DRINKS that quench your thirst?

Houston has a local brew scene that is sure to satisfy.  Take a tour of one of our famous local breweries and discover the unique flavors that have their roots right here.  Those famous names include St. Arnold’s Brewing Company, 8^th Wonder Brewery and Karbach Brewing Company – all of whom have tours and tastes daily.

The NIGHTLIFE is what you’re looking to find?

Make sure to join local Houstonians at one of our favorite spots downtown – the Market Square Historic District.  The after-game scene can be found here, with the bars and restaurants that surround the square open into the wee hours of the morning. Click here for more NIGHTLIFE in Houston.

You’re a fan of ALL SPORTS?

Houston is home to great sports teams with world-class facilities.  Tour Minute Maid baseball stadium this weekend and go behind the scenes of one our hometown favorites.  See historic Union Station, the broadcasting booth, press box and take a field lap to the dugout, bullpen and manual scoreboard.

Born to SHOP?

More than 30 million visitors each year visit The Galleria, Texas’ largest shopping center and fourth largest domain nationally. It is 2.4 million square feet of shopping space, housing 400 stores and restaurants.  Beyond the famous Galleria landmark, you’ll want to explore some of our other shopping attractions at Highland Village, Rice Village or the River Oaks District.

Consider yourself an ARTSHOUND?

The Museum of Fine Arts Houston has a myriad of exhibitions that celebrate African American and Latin American Art as well as the Art Deco cars of the 1930s.  Other museums, all accessed easily by METRO Rail, include the Museum of Natural Science (that houses the famous live Cockrell Butterfly exhibit), the Children’s Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art.  If you’re looking for off-the-wall art, take a Street Art Tour with our locally famous graffiti artist, Gonzo247 and explore our downtown murals!
