Regardless whether you live in Houston or are coming to visit you NEED to know the top 10 things to do in Houston!
1. The Houston Museum of Natural Science.
Full of animals, science and education, this is a must see for the whole family. Parking can be difficult in the museum district so research before you set out. Visit the website here.
2. Minute Maid Park.
One of the best things to do in Houston is to visit the home of the famous ASTROS at Minute Maid Park.

4. Children’s Museum Houston.
This is a favorite of my children. It is full of fun and educational activities. There is a great play area where kids can earn pretend money and then spend it on services. The entrance also includes craft activities. And the science section has loads of hands on activities. It is a great way to spend a full day! Visit the website here.
