One of my favorite places to visit. I remember all of my first and second grade field trips here to watch the plays and programs. I loved it, great experience overall, and it even inspired me to perform in some of them! Cant wait to go back at some point.

This event was really nice. There wasnt a cloud in the sky. It was a little chilly outside but it didnt keep approximately 3 plus thousands of people away. The sound for each group was amazing

Amazing place to come and hang out with your friends and family. They have movie nights, orchestra performances, and other showings. There is a online website that has a schedule of the upcoming events. There are chairs close to the screen, but it can be uncomfortable to sit there depending on how hot and humid it is. There is a lawn on top of a hill where you can sit and enjoy the show. Be sure to bring a blanket and some chairs to sit on the lawn. There is a nearby concession stand Incase you are hungry or thirsty.

Always some fun. Always so festive. Best way to connect with the community.

We love catching free shows at Miller Outdoor Theater!

Amazing date night and family atmosphere. I love packing my picnic and sitting on the hill to watch a free play with my kiddos.

This place offers more than just an outdoor concert area. We were at the Japanese Festival by the Herman Park and wanted to scape from the crowd. We just walked about 100 ft and there were families, kids, dogs enjoying the great weather on a Sunday. Our kids had the chance to chill play run or just simply watch the kites in the sky. Love this place.

Its an outdoor theatre with live performances. I went when there was a Dr Seuss show and it was a very nice experience. It was summer when I went, and watching it under Stars was very beautiful.. be sure to grab a blanket abs maybe chairs if you cant squat on the floor.

I loved this place growing up ! This was the first place I saw An opera Madam Butterfly I was just a child but remember it vividly 41 years later . I saw many other great productions here.

One of my favorite things about Houston. You get to see really talented performers at no cost to you. You can even bring your own food and beverages (no glass). Its a great way to spend a night out and I would recommend everyone try it.

Its off limits now due to COVID-19 but a good place to go and relax.

A super cool place to see awesome performances. You gotta have your picnic mat. Chairs, umbrella, or a tent are not allowed.

Love going here. A great place to just hang out and enjoy the arts. Thank You!!!

Love the show and outdoors. Great for families. Beautiful parkJust wish they had healthier selections of food. Very limited and all fried fatty foods. Not one healthy choice. Next time Ill pack my own dinner.

Great venue. Pro staff.

Miller has wonderful events! They are very well organized, clean, and offer snacks. I love that its mostly free (depending where you sit) and that it offers great performances!

A great place for family and friends! Attended a Motown event memorial weekend and loved it. So much space with the theatre having a great sound system. The theatre also has a concession stand that had the cheapest prices i’ve seen! The bathrooms are also clean & blaster with AC.So bring your blanket and snacks and get ready for a great time.

It was excellent. The park was so nice to walk around

We enjoy coming here any time of the year school day with the kiddos.

Great place to have family picnics and do some out door activities like kite flying and ignition your rc vechiles.Place is kept clean but public restrooms need allot of attention, no offense but government should provide sheller to homeless people as they have started living on benches in surroundings and for some it causes security concerns.

A beautiful amphitheatre with a large seating area and a very well kept grass area that you can sit and view the shows. It is on top of a large hill, but it is easily accessible and has wheelchair access

This place rocks. Free shows on the lawn year around. Family friendly, and a chill good time. Public bathrooms and easy to get to with the metro rail. One of the few great free events that Houston has to offer.And its even fun to play on the hill during the day.

We sat in the grass on the hill and enjoyed the Dr. Seuss program.. They put on a good show and interacted with the audience during the program

Really great place to have lived performance for FREE. We enjoyed every time we visited.

Free event for various shows /movies. Outdoors so plan accordingly. Parking can be an issue but it’s free. Great for a picnic with entertainment.

Miller outdoor is a Houston treasure. Weve seen a lot of great shows there, for only the price of gas! We used to go all of the time before we had young kids (8pm shows can present a problem if you cant catch a daytime performance), but now that my kids are a bit older Im hoping to go more often again.They have covered seating, with tickets available for pickup. Seats that arent claimed at the start of the show are released to anybody to didnt grab a ticket.As long as the weather is nice, we prefer to picnic on the hill. It has a great view of the stage and makes for good family time to share food and let the kids roll around a bit when they get antsy.Weve seen so many great shows at the theater, every season there is something wonderful to watch.

This is a great place to hang out with the kids. They often have different cultural events hosted that can be attended for free. Plus you can bring your own picnic basket and make it a nice family & friends event.

I always enjoy my time here. A great place to visit for the free concerts.

No words can describe how amazing this place is. The fact that every show is free is awesome !!! I recently celebrated it 95 years with the Houston ballet performing Don Quixote !! It was absolutely beautiful !!!!!

Always pleasant to go to Miller Outdoors. The kite festival was beautiful.

We love going to Miller Outdoor Theatre, especially when it is not too hot outside. They have really great shows, which are all free and culturally diverse. It is such a jewel in the heart of the city along with Hermann Park, that lets you escape the hustle so easily.

I enjoyed the event. I am an avid jazz fan and I love Kirk. The only thing was one of the speakers was giving off feedback every now and then. I enjoyed the diversity in artists.I also ordered the funnel fries and they were good. It took a bit to get them though, but it seems ther other people received their food in a good amount of time.

I brought some out of town guests to see some of the best things to experience in Houston knew they had to experience a musical at Miller Outdoor Theatre. They were impressed by concept of lawn seating on a hill. They loved that you could bring in your own picnic and that it was a dog friendly place. The sound quality was great! The actors and stage crew did an amazing job! Overall my friends were very impressed by the experiences had to offer, and the Miller Outdoor Theatre was one of their favorite stops.

This place always gives exceptional opportunity and ideas for amazing evening on d budget with free performances almost all year around that never disappoint!This time I decided to post some pics of the concession stand menu (I know everyone is always curious about the menu)Btw if you just need water or dipping dots - there s a separate window where you can make your purchase without standing in line - nice improvement :)

We went to see Wonder Woman and had a choice of seats under the roof. Although it was rather warm, we were able to feel some a/c coming from the stage.Sound system is really good. Picture quality really good. On-site staff and security nice and a fairly good choice of concessions. Parking was excellent. No better way to spend a weeknight than at my favorite outdoor theatre. Miller is a staple!

It was fabulous and the staff really care about the event. Food is a little pricey but I dont think the two are connected. Cant wait for the next one!

This Theater is one of the best places in Houston. Our family has attended plays, concerts, movies etc here for years. Its always a good experience with lots of great memories! If we ever move away this is the one place Id truly miss. Wonderful people who have kept it free so everyone can experience truly great performances!

We had an awesome time. Classic albums live tribute band did the who. They rocked as usual. Thank you for a fantastic time.

Such a wonderful evening enjoying the breezy weather and jazz music live ️

Saw Incredible India plus some Columbian dancing while sitting on a blanket. Show was great, but the park is very dark at night, use a flashlight to find your way out.

First time I have been here and very impressed. I will definitely be coming back. Several areas to sit. If you buy tickets.BUT DONT FRET! 5 minutes before the performances they announce open seating to public who did not buy tickets. Also allows those who did buy tickets to move up if they want to. There is food, drinks, desert, and alcoholic beverages availble at the concession stand. There are spetate restrooms for men and women. If ypu want to enjoy an even and dont have money the hill has free seating. Bring ypur blanket or chair and you can watch and listen from a bit further back.

Huge fan of this wonderful arts institution since the 1970s. I remember seeing my first opera here. Beautiful outdoor space and not a bad view anywhere...even on the hill (lawn). Take in a free performance and bring your chair, blanket, a picnic basket, and your favorite beverage. No brainer for an unforgettable date night.

I was pleasantly surprised. It wasnt super crowded and parking isnt bad if you get there early.

Great Theater! Great concert! Belinda Davis was magical!

Best outdoor free fun family fabulous festive place to hang out with friends and family

Love this park since I waz a child

Motown dancing in the streets. Great show every year, and you cant beat the price

A spectacular Independence day fireworks show along with the music of the Houston Grand Symphony and the powerful vocals of Houstons own Chelsea Cymone!! A night like no other!!!

Year spread quality entertaining events.. you can sit on the lawn and enjoy them at no cost. Perfect for music and art lovers. Very crowdy during July 4th event usually because of the fireworks..

Wonderful opportunity to hear and see quality performing arts. Sit under the awning with big ceiling fans or up on the top of the hill for a great breeze. The opera we saw was translated on a screen above the stage, so it was perfect for an intro to opera! The hill is divided for blankets (on the left) and lawn chairs (on the left), so everyone can see. The Phillip Glass orchestral production of his South America-inspired symphony has become a new favorite after hearing it on the hill!

A good place to go on a friday night. The place gives out a good vibe with the nice breeze of air and a lot of greenery to enjoy the good weather while watching your free show. Kid friendly environment and good place to bring your fur babies too.

Such a fun place to watch a show, or just roll down a big hill. Weve been bringing the family here for free entertainment since I can remember, and it never gets old. Houston is incredibly lucky to have this, thank you to everyone who puts in an effort to make this place work!

(Also see previous comments re: Hermann Park)Miller Outdoor Theatre is THE theatrical gem of the city. Whether sitting hillside for a Theatre Under The Stars musical or watching The Bards best, the program at Miller offers up the best of Houstons stage arts. For free!Some notes: if hillside (well, even in covered seating) insect repellent is suggested; this -is- Houston. Also, while most performances begin at or after sunset, this -is- Houston: stay hydrated and dress for humidity and heat.

Love going to see the free family friendly shows! Show up early to get a good spot on the hill and being a picnic!!

This is such a wonderful outdoor theatre. Were in the heart of Texas so it gets extremely hot but the design of this theatre mitigates the heat quite well. To top it off, its nestled in a park that has a beautiful garden, zoo, and walking trails. The performances held here are epic and oftentimes free for the family.Take a visit!

What a nice time we had at this place.. Next time I will go there to see another performance.. I love it

Omg! The tribute to Whitney Houston was amazing. It was one of the best concerts Ive been to in my 50 years of living. Belinda Davis did an outstanding job bringing the songs to life. Wow!! She has a beautiful voice and has never taking any lessons. Not to mention, the concert was free. I highly recommend making a donation to the theater in order to keep wonderful acts coming to the stage. My family and I love to sit on the lawn and enjoy the entertainment. A concession stand is available. Soda, popcorn, hotdogs, beer and wine are served, among other items. Plenty of parking and lots of security.

Absolutely lovely outdoor theater. The lawn is in beautiful shape, the views are outstanding, the sound is sharp, and the surrounding Park is stunning. Im very new to Houston and plan to attend as many events at this venue as I can.

Great open theater

My favorite place in Houston. Perfect place to relax, bring kids, have date night, bring the dog, picnic, etc. all while catching a ballet, play, opera, concert, symphony, dance troupe, movie, musical, and much more. Pay for seats but I love the hill and most people prefer it! Best of all its free! Japanese gardens, reflection pond, golf course, playground, zoo, paddle boats, museums all in close walking proximity. Parking can sometimes be a headache but thats the only downside.

If you dont know about Houstons famous hill, your loss. This is a great place to enjoy a picnic with family or friends and to catch a good free show. Just beware...the parking is a beast.

Nice place. Parking was not hard to find an hour before a show that ended up packed. Sitting on the hill was cool to see Seussical but may have helped if they had the actual actors on stage on the backdrop screen. Also when the cat in hat came in for live parts he was louder than the actual show- that volume may have held younger (and older talking) viewers attention for longer. Otherwise was a great night with clear weather and a nice breeze. Still thoroughly enjoyed the show.

I imagined struggling to hear the stage while people talk on their phones and kids run around playing. I was really impressed. Sound was great, performance was great and it was very comfortable laying in the grass. I also loved occasionally looking up as airplanes flew over. Also, I think this is the only hill in Houston so its good fun to run or roll down.

Chairs to the left, blankets to the right.Ive seen people frustrated for not knowing this.Great free entertainment for the whole family with free parking. You can bring your own food and drinks (even alcohol but no glass containers) but they have a concession stand that sells food and drinks as well.Again, great place!

The Miller Outdoor Theater is a real gem. We love catching free outdoor shows in the summertime. Ive seen the Houston symphony on multiple occasions, and Suesical the musical recently. Ive also seen a funk show and a few other shows. Ive been to the Miller Outdoor Theater five times in 2019. Loved every bit of it. Seating in front is free with a free ticket you can pick up at the ticket booth, next door, prior to the show. You do not need a ticket if you choose to sit up on the hill directly in front of the theater. Both seating options have their benefits. For instance, if you have young kids that dont feel comfortable sitting for hours in a chair, you may be more comfortable in the less formal hill environment. If you prefer sitting where your view has very little chance of being impeded or you simply cant get to top of the hill, you may prefer to get a ticket and sit up front. The website has a calendar of the events.

I like the fact that all events are free. Its a really nice place, family oriented and well designed. You can enjoy the show on the assembly space or just sit on the ground.

Amazing, beautiful acting and the feild was perfect

I go here all the time! There are always free shows and the last time I went I saw a Queen cover band! A+

Fun outdoor theater for the whole family... seating is available but you have to show up earlier in the day to get access to covered seating or wait before the show to see if theres trending seats available. also on the hill the right side is for outlasting w blankets to sit on and to the left you can use lawn chairs. there is a concession stand and restrooms. i think its more fun to bring a picnic also NO GLASS CONTAINERS.

Love this place! So many family friendly events for free! We have lots of good memories of this theater.

Miller Outdoor Theater offers something for everyone. Truly one of the highlights in the city of Houston. From plays and concerts to replays of recent and iconic movies. All shows are free (refer to their website about obtaining tickets), either grab a seat by the stage or set up on the lawn. The concessions are reasonably priced and good quality compared to most other venues. Or you can always bring your own food and drink (no glass).

I had a blast at the Miller outdoor theater! I had never been before so I took the family out to watch the Michael Jackson experience & it was awesome! The performance was very entertaining. I hope they come back next year.

Really like this place for the free shows! Check out their calendar.

July the 4th, 2018

Cool place! Outdoor events are well done over here!

Nice place to enjoy a free music show. In our case the Boheme by Puccini

We love almost every event that Miller puts on. We go just about every Fri and Sat night...we have sit in the seat and we picnic on the lawn. Most every show is a high quality and thoroughly enjoyable!

Its honestly a great place overall to see live entertainment. Youre allowed to bring your own food, drinks, blankets, seating, and just relax with friends and loved ones at the free shows. Nice place and feels safe at night.

Years of memorable shows here. Great place to bring the family. Lawn chairs on the left/blankets to the right.

It was simply amazing. Dar more than I expected!

Free high end open theater. Houstonians have the luxury of having an exceptionally free, yes...... Free events open place that can visit on weekends. The Miller theater has an excellent selection of entertainment and a significant number of artists.

Very good line-up of shows featuring Houston Ballet, Houston Symphony, and Houston grand Opera all for free. You can either sit on the lawn or chairs - tickets for seats can be obtained on the day of the performance (~10 am -1 pm).

I love that theater and I enjoy your shows very much

Amazing show! Fun experience! We sat on the hill. Arrived about an hour early. Had no problem parking in the zoo lot and got a good spot on the hill. Well definitely go back!

Miller Outdoor Theater. Dancin in The Street Motown Review was fantastic, so enjoyable I went Friday night Sunday.

Miller Outdoor Theater is one of Houstons wonderful venues for the Arts. I just saw Shakespeares Julius Caesar. This production was interestingly staged and performed with a modern twist. It was great! And best of all, it was free.

Attended the Houston Shakespeare Festival with my family last week--As You Like It, which was on offer with HSF the first time I attended 30 years ago. Always a great time! Picnicking on the hill (and some hill-rolling by my daughter) made for some great memories.

Saw the Houston Ballet perform here and what a spectacle! Houstonians keeping it classy. I cant wait to go back.

This place is great! They offer a wide-ranging variety of shows, from concerts, dance performances, musical performances, plays, movies, and more all for free. There is a covered seated area and an uncovered hill where you can bring blankets and chairs to watch from. Some performances are ticketed which means you need to go there earlier in the same day to get free tickets for the seated area. You dont need tickets for the hill area and its first come, first serve for a spot. If you dont get a ticket for the seated area beforehand, you can still sit in the seated area as they open it up 5 minutes before the performance for everyone to grab whatever free seats are remaining.

It was fun, very old movie but a good one. Giving 4 stars because it was cold. Good Halloween for the wife and I

I love miller outdoor theater very nice good view from any seat. Recommend must visit.

You can always find good quality entertainment for they family here.

It is one of our favorite activities during summer nights with our kids. We love the laid back atmosphere and have been to pretty good shows. Keep up the great work!

Always a wonderful time

Amazing place and for free! Wow. Thank you Miller Outdoor Theater. Heres to another 95 years at least!

Great selection of shows and concerts, love the park and sitting on the hill, plenty of restrooms, food venues, clean beautiful part of the city, been coming here for years

Cirque mechanics, quirky and fun music. A bit cold that night, but took Niko,Niko to eat and our dog. Great free entertainment.

It was a beautiful outdoor facility. Great architecture. The best part about it is that, its free. To get the full Houston experience, visiting this small spot of heaven is a must

Great place to enjoy the outdoor

What an amazing venue, Houston is clearly one of the most diverse cities on the planet. I attended two concerts this weekend. Free World class entertainment. Thank you Houston. Thank you Miller Outdoor Theatre!
