Children's Museum Houston
An interactive children's museum ranked among the best in the United States, with more than ten hands-on exhibit areas that keep children aged 2 to 12 busy for half a day.
Located in the Museum District, the museum is easy to identify by its colorful building designed by Robert Venturi. More than ten interactive areas cover Kidtropolis, a miniature city, water experiments, an invention workshop, and an area for toddlers. The emphasis is on hands-on activities and role-play, and it is often ranked among the best children's museums in the United States. Admission is about $15, and Thursday evenings have free admission periods (check the official website for details). Adults without children do not need to make a special trip.
