Houston is the fourth most populous city in the US. Located in Southeast Texas and near the Gulf of Mexico, you can easily explore the different sides of the city by car. Visit museums, go shopping, or enjoy great restaurants – there is so much to do, eat and see. But as if the buzzing metropolis isn’t enough, you can even cruise a bit further away from the city center to see what gorgeous sights the surrounding area has to offer.
Houston has everything one might be looking for in such a big city. Shopping malls, restaurants, museums, sports, and other venues are all within reach. Museums you cannot skip are the Houston Museum of Science, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Children’s Museum of Houston. The Museum of Fine Arts speaks for itself. It houses wonderful art pieces and is a great stop for those that feel like exploring a variety of arts in one place.
In the Museum of Science, you can discover all kinds of scientific exhibits, such as giant dinosaurs, fossils, and much more. Learn all about gems and minerals, paleontology or spent time with every butterfly you can imagine. It is definitely fun for kids! Combine your visit with the Children’s Museum of Houston for interactive exhibits that will keep the little ones entertained for hours!
Another Houston highlight is the Minute Maid Park. Here, you can watch a baseball game, enjoy the electric atmosphere, or enjoy those classic sports game foods. Other ways to be entertained are a trip to The Music Box Theater to watch new musical talents or hit up Rodeo Houston to wear your best Western clothes and enjoy the rodeo and country music.
As you can see, Houston has something on offer for every member of the family. Whether you are on a solo trip or brought along all of your kids, everybody will remember Houston as a fun stop on your road trip. Combine the adventures mentioned above with some excellent shopping and fine dining in Houston’s best restaurants and you’ll have a perfect getaway.
