For the second year in a row, the experience will be enhanced by the presence of the Houston Museum of Natural Science's Discovery Dome. George Observatory volunteers will be on-hand with their telescopes, and park performers will be present, as well.

There are many family activities and offerings at the Nights on Blue Bayou along Buffalo Bayou.

There will also be boat rides along Buffalo Bayou for those at least 4 years of age.
