On the first Monday of every month, Admission is free for everyone! Valid February through November.

Our first glimpse was through this ironwork gate at the end of a workers’ alley. Yes, I’ll go pretty much anywhere. You can see the tip of a ladder photobombing the shot. No lock on the gate, but we didn’t sneak in, of course. We might be lurkers, but we aren’t dishonest!

Close-up.

There are many walkways and plazas, and a plethora of arches and gateways.

I think I have a closer shot of that last one coming up in another week’s post.

And some doors were tucked away. In the immortal words of Elmer Fudd: Vewy mystewious.

And did you know about this? I didnt, and I’m utterly charmed:

Kingwood Center Gardens is a proud member of Museums for All! Through this program, those receiving food assistance (SNAP benefits) can gain free or reduced admission to more than 500 museums throughout the United States simply by presenting their EBT card.

Present your EBT card and Photo ID to receive admission for up to 5 people from the same household at the reduced price of $1 per person.
