The Escape Game Houston (Galleria)

Escape room center

👍👍 We played the Market (Special Ops) escape room and it was great. It was a little tough but not too much. It helps that there are unlimited hints, but I tried to use them sparingly. The room was very immersive and fun. Adel was our host and she was great at explaining everything and getting us prepar...

Best Bites Houston

👍👍 My twenty two year old daughter and I had an amazing time on Star’s tour! She is extremely attentive and knows so much about the history of the area.

Escape Hunt Houston

Escape room center

👍👍 Me and my group of 5 had a good time here at the Alice in Wonderland escape room. Though, this escape room was easier than other escape rooms we’ve done in Houston, but it was probably our fault for not checking the difficulty level haha. It was definitely kid-friendly.

Segway Tours Of Houston

Tour operator

😠 My wife and I had a tour about 2 years ago. My wife was nervous going into as she does not typically do activities on wheels (for example, riding bikes). It was her first time on a Segway was practicing with the instructor. He made her feel horrible about not being confident by saying things like “a...

Water Wall

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Definitely a fun spot to check out if you are in Houston! It’s a touristy spot because it has an insane amount of water that falls from the great heights, it is a man-made waterfall that is pretty spectacular to see. It’s also really close to the Galleria which is fun to be close by. Highly recommen...

Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart

Catholic cathedral

👍👍 Spectacular cathedral. Sunday Mass was invigorating, inspiring and restorative. We attended 11am high mass on New Years day, led by the Cardinal. Such a treat as we are from out of town. Good to see they offer many opportunities for confession all week long. We need more churches like this!

Houston Symphony at Jones Hall

Orchestra

👍👍 The experience is magnificent! The food available for additional purchase is pretty tasty, and there are three options, pasta, paninis, and a salad.

PanIQ Escape Room Houston

Escape room center

👍👍 Super fun experience! We did the military bunker room with 4 people and made it out with a few minutes to spare. The puzzles were challenging but still made sense to be able to figure out. The lady was super nice and helpful. We would definitely return to try another room!

Cullen Running Trails Center

Park

👍👍 Regular stop to get a “loop” in. Just over three miles if starting at the Trails Center. Great place to start stop a run though. Can get a locker, towel, and shower for cheap if needing to clean up after a run. There are also a lot of trails in the “woods” if wanting something more secluded / less...

TFTI - Interactive Selfie Museum

Art museum

👍👍 This was fun experience and a great date night!! We had 17 rooms to go through and there was so many different things you could do in each room. There are props and great lighting. They also offer you a ring light and a shutter button to connect to your phone. It made it easier to take pictures. It...

Czech Center Museum Houston

Museum

👍👍 I went with friends to see the Monarch Chamber Music production. The Czech Museum is a very elegant venue. The Museum had free Danish, and you could purchase wine, soft drinks, and water. There were small tables and chairs, plus tall bar tables. The museum was available for viewing, and there was a...

Zilkha Hall

Concert hall

👍👍 We had the best date night in a long time! "Will Hearn's Grand Ol' Christmas Show" featuring Blue Water Highway is not to be missed. Remarkable how each individual was so talented. We didn't expect it to be so comical. Great wholesome family fun but we being in the over 50 crowd surely enjoyed it mo...

Houston Astrodome

Stadium

👍👍 Saw some awesome concerts here back in the day. The dome should be a historic landmark. I am adding a photo of me standing in the front row of the 1982 Texas Jam. I was 15 and by myself 🤘. The Texas Jam and it's crowd's were definitely not your typical concert. I remember it being so loud that I...

Waugh Drive Bridge

Bridge

👍👍 Amazing!! Been twice. A few key points from experience: 1. Bats can come out before or after sunset so arrive 30 minutes before sunset and expect to stay for about an hour 2. Can bring a chair or blanket or just sit on edge of the sidewalk 3. Bats don't come out in the rain or cold (50 or lower) so...
