3 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 the numerous day-trip ideas around Houston: Kemah (Kemah Boardwalk & Stingray Reef 215 Kipp Ave) and Galveston (The Strand & The Seawall). There's still lots to do: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Houston Zoo, see the interesting displays at Space Center Houston, explore the world behind art at Art Car Museum, and get curious at The Houston Museum of Natural Science.
