Driving Instructions

From Dallas (Driving South on Interstate 45):
Once you get South of Conroe, then it will seem like EVERYTHING is Houston. Continue driving South on Interstate 45 and once you encounter Loop 610 (Interstate 610), then go East on Loop 610. Continue in this direction until you cross a very tall bridge over the Houston Ship Channel. Stay in the RIGHT LANE and exit onto Highway 225. There is a sign which says to Deer Park and Pasadena. This will put you on the Texas Independence Highway, which also leads to the San Jacinto Monument, The United States' TALLEST Obelisk and the associated Battlegrounds. (Beautiful State Park!) Take one of the Deer Park exits.

From Galveston (Driving North on Interstate 45):
Though it will seem like you are in the same metropolitan city, continue driving North in the right lane of Interstate 45 until you can exit North (or East) on Beltway 8, which is also called the Sam Houston Tollway. As soon as you exit you will actually be going North, and Deer Park is on the right once you pass Spencer Highway. Pay attention to the warning signs that say that past the last exit (before the Houston Ship Channel) you will be forced to cross the channel and pay a toll.

From Victoria/Corpus Christi (Driving Northeast on U.S. Highway 59):
On U.S. 59 you will be travelling Northeast and once you enter Houston you can either exit East on Beltway 8 and follow it around to the area mentioned above or can continue to Loop 610 (Interstate 610) and exit East. If you take the 610 exit East, then continue until you cross over Interstate 45 to Galveston and the Pasadena/Deer Park (Highway 225) will be on your right. Take it onto the Texas Independence Highway and take one of the Deer Park exits.

From San Antonio (Driving East on Interstate 10):
Once you have entered the Houston traffic jam you can either take Beltway 8 South and travel around Houston until you reach the Deer Park area on your right (on the opposite side of town: See Map!) - OR - you can continue travelling in on Interstate 10 and take either the South exit or the North exit on Loop 610 (Interstate 610). Either way will eventually get you to the opposite side of Houston, where you can take the Highway 225 East exit to Deer Park.

From Beaumont (Driving West on Interstate 10):
Once you get into Houston your first option will be to take Beltway 8 South to Deer Park. We recommend this, as the Toll Bridge (around $2.25) leads almost directly into Deer Park. Once you cross the bridge, then take the first (IMMEDIATELY) exit Right to Highway 225. Turn East on 225 (under the bridge: You will actually be on the 225 feeder) and you will be in Deer Park. Should you decide to continue West on Interstate 10 and not take the VERY tall Toll Bridge that is on Beltway 8, then take the South exit from Interstate 10 onto Loop 610 (Interstate 610) and continue over the (almost as) tall bridge and take the second exit, which is Highway 225 East to Deer Park.

From Livingston (Driving Southwest on U.S. 59):
Once you get into Houston, take Loop 610 East and exit East on Highway 225 once you have crossed over the Houston Ship Channel bridge. (Sidney Sherman Bridge)
