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...

Strange Bird Immersive Escape Rooms

👍 Sorry for the paragraphs as a warning! I've been to lots of escape rooms. And I had to simmer a little while to figure out what to rate this one. I hope this doesn't come off as negative, given it has so many 5-star review. Bottom line, it's good. The setting and immersion are top notch, and the pu...

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.

👍👍 The bayou runs through this medium sized park. Nice trails and a pond. You often see animals. There are several trails, so it is great for small kids. Adults can get a workout by walking multiple trails. They used to allow dogs, but there was an issue, so for now, no dogs allowed.

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...

👍👍 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!

👍👍 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...

😐 Lots of artwork. Lots of gravel and uneven surfaces and no ramps. Not so great for accessibility. I saw some amazing outdoor 'graffiti art'. Beautiful murals. There were vendors of handmade products of various kinds: Jewelry, soaps, candles, and bath scents. Inside the various warehouses were sculpt...
