Insider Tip: Grogan’s Mill Village Center
Posted in: Ways To Play
Tags:
Here’s a great insider tip for first-time visitors to our resort. Tucked away behind the resort is the Grogan’s Mill Village Center, the original village of The Woodlands. Here you’ll find a Randall’s grocery store for those forgotten convenience items plus quick-casual restaurants such as Fuddrucker’s, Beck’s Prime and Brother’s Pizza.
If you are of legal drinking age and looking to add to your wine collection, stop by The Beverage Shoppe with more than 800 different labels of wine and spirits.
For our youngest resort guests, Wonderwild is a fabulous place to escape those rainy afternoons. This indoor playscape features soft sculptures for climbing, fun slides, an inflatable obstacle course and other creative equipment designed to stimulate and challenge.
Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon are a real treat at Grogan’s Mill. A year-round farmers market sets up shop in the parking lot with vendors selling fresh, seasonal produce, local honey, home-made breads and baked goods, soaps, Texas grassfed beef, Indian cuisine and so much more. Click here to find out more about the Grogan’s Mill Farmer’s Market.
Just put on your walking shoes and ask our Concierge, or any resort staffer which path leads to the Grogan’s Mill Village Center … It’s just a shaded walk away!

Don’t miss the third annual Oktoberfest celebration going on this weekend at Town Green Park.
Beginning Friday, October 14 at 6 p.m. through Sunday at 6 p.m., sample the finest craft beers at the biergarten, stop by the “Winery” tent, shop vendor booths, watch chef demonstrations, take part in games and activities and enjoy live music on the main stage. Tickets are $10 for those 10 years and up. Proceeds benefit The Woodlands Rotary Club Foundation, raising funds for student scholarships.
Grab lunch at Baker St. Pub & Grill and sink your teeth into the Bavarian Bacon and Ham Pretzel Sandwich or the hearty German sausage sampler.
