Houston, Texas for Pre-Teens & Teens

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. ...

    • Sightseeing Tour
    Galveston Segway

    Galveston,

    First stop on the 30-minute Alley Tour: the long, flat Galveston pier. "Go play!" says the tour guide, and participants take off, enthusiastically driving the gizmos while learning to get the hang of them. ...

    • Ghost Tour
    Ghost Tours of Galveston

    Galveston,

    Scary stories, spectral visions, the pirate Jean Lafitte -- they're all part of the Ghost Tours of Galveston experience. Colorful guide Dash Beardsley, a vision in black with a long coat sweeping behind him, leads the group....

    • Hotel / Motel
    The Westin Galleria Houston

    Kemah,

    This full-service hotel has two towers, each connected to opposite ends of the fabled Galleria, meaning you (and your elatedly happy teenage daughters) can shop at one of almost 400 stores and then drop into a fluffy bed. ...

Day 2

    • 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. ...

    • Historical Landmark
    • History Museum
    Battleship Texas

    La Porte,

    Turn the corner into this state park, and the grey behemoth appears like a giant ghost: an enormous battleship bearing the weight of 36 years of war service. ...

Day 3

    • 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. ...

    • 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. ...

    • Mexican
    • Family Dining
    • Take-Out
    Lupe Tortilla

    Houston,

    On Friday and Saturday nights, this place hops -- adults sip margaritas and kids happily play in the sandbox, all while waiting for a table at this popular Mexican eatery. ...
