Houston's proximity to the ocean typically inspires an interest in ocean or ocean-related tours. One of the nation's top ports, the Port of Houston, is situated four miles east of downtown. Jump aboard the Sam Houston for a one and a half-hour tour of the ship channel, and learn about the interesting history of the port while you view ocean-faring freighters, ships and barges. In Galveston, take the Colonel Cruise and enjoy a tour of Galveston Bay from the deck of a paddle-wheeled steamboat. The interior of the boat is also a museum. If you prefer to enjoy a tour on solid ground, visit the Texas Seaport Museum and see the newly restored Elissa, a Scottish sailing vessel built in 1877. In addition to the ship and other maritime exhibits, it also features exciting sea films on two large screens. If sea creatures interest you more than antiquities and relics, head to Lake Jackson and visit Sea Center Texas for a crash course in marine preservation. Large aquariums, rearing ponds and fisheries provide hours of educational entertainment.
