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...

Locktopia Escape Room Houston

Escape room center

👍👍 So first time coming here was last night. Ive done several escape rooms around Houston and Locktopia has to be in the top 3 in my opinion. We showed up last night and did the spell-caster room with our all mighty game master Gideon (who was amazing) and really made it a fun experience. We had such...

Strange Bird Immersive Escape Rooms

Escape room center

👍 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.

Houston Audubon Society

Non-profit organization

👍👍 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.

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!

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...

👍👍 My family drove 2.5 hours here to surprise my mom for her birthday. Seeing an owl in person was on her bucket list. This trip did not disappoint. She was so surprised. We had so much fun learning about owls! Staff was super friendly, informative, knowledgeable, passionate and really made our trip he...
