Welcome to The Woodlands

From a quiet afternoon of kayaking to a fist-pumping night of live music, a hike through the woods to strolling The Waterway promenade, or a round of golf to a roundtable discussion—these are just a few of the ways you can spend a day in The Woodlands. A destination whose culture and offerings rival the nation’s largest and most vibrant cities, The Woodlands is a place designed for great experiences from beautiful nature to top-tier amenities, globally ranked venues, and hidden gems. This master-planned destination was founded in 1974 and aptly named The Woodlands for its development in and around 28,000 tree-filled acres. It is also conveniently located only 28 miles north of downtown Houston!
