Houston Spring Break

When I was young we went to Houston over Easter weekend one year. We saw NASA, Battleship Texas, San Jacinto monument. I know the monument was the most exciting but a great history lesson. NASA and the ship were alot of fun. I don't know now what their tours are but you might be able to pull them up online.

Close to Galveston there is a really cool place called Moody Gardens...it's a huge glass enclosure with lots of birds and butterflies. Also, in Houston you can visit the Transco Water Tower.

The only idea that I have is the Houston Space Center. They do tours and have a cool space room for the kids to play in. Hope this helps.

Getting to see the sights while you have time over a school break if great, but sometimes kids love to just play and use their imagination, and not have to be doing. Do you have a yard where their imaginations could run wild and play or cook or make stuff. Sometimes a good art center has fun craft things for kids to do. Or just go to the ocean and enjoy.

I took my 7 year old to Keemah and Johnson Space Center a year ago. He loved both. He loved, The Aquarium Restauraunt in Keemah... life size aquarium and then you can feed the sting rays after dinner in a downstairs exhibit. Johnson Space Center was awesome, too.

I grew up in Houston and I really can't think of too many fun places to go to be quite honest. However, the Kemah Boardwalk is great for a day trip. It's about 45-1hour south of Houston on I45. There's also Nasa(also 45 South}. There are a couple of water parks like Splash Town and there's the Houston Zoo and the museums located next to Herman Park in downtown. The arboretum was always fun. Galveston would be fun too(Moody Gardens) except I've heard from friends it's not the same since the hurricanes. Ok, maybe there are a few fun places-it just depends on what your children are into. Hope this helps! If you have any questions let me know.

Johnson space center was great. Also lakewood church with pastor Joel Osteen!

You might want to check out some of the programs that NASA has. I heard they have some new exhibits for kids. I was there several years ago with scout troops for overnight visits and most of the kids seemed to enjoy it and learned quite a bit. I did have a few kids who thought it was boring.
