5th Birthday!
Get Ready...

Illyas is turning 5...

Hermann Park Playground.
THE PARTY
Things to do?
The Commons at Hermann Park is a massive, newly opened play garden designed for ultimate exploration. It features custom-designed, immersive play zones where the kids can "travel" to outer space, swing through the animal kingdom, and cool off in the water!
?? If you and/or your child would like to participate in the splash pad or party game with water balloons,
please bring appropriate clothes and towels.
Space Adventure ?‍?
An epic 45-foot rocket ship and space capsule with slides of all sizes—including safe, ground-level options perfectly sized for the 5-year-old crew.
The Thicket & Gorilla Forest ?
Beautiful, animal-themed climbing zones featuring a giant friendly gorilla, dragonfly structures, and the cozy Toad Hollow hideout.
Splash Cove & The Bayou ?
Interactive water play features where kids can build dams and splash through water jets (bring a swimsuit or a change of clothes!). Change rooms available on site.
The Lott Family Carousel ?
A classic, beautiful carousel right in the middle of the park for a fun group spin.
Where we'll be...??
We have reserved the Cullen Pavilion for the party.
