10 days in Houston Itinerary

Although urban sprawl remains synonymous with Houston, most of the city's tourist attractions lie within the relatively small downtown area, surrounded by diverse neighborhoods housing the nation's biggest African-American, Asian-American, and Latino communities.

Explore Houston's surroundings by going to Galveston (Moody Mansion, The Seawall, &more), That Escape Place (in Spring) and Kemah (Stingray Reef 215 Kipp Ave, Kemah Boardwalk, &more). Next up on the itinerary: get to know the resident critters at Houston Zoo, examine the collection at Houston Museum District, get curious at The Houston Museum of Natural Science, and get up close and personal with brilliant marine life at Downtown Aquarium.
