The Lake Houston community is seeing a wave of family‑friendly entertainment updates. On Oct. 21, The Back Nine officially opened its doors in Kingwood, offering 24‑hour indoor golf for players of all skill levels. The venue, located at 2815 W. Lake Houston Parkway, Ste. 100, provides both public and private bays, giving residents a convenient option for year‑round practice and recreation.
New Indoor Slides and Air Courts in Humble
Just weeks later, on Nov. 3, Slick City Action Park celebrated the grand opening of its new location in the Deerbrook Marketplace, Humble. The family‑oriented center features indoor slides and air courts, creating a safe, climate‑controlled environment for children and adults alike. The park’s official Facebook page confirmed the opening, highlighting its commitment to providing a fun, active alternative for local families.
Score Entertainment Plans Fall Launch
Score Entertainment announced a projected fall opening for its upcoming venue at Deerbrook Mall, also in Humble. According to a Sept. 17 Facebook post, the new complex will house laser tag, go‑karts, bowling, axe‑throwing, mini‑golf, and more. In addition, the site will include a restaurant and two full‑service bars, broadening dining options for visitors. The address listed for the future site is 20131 Hwy. 59, Humble.
Old MacDonald’s Farm to Close Permanently
In contrast to the new openings, Old MacDonald’s Farm announced it will permanently close at the end of November. The farm, located at 3203 FM 1960 E., Humble, has been a popular destination for families seeking hands‑on interaction with animals such as sheep, goats, llamas, pigs, tortoises, and cows. A Nov. 9 post on the farm’s Facebook page confirmed the closure, noting the end of its seasonal operations.
What This Means for Lake Houston Residents
These developments reflect a growing focus on indoor, weather‑proof entertainment options in the Lake Houston area, catering to families looking for safe, year‑round activities. While the openings add new jobs and leisure choices, the closure of Old MacDonald’s Farm marks the loss of a beloved agricultural experience. Community members are encouraged to support the new venues and share feedback with owners to ensure these spaces meet local expectations.
