If you're looking for something more all-inclusive, this is a great option with both indoor and outdoor water options, a ropes course, arcade, etc. Newer but not as big as some of the others.
Great Wolf Lodge | Webster, TX
This was worth the visit! There were just enough insects and facts inside for my daughter to soak up. Then, the walk-thru butterfly habitat was just beautiful!
Cockrell Butterfly Center
Great stop if the kids need to get out some energy! Playground, fields, fountains, and restrooms! Great for a picnic and to play in the water on a hot day.
Discovery Green
It's not cheap, but it's a great experience for the Bluey fan in your life. It's about 45 minutes in a life-size version of the Heeler house with a Bluey and Bingo meet and greet at the end.
Bluey x CAMP at CAMP Houston
Fun and interactive for the whole family! You will appreciate the photos taken throughout that are sent right to your email!
Color Factory Houston
About 40 minutes outside the city, but a fun day trip with rides, shopping, and waterfront dining. My girl loved the stingray reef in the Aquarium!
Kemah Boardwalk
Great if you have a toddler and need a little break! Imaginative play zones in a clean environment. Grocery store, doctor's office, bus, toy train set, and more!
Play Street Museum - The Woodlands
A classic family outing with a great splash pad area for hot days.
Houston Zoo
We love anything that makes learning fun! Designed just for kids, full of STEM-based activities and pretend-play zones.
Children's Museum Houston
Educational and great for any kid currently obsessed with space! I mean, moon rocks and spaceship replicas that you can enter! So sad that we didn't have time to squeeze this one in on our latest trip.
