Houston, Texas
Visiting this friendly zoo is as much about the people as animals, with zoology professionals so happy to tell you about their charges....
Zoo
Lee and Joe Jamail Skatepark
Houston, Texas
How do you find the new skateboard park near downtown Houston? Follow the skateboarders. They're drawn from all over like surfers to the waves, carving, "ollieing," and grinding....
Skateboarding
Schlitterbahn Galveston Island
Houston, Texas
Just about every name here contains some ominous yet fully descriptive word like "blaster," "cliffhanger," or "tempest," all of which will ring like music in kids' ears. Galveston is a billion degrees in summer....

Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
