The Museum of Natural Science has a lot of different exhibits (each one requires the purchase of a separate ticket).
Currently they're showing the Lord of the Rings exhibit (which is only in 3 locations in the entire U.S.) so I think that's definitely worth seeing if you're a LOTR fan.
As for the other exhibits, I found them to be boring and there were plenty of things that you wouldn't want your child touching.
If you have a toddler that loves to touch everything in sight (like mine), you'll spend the entire time saying, "No."
There's really not much for kids to do here but it's worth a visit if you have no children and you're new to the area.

Academy is a store that my Hubby likes a lot since he is a very active person. We always find what we are looking for here wither it's for basketball, football, or shoes to play in and always for the right price. Here it doesn't even matter if they are on sale or not because they always have good prices.

This is one of my favorite museums in Houston. There is always something in here that you probably would not have imagined before. It is a really great experience. They also have a really fun gift shop. I had lived in houston for about two years before venturing out to this museum and I am so sorry I waited that long. Go go go! It is such a neat space which really complements the art. Be sure to go downstairs and don't miss the shop and a whole other display area.

This store is just soooo nice and VERY organized. Their Games sit stacked neatly in current game themed cabinets. Their sample systems sit in very appealing cases, very clean and well maintained, and always has a game on, and there right next to each other, so you don't have to walk around the store to test all of them. All the display cases are hanged on the wall, so there is a lot of room to walk in. The Employees are just EXCELLENT. When i went to trade in games, they said one was not in the offer, but i told them it was not on their exclusion list (which was true) so they manually switched it and got me the game! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This museum isn't the best art museum in houston but it's a museum. It doesn't get too crowded here and admission isn't too bad. It's located near Richmond. The staff is very quiet and they are a bit strict. The menil offers lots of beautiful paintings you wont find anywhere else. Great to go on a good day.

The men and women who work at Luke's Locker are experts on all things athletic. When I was in the market for a new pair of running sneakers, I decided to check them out. First of all, they had the largest selection of sneakers I had seen after an exhausting search at the mall. The sneaker wall was even a little daunting until a very helpful salesman was able to guide me in the right direction. After a little walk up and down the store, he was able to tell me what kind of shoe would work the best for me and then recommend different brands, elaborating on the pros and cons of each. He even gave me directions to some running trails around town. I received the same treatment on another occasion when I was shopping for shirts. Who would have thought there would be so much to know about moisture-wicking shirts?! My one complaint is that they are a bit expensive. I might pay a little extra for sneakers, but I think I'll shop for athletic wear somewhere less expensive.

Slick Willie's is a good place to shoot some billiards. They have a lot of tables and is usually fairly empty which makes it easy to enjoy your game. The price is fair and the service and atmosphere is nice. I would recommend this place to pretty much everyone I know, their is nothing bad about the place really, check it out! It is in a fairly bad location.

Northwest Indoor Soccer is located in a old wharehouse building that is pretty run down. The only good thing about the indoor soccer field. It is full size and just had a new second generation turf installed on the field. That turf is like playing on grass. The bad thing about this place is that the refs and the managers are all friends. If you aren't in their crowd you aren't going to enjoy your game. You won't get a call. Beyond that it's pretty expensive too.

Hermann Park Conservancy is such a great place. Hermann Park as a whole is a beautiful park nestled in the inner loop of Houston with great things to do. The golf course is respectable and the conservancy is great. The entire area is so close to numerous residential areas making it a great place to visit and relax.
