midtown_resident Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 We've got friends coming in from NYC this wkd - any recommendations on things to do? We've got kids involved - one that's four and one that's turning two - so we're not looking for the nightlife recommendations - more so the daytime, get out and enjoy the weather kind of stuff. Item's on the shortlist already:Hermann Park / Zoo Picnic dayKemah Boardwalk Gotta have a Galleria visit - though if the weather is nice, that will be short or avoided all togetherI've come to believe that this group represents some of teh best knowledge of the in's and out's of houston - so your help is not only appreciated, but necessary!

rps324 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 If kids are involved, what about the children's museum, space center or museum of natural science?Day trip to Galveston to the strand or Moody Gardens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelguy_73 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Check the Press or the Chron for festivals--spring and fall are full of them and most are a blast to attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoide Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I second the Children's museum although I think you have great choices already. Especially Hermann if the weather is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I second the Children's museum although I think you have great choices already. Especially Hermann if the weather is nice.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I vote for the Hermann Park area as well. The Kemah Boardwalk is a zoo on the weekends. Lots of walking involved so if there are kids....i'd plan accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
