Barnes and Noble Booksellers is the best place to go for your literary needs. Not only do they have a great environment conducive to reading and studying (for you college kids), but they have a wide variety of books available, including some that I couldn't find anywhere else. They have couches and chairs for you to sit down in read and in case you're thirsty, there's a Starbucks right next door. Personally, everytime I need a book or magazine, I head down to Barnes and Noble Booksellers. You should too!

Waterworld entrance is free with admission to Astroworld. However, the Waterworld section closes at 6 p.m., which is not that great. However, it does have some great rides and is a perfect spot for a family outing. The only things to watch out for are weather and the beverages and food are rather expensive. However, , this is a great place to go, ESPECIALLY with a family. Very family oriented, and you can have fun in the water!
Only thing I didn't like was the lack of cleanliness at the tables and some of the disrespectful lifeguards, but that was all cleared up with a call and complaint to their supervisors. Great place to go, but if you encounter any trouble with employees, the only thing that will set them straight is threat of losing their job, so make sure to call their supervisor to report any problems, if any. Happy swimmings!

Space Center Houston is a place that no Houstonian or even visitor should ever not go to!! You can learn about the space program, play games, have lunch, take tours, and examine up close real rockets from the early years of the space program! The best thing about this place is the multitude of things to do. Not only do they have an amazing play area that will entertain adults as well as children, but their IMAX movies are great and moving. The tours of the complex are sometimes limited, but there are many times when you
are taken to a special area. I've been on the tour over 50 times and everytime I manage to see something new! This place will astound you and they are constantly hosting new exhibits around every 3 months that are extremely intricate and interesting! Rather expensive admission fee, but it's worth it!

Six Flags has the best rides and attractions in Houston! Tons of roller coasters and plenty of games for the little children. I was there for a whole day and it wasn't crowded, in fact, it was a really nice atmosphere . However make sure to go on a day with good weather.
Many of the extreme rides like the roller coasters and some outside attractions have to close for threat of rain for an hour, which can ruin a day! There are many restaurants and small stands where you can get a bite to eat and an area inside the park oriented for children!
I found it rather overpriced, but you can get a discounted admission simply by bringing a specially marked can of a soft drink. I highly recommend this theme park and it is guaranteed that you will have an awesome and exciting time at Six Flags.

I found the Houston Zoo to be lacking. The atmosphere was ok, but there was something missing. The day I went, it was EXTREMELY crowded and I could not see the animals very clearly through the crowds. However, It seems that on a relatively calm day, it would be better. I personally found the zoo to be quite small but it was ok. If you're going to go, then make sure you go on a day on which it would seem it wouldn't be that crowded. Bring some refreshments to stay hydrated as the Houston weather will burn you up in the summer. I'd be willing to give this place another chance.

It all started with hunger. I'd been wanting to try a new buffet after years of Golden Corral had left me wanting more. I'd seen an ad for Chabuca's in the newspaper and I was enticed. When I got there, I instantly fell in love. Not only was the atmosphere great, but the food was completely enticing. They had a wide variety at the buffet, including fish and meat. However, I made my change to eating at Chabuca's once I encountered the service. Very attentive and courteous waiters who greeted me with a smile everytime I was waited upon. Personally, this was the best buffet I've ever been to! Only thing lacking was cleanliness in the bathrooms, which is why it lost a star. Need a buffet? Try Chabuca's.
