Museum District
Home to Hermann Park, the Houston Zoo and 19 world-class museums, Houston’s Museum District is a cultural destination that welcomes millions of visitors every year. There is plenty to do, see and eat here to keep you busy for a full day. You may even need more time if you want to visit the neighborhood’s many museums and cultural exhibits.
For families, the Museum District offers a wide array of activities, including playing in the Children’s Museum interactive exhibits, or learning about dinosaurs and butterflies at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
The beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood is walkable and easily accessible by METRORail, making it easy for visitors and locals to explore its many attractions with ease.
