I make a habit of taking my children to museums when we travel and the Children's Museum in Houston is by far the best we've ever seen. There are things for children of all ages to do and see. It's a fun place to learn, even for adults. I would agree that the best time to arrive is when the... more

We were very disappointed in our trip to the Children's Museum of Houston. We arrived early to try to beat the crowds and found it to be over crowded. There were so many large daycare groups there that the exhibits were really not accessible. We realize the summer time is a very busy time for this type venue but they... more

Dear CCFTexas: We are so disappointed that you were disappointed. In late June, temperatures reached triple digits in Houston and remained there for over a week. During that time, many field trips responsible for young day campers made unscheduled stops at our museum seeking refuge from the heat rather than attend outdoor venues. We have noticed these groups have now...

We went here for spring break. My boys ( 6 and 9) loved it. They did not want to leave. We were there from 10 to 5. This museum has everything. more

I have a 10 month old daughter who loves to explore, climb, etc. I was looking for some sort of "indoor gym" for her to play. I was surprised to find the Children's Museum has an Oasis for those under 2. I believe it is called the Tots Spot. There is always a super friendly employee at the gate to... more

We go to the Children's Museum quite often and any visitor to Houston with children should definitely plan to visit the museum. There are always great things to do...both indoors and out. My kids love milking the mock cow, watching chicks hatch, face painting and playing with all the great toys. If you have a toddler or infant, the tot... more

Spring Break is not the time to go. It is so packed, you cannot learn anything because you cannot hear or talk. It was not a pleasant outing. It was more like going to Chucky Cheese. I am very glad it is here, but will never go during spring break again. The kids had a great time. Tot area is... more

Great place for kids 12 and younger. I love that it has permanent and changing exhibits. Cafe is expensive but great variety, even vegans. You are allowed to bring food with you. Has theater, perfomances, arts and crafts, splash area, indoor and outdoor exhibits, and even an exhibit for babies 0-2years. Not that expensive and if you live in the... more
