Explore one of Houston's hidden treasures, the Buffalo Bayou Cistern. Take this guided tour to see and hear about the architecture of this unique space, and experience its revolving art installations.
Discover the secrets of one of Houston's most iconic and historic landmarks on a walking tour. Hear about the origins of the cistern and admire the subterranean architecture as you experience a highly unusual space with vast columns and a 17-second echo.
Meet your guide in the pavilion in Buffalo Bayou Park, Houston's oasis of green in the middle of the city. Hear how the structure was built in 1926 as the city's original drinking water reservoir. Learn from your guide how its architecture was inspired by the famous Roman underground cisterns.
Then, head down into a space which has been repurposed as a subterranean public space hosting a revolving programme of art installations. Marvel at an interior the size of 1.5 football fields and which holds 15 million gallons of drinking water.
Unleash your inner child and play in the space. Trying calling out to hear the 17-second echo as the sound of your voice bounces of the walls and ceilings. Admire architecture of monolithic concrete columns. Pause to check out some of the art installations before returning above ground.
