Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in Houston

Great variety of art, including crafts, modern, and photography.

Menil Collection in Houston

Interesting exhibits and a great lawn to run around on with the kids.

Children's Museum of Houston in Houston

What's not to like about a children's museum?

Museum of Natural Science in Houston

Dinosaurs are extremely important to the 3 year old boy in my life. This place is his valhalla. My Valhalla is over at Rice U.

Memorial City Mall Ice Rink in Houston

My kids are just learning to skate, and this is not the greatest ice (too soft?), but it is well-run and a pleasant experience overall.

Houston Zoo in Houston

A nice day out with the kids. Bring a camera and packed lunch.

Houston Arboretum & Nature Center in Houston

A great walk in the woods with informative signposts to educate the kids.

Wild alligators, migratory birds, and all kinds of other swamp creatures.

Walk the trail along the bayou to Horseshoe Slough in Houston

Paved bike-trail, open space. Looking for turtles, snakes, and birds. Throwing stones in the water, and frisbees in the field. Watch out for fire-ants!

Battleship Texas in Houston

Brings the scale of ships to life. WW1 and WW2 stories seen and told first-hand. Free for kids.

Johnson Space Center in Houston

For kids with a space & rocket fascination, this is heaven. It's a very expensive day for a family though, unfortunately.
