Now that we've seen the museums in the Houston Museum District, it's time to go to places that are outside the Museum District:
The Miller Outdoor Theater is open from March through November. The live performances include music, ballet, dance, film, Shakespeare and much, much more.
Discovery Green Park always has something happening. There are local musicians in the amphitheater and fresh local produce at the Green Market on Sundays.
The Art Car Museum is in a one of a kind. Visit it and you’ll see why it was the Garage Mahal.
The Lee and Joe Jamail Skatepark is where I “lost” the kids for most of a day. It is close to downtown near the Eleanor Tinsley Park.
The Houston Arboretum and Nature Center is where the family lost me for a whole day. It is on the west side of Memorial park. Walk the center's five miles of trails and visit the sanctuary's interactive exhibits free of charge.
Be sure and take the 90-minute boat tour at the Port of Houston. It is free and a great way to learn about Houston’s history as a seaport. Watching the ocean freighters and barges navigating the 50 mile channel was really interesting. The tour is free, but reservations are required.
The Heritage Society Museum is Houston’s only interactive, outdoor museum and is inside the Sam Houston Park downtown.
This covers the museums that I have gone to in Houston. Tomorrow let’s talk about food and night life. And there is plenty of both in Houston.
