Things to do in Houston, TX?

Question

We are leaving tomorrow afternoon to go to Houston, TX for a mini vacation and I have a 4 year old. I just want to hear what some of you guys think about the fun activities for children are there. I know about the children's museum and the nasa space center. Any other ideas??

Answer 1

Herman Park and the zoo. It's down toward the medical center. They have revamped the train that runs through the park. It's a nice little ride. Plus you are close to the children's museum and others.

Answer 2

try also kemah, galvestion, seaworld or schlitterbahn, an astros game

the zoo, nasa, moody gardens in galveston just to name a few

Answer 3

The Aquarium downtown.  It's small, but kids love it.

Answer 6

I found this website when we moved to Charleston SC and needed some ideas of things to do with my children 6 yrs. and 2 yrs. I have used this site many times and my family has always enjoyed our choices.

You can pick many different towns but I went ahead and selected the link for Houston. Have a great trip!

Answer 7

There are some great suggestions, I would add Lupe's Tortillas and Joe's Crab Shack for kid-friendly restaurants with play places.

Answer 8

ride horses go swimming arcades

4 years olds are easy to entertain

just make sure you watch them
