One of the biggest highlights of the year in Houston is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. It is held at the NRG Stadium. Rodeo time brings lots of fun and excitement. However, if it is your first rodeo, you might not be aware of all the required organizing! Here is a snapshot of what to expect and what to plan for a well-organized evening at Rodeo Houston.

 

Digital access

All tickets are managed digitally for Rodeo. You need both the tickets app AXS and the app Rodeo Houston. Create accounts online and access your tickets for entry into the grounds, stadium entry, parking, and carnival tickets.

 

Arrival at the location

There are many ways to get to the rodeo. You can purchase parking from those selling access to various parking lots. There is also a parking lot adjacent on South 610 that is a credit card payment. You can also arrive by bus from various Metro stations and there is paid bus access from The Woodlands. Allow plenty of time for travel to this venue as lines are long!

 

Plan your fun

Rodeo Houston offers amazing treats on the grounds at the carnival and world-class restaurants outside the stadium.  Be sure to plan ahead with time to shop and dine. You can browse all the stores and eat to your heart’s content. It is one of the best spots for real funnel cake and fried anything!

 

Rodeo attire

Boots are not required! However, you will see amazing rodeo attire at Rodeo Houston. Rodeo fashion includes a hat, denim, flowers, and flowy dresses. Be prepared by shopping ahead and organizing your closet.

 

Rodeo is a 21-day event in Houston and not to be missed. It is a long day to plan for and lots of excitement to take in. For our family, we have attended since 1988 and make it an annual family tradition!
