 Houston Kids AttractionsHouston is a very kid-friendly city, making this a perfect
destination for a family holiday or fun-filled long weekend. Very
few children aren''t excited by the idea of space travel, so launch
your visit with a trip to Space Centre Houston, the visitor base
for NASA''s Johnson Space Center. There is plenty to see and
experience here, including space flight simulators. The Orange Show
is one of the quirkiest, most popular and engaging attractions in
Texas. Created over 24 years by Jeff McKissack, a retired mailman,
this is an architectural wonder of walkways, arenas and sculptures
using found objects and decorated with mosaics. It''s hard to
explain, but children invariably have a strong connection with this
unique artwork. The Houston Zoo is a 50 acre facility on the
grounds of Herman Park. It has a children''s zoo that aims to teach
and delight in equal measure. Old MacDonald Farm on the edge of
town is a petting scale on a truly Texan scale with 12 different
petting environments for the children to get up close and personal
with the animals. The excellent Children''s Museum of Houston is a
hugely interactive and fun experience for children of all ages -
and adults too! Exhibits like Kid-TV give youngsters a hands-on
feel for what it''s like to put on a TV show. Finally, head to Six
Flags AstroWorld for a day of roller-coaster rides, carnivals and
shows that will get young and old screaming for more. |
