Float Through Thousands Of Christmas Lights In A Heated Lazy River At Texas Winter Lights
Winter weather doesn’t always make it to Houston in time for Christmas, but we can still enjoy the holiday season in style. At the Marriott Marquis Houston, their Texas-shaped rooftop lazy river is heated to 80 degrees and lined with thousands of Christmas lights all month long. Float the night away, watch holiday movies, sip festive cocktails, and make homemade s’mores at this perfectly Texas celebration.

It features more than 8,000 holiday lights illuminating the entire deck, and you can admire them from the lazy river, which is heated to a cozy 80 degrees all winter long.
Various themed light displays make perfect backdrops for family photos, and abundant dining and beverage options are available.
Sip your favorite beverage and celebrate the holidays in style. The cabanas also offer front-row seats to the holiday movies shown every Thursday night.
The drink menu has been completely revamped for the colder months, with festive options like Iced Nog and Hot Spiced Wine imparting the flavors of the season.
Roast marshmallows over the rooftop firepits, add however much chocolate your heart desires, and make the perfect wintertime treat.
Tickets are $15 for ages 7 and up, and $6 for ages 2-6. Please note: the event is open to hotel guests only on Friday and Saturday.
