SPRING HAS BLOSSOMED INTO A POPULAR DESTINATION
Today, the name “Spring” covers a large area of northern Harris County, as well as a smaller area of southern Montgomery County. However, the original town of Spring is a relatively small area, now known as Old Town Spring—which has a popular shopping area within the city. The oil boom in Houston helped neighboring towns like Spring to grow, and the city grew in size and popularity. Several popular events and festivals, such as the annual Texas Crawfish & Music Festival, take place in Old Town Spring. Visitors can also discover the Old Town Spring Museum and seek out the supernatural on a ghost tours in the area when staying at a Spring, TX hotel.
There are many recreational opportunities in Spring. The Spring Creek Greenway has 40 miles of green space and visitors can enjoy hiking and biking trails, fishing, canoeing and kayaking. Meyer Park has a variety of sports fields, exercise stations, trails, a fishing lake, playgrounds and a dog park. For more unique furry friends, visitors can head to TGR Exotic Wildlife Park—which features more than 100 animals from over 25 species. It also offers guided walking tours, a “Look Inside” tour to see how the animals are cared for, summer zoo camps and more. Spring is also home to the Mercer Arboretum and Botanic Gardens where you’ll find an endangered species garden, a canoe launch, a tea house and a visitor center.
For the indoors types, the 32,000-square-foot Barbara Bush Branch Library at Cypress Creek offers more than 190,000 books and materials, having undergone upgrades and expansions since it opened in 1976 as the Cypress Creek Library. Now named in honor of the former First Lady—a champion of reading and literacy—the library has hosted Mrs. Bush several times as she enjoys reading to children.
