Release of Discovery Green’s Spring 2020 Programming Schedule!

Discovery Green is known as a place for health and wellness, music and art, but it’s also an excellent place for a first date.

A few fun facts about some of the migratory birds featured in Here and Now: When birds migrate, they use the sun, the moon and other celestial bodies, as well as the earth’s magnetic field, to navigate. Some migratory birds have magnetic minerals like iron in their beaks that help them navigate, or a particular protein in their eyes that help them “see” magnetic fields.

Discovery Green, the 12-acre park in the heart of downtown Houston, brings back Bank of America Screen on the Green during its Winter 2019–2020 Season. Part of the Xfinity Entertainment Series, these popular screenings present family-friendly movies with a scenic view of the downtown Houston skyline.

Season highlights include The ICE powered by Green Mountain Energy®, Frostival, a new public art installation and more

The marquee art exhibition at Discovery Green this fall is moonGARDEN, designed to dazzle with oversized, glowing orbs that will transform the park into a magical dreamscape. This work creates such a fascinating and dynamic world of light and color that many may be surprised that at its core, it’s based on the oldest and most universal form of storytelling on the planet: shadow play. Designed by Montreal art collective Lucion, moonGARDEN will be on display in the park from Sept. 29 through Oct. 7, where the artists hope that it inspires others to dream and find their own creativity.
