I certainly recommend that you go and take the whole family but I was expecting a little more for such a huge City. More

My 5 and 8 year old boys and I are visiting my family in Houston. We went to the children's museum today and they loved it! We stayed for 7 hours! There was so much fun things for them to do! We did the outdoor water works and they had fun. Got wet but that was the best thing. I... More

I have two little kids and have been to many children's museums. This one is the best by far. It is easy to get to and park which is great for frazzled parents. The kids feel super grown up in the little town. They get their own money and jobs and even do the grocery shopping! I love to sit... More

Children will feel as if they have gone to heaven. It is a place where touching is REQUIRED! Adults will enjoy this place as much as the children. Where comfortable shoes and enjoy. More

Used to take my kids there often. They are grown now but the Museum has been updated and improved over the years. We always enjoyed going, the kids loved it. Lots of activities to engage all ages. Great place. More

You can bring a stroller but won't get very far with it (stairs), so the have a little area you can park it. My kids had a blast for hours. Great... More

Over the years I've gone to this museum - sometimes a couple of times a year, sometimes it's years between visits - and it's always different. The standard grocery store is always there, though, which is great as the kids really seem to love to go shopping and check out at the registers. Lots of hands-on things and enough info... More

We had a membership here when we lived in Houston. Great, safe, interactive place for the kids. Worth a day trip! We would go every few months and there was always something new to do and see. My boys were between the ages of 3-6 and loved it every visit! More

Children's museums vary so much from city to city, but Houston has it going on! Inside the museum offers a city scape where the kids can role play as veterinarians, police officers, bank officers, and lots of other careers. Businesses give out pay checks and they can be deposited at the bank, just like real life. The kids loved using... More
