Why do some people avoid going Downtown on the weekends, even when they’d like to go ice skating at Discovery Green then enjoy some shopping and a nice restaurant at Houston Pavilions?

Because they’re not familiar with the parking garages and the cost involved. Generally, parking fees aren’t too bad if you’re spending a decent amout of time downtown. However, they may seem a little cost prohibitive if you just want to run in and grab something at a shop or a quick bite at one of the many fine eateries in the area.

Houston Pavilions currently has a promotion that should allow more people to take advantage of all that Downtown Houston has to offer during the Holidays. They are offering Free Parking on the weekends – during the allotted daytime hours – with the purchase of $10 or more at a Houston Pavilions establishment. Here is their promotion, direct from Houston Pavilions:
