We're Sorry
Houston, Texas for School-Age Kids
3 day trip
Day 1
-
- Science & Nature Museum
- Visitors Center
Space Center Houston
Houston,
The next best thing to actual blast off, this working space center is a giant "wow," where astronauts train, scientists work, and mission control still guides shuttles to a safe landing. ...
-
- Amusement Park
- Live Music Venue
- Boutique
- Boat Ride
Kemah Boardwalk
Kemah,
Take one waterside location, add some thrill rides, shake visitors, and voila: vintage-style boardwalk. ...
-
- Hotel / Motel
Inn at the Ballpark
Houston, TX
Baseball references are everywhere here: on the floors (baseball bat pattern in the carpet), on the walls (baseball-themed art), and even on the bedding....
Day 2
-
- Park
- Fishing
- Hiking
Brazos Bend State Park
Needville,
Alligators in the wild -- that's all you need to know about this one-of-a-kind state park about an hour outside of Houston. ...
-
- History Museum
- Historical Landmark
George Ranch Historical Park
Richmond,
The Texan George in question is not a president, but rather a rancher, one of a line of folks who settled this sprawling acreage in 1824 and kept it running for 100 years....
-
- Mexican
- Family Dining
- Take-Out
- American
- Burgers
- Drive-in
Goode Company Taqueria
Houston,
If you don't arrive hungry, don't worry -- you will be soon. Mouth-watering mesquite can be smelled all the way in the parking lot of this red-roofed local favorite, where burgers, chicken, and tacos have made the place famous. ...

Day 3
-
- Science & Nature Museum
Houston Museum of Natural Science
Houston,
Kids walk in and immediately beeline for the Paleontology Hall, the spot towered over by all manner of prehistoric critters, including the diplodocus (that's "dip-low-dock-is," for all you parents). ...
-
- Roadside Landmark
Water Wall
Houston,
It's manmade and in the middle of the city, but this towering cascade of water (it literally is a wall of water) is surprisingly like an oasis -- the thundering sound of water and the temple-like structure have a calming, almost hypnotic effect....
-
- Shopping Mall
Texas Souvenirs Unlimited
Houston,
It's not easy finding sweatshirts in Houston, probably because it's hot as blazes at certain times of the year, making fleece a bit impractical. ...
