head out to soak up the sun and enjoy family time at Discovery Green, which just announced its new seasonal programming.

The Pixar Putt pop-up runs through March 20, with 18 interactive holes inspired by Disney and Pixar films like Toy Story, Monsters, Inc. and Coco, among others. Navigate obstacles to score a hole-in-one on Buzz Lightyear, and pose for pics with a tiny replica of the house from Up! For Valentine’s Day, the mini-golf experience has coupled up with The Grove restaurant: Those who have tickets for Pixar Putt on Feb. 11 or 12 gain access to a rooftop reception from 5-10pm, with a free dessert spread, fabulous views and a cash bar. (They can also receive 20 percent off their dinner bill downstairs.)

Outdoor fitness classes resume March 1, with offerings ranging from core yoga and pilates to HIIT. And the outdoor roller rink opens March 4; an opening-night party features music by DJ Mohawk Steve, and the first 50 in line can skate for free.

University of Houston Downtown debuts a new concert series on Thursday nights in April, with guests like Ren Patrick, Oliver Penn and Las Fenix. Paul Wall closes out the lineup on May 19!

Family movie nights take place on March 18, April 2, May 7 and June 11, featuring flicks like Encanto and the throwback A League of Their Own. And on Saturdays this spring, bring pre-sorted recyclables and compost materials for the City of Houston and Happy Earth Compost to pick up.

Other special one-offs: Bring the kiddos to Texan Toddler Tuesday, sponsored by the Rodeo and featuring storytime, a roping demonstration and a photo op with a rodeo clown. And grab a sneak peek of the Art Car lineup on April 7.

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.

1,500 Miles from its OG Property on Nantucket, Palm Beach’s White Elephant Beckons

The lobby of White Elephant Palm Beach

COVERED IN VERDANT vines and flanked by tall palm trees, the entrance to the White Elephant Palm Beach feels like passing into a stately home, rather than one of the island’s newest resorts. The building is 101 years old, and while the original footprint and façade remain, the interior has a decidedly updated, ultra-luxe beach vibe.
