A Message from Visit Baytown

Together, We Can Make a Difference

A Message from the Visit Baytown Team

We, at Visit Baytown, want you to know our thoughts are with you and we are here to support you. We are experiencing unprecedented times. Our nation is being impacted on all levels, including how we engage, with not only each other, but our environment. Your Tourism Team is working hard to keep you and our community informed about the latest news in Baytown, including activities that support distance learning, and opportunities that allow you to travel while staying "in." Tune-in to our Baytown Tourism social media channels and our website www.visitbaytown.com to stay updated for these and new opportunities! Together, we can make a big impact by staying home and working safe.

We have closed the Visitor Information Center located at 311 W. Texas Ave. in compliance with the Harris County Stay Home Work Safe order, but you can reach us through email at tourism@baytown.org.

Visit us on social media to stay up to date.

By visiting www.readyharris.org you can access the latest Harris County information.

Baytown is located in Harris County, TX. Like so many other counties and states nationwide, Judge Lina Hidalgo, has issued an order asking all residents to stay home and work safe. This means all of us should stay home unless our jobs are essential or we are conducting essential business for the health and safety of our community . The order went into effect March 24 and will stay in place until, at least, April 3th and beyond.

Going Virtual As We

Social Distance

"Social Distancing" is a new word in our vocabulary and now a new behavior that is helping prevent the spread and "flatten the curve" of the coronavirus. However, does the phrase "stir crazy" come to mind?

The Tourism Team has set up a page of Google virtual tours of some of our most popular places to visit to help combat the urge to get out and about. To get started, click here. You will find a list of multiple tours, so take a seat and explore Baytown!
