Houston's Childrens Museum

The Orange Show

This is by far one of those most bizarre things I have been to in a while. Its almost hard to explain – must see. Its set on a small urban lot in an older neighborhood and the whole display looks a bit out of place. It was built by Jefferson Davis McKissack between 1956-1979 and is a tribute to his favorite fruit – the orange. Well worth the buck to get in.

Battleship Texas & San Jacinto Battleground

By far one of the coolest things I have seen since I have been down here. They are in the process of restoring the battleship. A good portion of the battleship can be toured, but frankly it’s not for really small children (lots of ladders) and climbing.
Location : LaPorte Texas

Downtown Theater/Business District

Ever been downtown and wonder where everything is? The downtown district has a sunken streetscape. Miles of pedestrian tunnels lined with restaurants and specialty shops hideout under the towering skyline.

Houston's Light Rail

The light rail that leads to nowhere. Right now it’s more of a tourist thing linking the downtown, medical, museum district, and Reliant Stadium areas. Buts it’s a start. I would love to see the city expand the rail to connect neighborhoods, airports and even the burbs.
Tickets $2.00/ all day pass

The Beercan House

Location: 222 Malone, Houston

Located in the heart of the city, this eclectic one-story house is almost hidden between two new towering condo buildings.
