YOUR WEEKEND GUIDE

If you’re looking for ways to make the most of your weekend in Tomball, I’ve gathered a few ideas that are perfect for family time. Think of this as your friendly reminder that the best memories often come from the little adventures close to home.

Saturday Morning at the Farmers Market

There’s something about walking the market with a coffee in hand while the kids pick out a snack from a local vendor. You’ll bump into neighbors, discover something new, and maybe even come home with flowers for the table.

An Afternoon at Burroughs Park

Spread out a blanket, let the kids run wild on the playground, or try your luck fishing in the pond. It’s one of those spots where you can spend hours without even realizing it.

Railroad Depot Plaza Stop

If your little ones love trains, this is a must. It’s not just history—it’s a fun place for photos, exploring, and sometimes catching live music.

Sweet Treat Stop

End the day with a family tradition: ice cream or frozen yogurt. Nonnie’s Soda Fountain downtown always feels like stepping into the past.

Cozy Sunday Idea

Not every adventure has to be outdoors. Pick up a board game from a local antique shop, make popcorn, and let the laughter roll at home.

Enjoy your weekend, Tomball. Make it count, make it sweet, and most of all—make it together. ❤️
