Widely recognized as one of the country's best museums for kids, the Children’s Museum of Houston offers an excellent collection of fascinating exhibits and hands-on activities. Among other things, kids are invited to step inside a futuristic factory, explore an exciting child-sized town where kids call the shots, and tinker around in an inventor's workshop. A challenging obstacle course allows kids to exercise their bodies as well as their brains, and there's a special tots play area for kids up to 3 years of age. The museum is usually open Tuesday through Sunday, and free admission is offered for families on Thursday evenings.
