Homeschool Day is coming up at Galveston’s Pleasure Pier, Houston’s Downtown Aquarium, George Ranch Historical Park, Moody Gardens, and Space Center Houston!

It’s a blessing to be able to leave the house and have fun with other local homeschoolers. And you don’t have to be part of an organized homeschool group or co-op to take advantage of many of the opportunities available throughout the Greater Houston area. Take these upcoming Homeschool Days, for example. All you do is register and show up! If you need a field trip for your little one, with a built-in chance to meet other local homeschooling families, check out the following:

Fall fun arrives at north Houston’s City Place in October, where an exciting lineup of family-friendly activities will take place on and around the community’s central Plaza at 1250 Lake Plaza Drive – Spring, TX 77389.

Water Lantern Festival makes its sparkling seasonal return to City Place on October 5 from 4:30-8:30 pm. A community favorite, the event showcases food trucks, live music and the opportunity for attendees to design and send off their own LED candle-lit lanterns into picturesque City Place Park’s main pond, where they will float among thousands of others as the sun sets. While free to watch, tickets to participate are available via https://www.waterlanternfestival.com/houston.php.
