4730 Richmond Ave Houston, TX 77027 United States +1 713 621 6602 |
Located just inside the loop in the Galleria area, this restaurant is one of the best-kept secrets in Houston. A casual dining experience complete with televisions so you don't miss that important game. The menu here is wonderful. Spicy crab claws, gumbo and crab bisque are all great choices for appetizers. For an entree, try the Snapper Courtney. Be prepared as the entrees are very large and filling. Try to save room for the Key lime pie. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Gorgeous collection of modern art |
5216 Montrose Boulevard Houston, TX 77006 United States +1 713 284 8250 http://www.camh.org |
Opened in 1948, this museum's goal is to present the "art of our time." Renovated in 1997, the building now sports an elegant new interior that is almost as appealing as the exhibits. Regional, national and international artists display their work here, and the museum can also take credit for the successful launch of several local artists' careers. The art exhibits are very diverse, exhibiting the use of various materials and subjects in a wide range of styles. The gift shop will put a significant dent in your wallet, but it is rumored to be one of the best in town. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dinosaurs, gemstones and more |
1 Hermann Circle Drive Houston, TX 77030 United States +1 713 639 4629 http://www.hmns.org |
This interesting showplace offers a wide variety of exhibits that are worthy of a full day's outing. The three-level live butterfly exhibit fascinates the young, as does the Challenger Learning Center with its great introduction to space science. Definitely spend some time exploring the dinosaur exhibits. Of equal appeal to the adults in the crowd is the Wiess Energy Hall, as well as the Cullen Hall of Gems and Minerals. If you need a break, enjoy an IMAX film or sit in on one of Burke Planetarium's shows. See their website for more details and pricing information. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Birthplace of Texan Independence |
3523 Battleground Road Houston, TX 77571 United States +1 281 479 2431 http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/pa... |
This is the battleground where Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836. After the Alamo, General Santa Anna's large force chased Sam Houston's small army across Texas and was soundly defeated at this site. A limestone and concrete monument rises 570 feet above the coastal flatlands to pay tribute to the historical event. At the base of the monument you will find the Museum of Texas History, and the Battleship Texas is berthed in the ship channel at the edge of the park. Admission to the park is free.

Original Mission Control |
1601 Nasa Road One Houston, TX 77058 United States +1 281 244 2100 / +1 800 972 0369 http://www.spacecenter.org |
Ever since the Apollo flights, Houston has been synonymous with space travel. This section of NASA's Johnson Space Center allows visitors to take a look back at the making of space history. Enter into the five-story plaza which features a full-size shuttle mock-up, complete with flight deck. By far, the most popular highlight for adults is the tram tour that takes you to various buildings throughout the Space Center. You will be able to have a seat in the viewing room of the original Mission Control room and stroll past full-size mock-ups of the original Apollo rockets. When you need a break from all the activity, the Zero-G diner is on hand to fix you right up. Review © 2007, Wcities |
