You don’t need to fly all the way to Germany to experience Oktoberfest. Instead, put on your best lederhosen and head over to Town Green Park, just minutes from the Resort, for The Woodlands Rotary Club’s 2nd Annual Oktoberfest … complete with an opening keg tapping ceremony!

There are plenty of ways to get to The Woodlands Town Center. You can walk, hop aboard our complimentary shuttle or rent a bicycle for just $5 a day.
Just follow the winding, paved trail all the way to Town Center. Don’t worry … Town Center is less than 2.5 miles from our resort. Stop by and visit with our friendly Concierge who can provide you with an easy-to-follow map.
Along the way, you might encounter a community playground among the trees (there are 116 forested parks in The Woodlands), basketball courts or a skate park. There are lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area too.
If you’re heading to Waterway Square for tonight’s Waterway Nights, there is a face painter and musical duo from 6 - 8 p.m. Next Friday’s entertainment offerings include a mime, clown balloonist and Clint the Snake Man!
Also, mark your calendars for Oktoberfest slated for September 24 - 26. We’ll provide all the wonderful details in a separate post so stay tuned!
Award-Winning Gelato

The gelato counter at Hubbell & Hudson is one stop that shouldn’t be missed when exploring The Woodlands Town Center. It is award-winning gelato after all.
The colors and flavors of the hand-crafted gelato are so appealing it’s hard to decide which one to choose.
On a recent visit, I was thankful that the young man behind the counter was more than happy to keep scooping up individual samples for me. I finally decided on a scoop of creamy vanilla (which tastes like cake) and crema baci which hit my taste buds just like the hazelnut spread, Nutella.
There is also raspberry, mango, pistachio, chocolate, mint chocolate chip and several other tempting flavors.
Just step right up to the counter and see if you can resist.

All our brides and grooms are special and each couple comes with a different story to tell ... How they met. How he proposed.
Recently, our resort was lucky enough to take part in the wedding day of retired Marine Sgt. Eddie Wright and Cody Fife.
Just after a week of proposing to Cody, the couple was married. They have an amazing story to tell. Read all about it in The Conroe Courier.
The Breakfast of Champions

Besides all the fun, poolside activities, our daily Grand Breakfast buffet in The Woodlands Dining Room is a top attraction for adults and kids alike.
It is called the Grand Breakfast for a reason, and it’s hard to decide where to start.
The exhibition kitchen serves up made-to-order omelets. Go all out and order your omelet with everything!
You can also order fluffy pancakes and Belgian waffles. I’m not sure what the secret is, but the waffles come out perfect every time. I have never been able to replicate those Woodlands Dining Room waffles at home. Normally, the batter oozes out of the waffle iron and onto the counter. Or worse, my waffle sticks to the iron like crazy glue.
But I digress. The warm syrup for the pancakes and waffles is absolutely amazing. Personally, I think we should bottle it and sell the stuff.
The Grand Breakfast doesn’t end there. There is a hot station with bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy (the best!), scrambled eggs, and breakfast potatoes. A cold display features a variety of yogurts, cereals, granola, and fresh fruits. Plus, there are freshmade pastries such as croissants and danishes to choose from. Or, toast your own bagel, English muffin and sliced bread.
Let the grazing begin!
Monday – Friday 6 – 10:30 a.m.
Saturday – Sunday 6:30 – 10:30 a.m.
And did you know? It's open to the public! Call 281-364-6232 for reservations.
