59 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.

You'll visit kid-friendly attractions like Houston Zoo and The Houston Museum of Natural Science. Change things up with these side-trips from Houston: Kemah (Stingray Reef 215 Kipp Ave & Kemah Boardwalk), Galveston (Galveston's 61st Street Fishing Pier, Moody Gardens, &more) and Brenham (Brazos Valley Brewery, Blue Bell Creameries, &more). The adventure continues: see the interesting displays at Space Center Houston, get up close and personal with brilliant marine life at Downtown Aquarium, admire the sheer force of Water Wall, and have fun and explore at Children's Museum of Houston.
