The Houston Rodeo is one of our favorite family traditions! Every year, we make it a point to soak in all the fun—from the BBQ Cookoff to the carnival rides and, of course, the concerts! If you’re planning to attend this year, I’ve got you covered with my top family-friendly tips to make the most out of your rodeo experience.
🤠 FAMILY WEDNESDAYS – Best Day to Bring the Kids!
📆 Mark your calendars: March 5th & 19th
Family Wednesdays are hands down the best days to visit if you’re bringing little ones or seniors! Here’s why:
✅ FREE admission for kids (12 & under) and seniors until noon.
✅ Discounted rides & games all day, making it a budget-friendly option for families.
If you’re looking for an affordable way to enjoy the rodeo, this is it!
🎡 CARNIVAL TICKETS – Buy Now & Save!
‼️ LAST CHANCE TO GRAB DISCOUNTED CARNIVAL HALF PACKS!
The pre-sale ends March 1st, and after that, tickets will only be available at the carnival for $1.25 each.
💡 Pro Tip: Most rides require 3-8 tickets per rider, so if you have multiple kids, the costs can add up fast. Buying in advance will save you some serious cash!
🍔 Food & Drinks – What Not to Miss
From turkey legs to deep-fried Oreos, the Houston Rodeo is a foodie’s dream! Be sure to try:
🥩 BBQ Cookoff Specials – Some of the best Texas BBQ you’ll ever have!
🍩 Funnel Cakes & Fried Delights – Because calories don’t count at the rodeo 😉
🍹 Adult Beverages – Margaritas, beer, and wine available throughout the grounds!
🚗 Parking & Transportation – Easiest Way to Get There
📍 Best Parking Option: Yellow Lot (9003 S. Main St.)
✅ Walkable to the grounds
✅ Free trolley service to ticket stands
🚘 Skip the hassle? Uber & Lyft drop-offs are quick and convenient!
🎶 Concerts & Entertainment – Don’t Miss Out!
Every night, the Houston Rodeo hosts top-tier concerts featuring some of the biggest names in music! Whether you’re into country, pop, or hip-hop, there’s a show for you. Check the schedule and grab tickets early before they sell out!
I’ll be opening up my Instagram stories to share even more insider tips from fellow rodeo-goers, so be sure to follow along! Plus, don’t miss the throwback clips at the end—because this rodeo tradition never gets old!
