Reviews
"Amazing place to visit, it’s very first most of the plants due to the current weather was dried or some were dead but still we enjoyed to visit this place. I could find plenty of attractions for me for my social media hobbies. Lot of places on the roof because of artificial grass and and nice sitting places for everyone. Hopefully we will visit again when the lawn will be full of colors. This place is recommendable for everyone."
"Skylawn is the five acre urban rooftop park on top of POST Houston. It has an organic farm a skyline promenade, event space, a stage, a game space, café, juice and ice cream vendors and much more. The 360° panoramic views of Houston Downtown's skyline are breathtaking, especially at sunset. The vibrant greenery and comfy seating make it perfect for relaxation or socializing. The rooftop garden is a hidden oasis, providing a serene escape from the urban hustle. During Holiday season, the Skylawn adorns with its festive look which you can enjoy with an admission fee. Whether you're here for an event or just unwinding, POST Houston Skylawn is a must-visit destination."
"Only complaint is that its quite expensive for the quality! Otherwise, it's a nice stroll and there's a lot of opportunities for pictures. I'm not sure its worth the $15 a person however. Especially when you have a big family. It just adds up quickly, maybe $5-10 a person would be more reasonable."
"Really great view and really great food options! Parking is free for the first hour, but I'd bank on staying longer than that. It's too pretty to rush. Five dollars an hour after the first hour during weekdays. The food is inside the building. From there, follow the spiral staircase to the roof and the garden and the beautiful view!"
