There’s no way around it—Sugar Land is one of the most beautiful, diverse cities in the Houston metro area and we have all the attractions and global dining to prove it! You better know that there’s also no better place to get your sugar fix than Sugar Land!
Here are some spots that focus on ice cream and sweet treats as their main attraction. Consider the following:
- Kilwins
- Paletas Morelia
- Baloch Grill and Desserts
- Kwality Ice Cream
- Maggie Moo’s Ice Cream and Treatery
- Somi Somi (Korean frozen treats)
- Swirll Frozen Yogurt
The ice cream options alone is a great reason to plan a trip here and could occupy close to a month, but we also have some other ideas to sweeten the prospect.
- For something downright cold, how about ice skating? Sugar Land Ice and Sports Center. Regardless of your skill on the ice, you can slip, slide and skate….and stay delightfully cool.
- Visit one of Sugar Land’s 27 parks! Sugar Land Memorial Park is great for picnics, biking, and running.
- Cullinan Park is a popular birding destination. The park also possesses hiking trails and an observation tower where you can catch a beautiful sunset.
Bring your camera and catch a sunset at the observation tower at Cullinan Park.
- Shop till you drop: Sugar Land Town Square is hard to beat for retail therapy.You’ll be able to get your 10,000 steps in while perusing the 223,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and if you want to explore a bit further, check out the entertainment choices, and if you wear yourself out, book a room at Houston Marriott Sugar Land and relax! Shop even more! First Colony Mall has over 150 stores and scads of dining options, and the AMC First Colony 24 cinema. Nothing says cool like an air-conditioned shopping experience. Be sure to pick up something to take back home to your neighbors!
The Dig Pit at the Houston museum of Natural Science is Sugar Land is a dino-lovers dream!
- Kids of all ages enjoy exploring at Fort Bend Children’s Discovery Center. Special attractions include Amazingly Immature, a hands-on experience to embrace how your inner genius can teach you about science, engineering, math and literacy. Your kids will also love How Does It Work? to discover how the natural world works! And not too far down the road, young and old alike will learn something new at The Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land. This is a satellite of Houston’s science museum (which takes DAYS to see), so this one is something you can do in a day (two floors of incredible exhibits), all while being able to keep an eye on the kids.
- Check out their permanent exhibitions like the Hall of Paleontology which highlights several dinosaurs and the Hall of Technology which gives curious minds a peek into these interconnected areas: chemistry, energy, geology and salt. Don’t miss the Dig Pit, where you can pretend to be a paleontologist and search for dinosaur bones. The museum used to be a part of a central prison—how creepy/cool is that?!
Create something amazing. Do you like to paint, do ceramics or try new things? Sugar Land has more options than many larger cities. Try Smashed Clay + Studio for couples classes and colored clay creations, Board and Brush for wooden signs and home décor, Painting With a Twist for water and oil colors, and Fire It Up pottery studio.
- Sing Along Karaoke lets you exercise your vocal cords and impress friends and family with your singing abilities!
- Break out! Escape Again Rooms is a real-life adventure game. Teams work together to find clues to solve a series of puzzles using elements found in the room. Challenge your ingenuity, choose your theme (The Wizard or The Outlaw) and then figure out how to get out!
