Hi Deb,

I recommend you contact the Houston Greeters.  They will act as your host and take you around to different activities or attractions of your choice.

You could also book a Houston City Tour to get a guided tour of some great Houston attractions.

Hope this helps,

Veronica

Hi JJ,

If you're looking for great attractions in Houston, I recommend you look into a Houston CityPASS.  The CityPASS gets you into all the top attractions in Houston at 45% savings.  Space Center Houston is down close to Kemah, so it would be easy to pop over there during the day.  

You can check back on our Events Calendar to see what is going on during your trip. 

I'd also encourage you to check out our itineraries for other ideas, based on the group's interests.

Hope this helps,

Veronica

Hi Marielena,

Our public transportation includes the Metro Bus and Taxi's.  For the Metro, feel free to use their trip planner tool to help schedule your trip.  If you are staying in Downtown or the Galleria, you can use The Wave Jittney Service to take you anywhere you'd like.  The light rail is also available if you'd like to travel between Downtown and Reliant Park.  

While you're here, I'd recommend a Houston CityPASS to hit all the top attractions at 45% savings.  Also, here is a list of our itineraries to help you plan your trip.

Have fun!

Hi Andrea,

We have some great itineraries that you should review - the 3 day itinerary and 5 day itinerary are great for families.  I'd also suggest you check out the Houston CityPASS which gets you into all the top attractions at 45% savings. 

Here is a great article with activities for kids - I'd recommend SplashTown or Schlitterbahn for your teenagers this summer.

You can always check our Events Calendar for activities going on this summer.

Hope this helps,

Hi Glenna,

Actually there are a couple of performing arts-oriented things happening that night. You could see the play What We're Up Against at Alley Theatre. It's a thought-provoking dark comedy about the glass ceiling in corporate America. Also, Carrie Fisher is in town doing her one-woman show Wishful Drinking where she discusses everything from her mother Debbie Reynolds to her drug addiction--in a funny way.

For other ideas, here is a link to our calendar of events for May 19. Also, check out this romantic itinerary we've put together for couples.

I hope this helps!

Hi Melanie,

The studio is at 2500 Summer St Houston, TX 77246. There is not a formal tour or anything of that sort, but the gate is always open during regular hours and you can go inside the studio space and the yard to see the various sculptures. It's quite an experience!

Hi Sandii,

What else are you interested in seeing while you're in town? Here is a list of things to do with the kids, here is a list of kid friendly restaurants and we also have a 3 day itinerary and a 5 day itinerary for ideas.  I'd also encourage you to look into a Houston CityPASS - the pass will get you into all the top attractions at a 45% savings (including Space Center Houston)!

Both the Galleria and Downtown will be a bit of a drive down to Space Center Houston, but are close to other attractions in town.  It just depends what else you are interested in doing while you're here. 

Hope this helps,

Veronica

Hi Marco,

Unfortunately, you're coming to town while the Houston Astros are away playing the Pittsburgh Pirates. If you were to get into town a day earlier Sept. 2, you could catch a home game against the Cinncinati Reds. Click here to see their schedule. The Houston Texas are playing on Sept. 9 (a day after you say you're departing) against the Miami Dolphins at home. So suffice is to say, if  you come a day earlier or a day later, you can catch one of these games! 

 
If you need more information about Space Center, click here.

As for the outlets, there are two really good ones, Katy Mills Mall and Houston Premium Outlets. Katy Mills has a Saks Off 5th, Neiman Marcus Last Call, Coach and more. Houston Premium has great brands as well. I suggest you check out the store lineup for both on their websites and see which one you like best. They're both about a 30-45 minute drive. 

Hope this helps!

Hi Gabriella,

It's difficult to say which signs you would follow without being on the road, but I would suggest you use a map program like Google Maps to plot your drive.

Hi Karla,

Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything rodeo related going on in July. As you probably know, the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo happens in March each year but there aren't a lot of regular western events happening in the city. You can check out our cowboy itinerary though for suggestions to give your colleagues.
