Crafts/Cooking
I am a lover of all things crafts/activity, so of course I adore Love & Make. I recently did the perfume making class with my mom and sisters for Mother’s Day and it was such an amazing time, I definitely recommend you check out a class! They als...
Love & Make: Perfume Making, Candle Making, Soap Making
This place is perfect for parties, casual activity, or even a date night. There are classes for either throw pottery on the wheel or hand-building, and there’s often different kinds of products you can make. Make sure to check out their website for d...
Smashed Clay + Studio
This is such a fun experience, regardless of your skill level! There's always a variety of classes to chose from, and everything is so easy to follow. Highly recommend!
Sur La Table Cooking Classes
Check out these monthly macaron baking classes, where you learn how to make 4-5 different flavors and get to take home two dozen of what you've made. The classes are so much fun and a great way to spend a girls day!

Museums
HMNS is world-class and even though I’ve been maybe a few thousand times in my lifetime (fun fact: I worked there when I was a teen), it’s never lost its sense of wonder for me. With stunning permanent exhibits (Dino hall, gems, Egypt), must-see trav...
Houston Museum of Natural Science
I love a good Menil day. With a collection of permanent and rotating exhibits, it's the perfect place to spend a couple of hours at. If you want to spend more time, there's a cafe across the street or you can hang out on the green space outside- on a...
The Menil Collection
I went here recently for a kid birthday party BUT, was blown away how I had never thought to visit before. I'm not a vintage plane person at all, but it was really cool to walk around the hangars and see everything that was there.
Lone Star Flight Museum
I always feel so lucky to live close to the MFAH. I could spend hours upon hours here, and always feel like there's more to see.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Activity
Had no idea what to expect from Activate, but it was way more fun (and way more tiring) than I imagined. The rooms are so immersive, have a variety of different skill levels, and literally put you right inside the game. Make sure you wear good shoes ...
Activate
I love Cidercade so much. With a huge mix of classic and vintage games, you can literally spend hours here. It's a good vibe and also super inexpensive, which always makes it an easy go-to-spot!
Cidercade Houston
I love a good escape room, and so far The Escape Game venue is one of my favorites. It's so well organized, is challenging, and is just very well thought out.
The Escape Game
I went here for a family get-together and felt like it was the perfect combo of being able to chill/eat/drink and doing an activity. Each group has a bay with a couch and tables, and you can take turns playing a variety of simulated games. The pricin...
LOFT18 Houston
This is such a cool place and definitely worth the visit. The course is nice, there's good food and drinks, and it has other activities like ping-pong and cornhole. I would recommend however going when the weather is nice!
PopStroke Houston @ Katy | Eat. Putt. Drink.
This is such a fun experience and would go back again and again. You go through a series of challenges, trying to beat the game before the time runs out and you get “bombed” by either paint, slime, or foam.
