What people are saying about Houston

I went to the Children’s museum with my kids. They loved the place and didn’t want to leave. We went to the holocaust museum too. Couldn’t go to other places due to time as the kids spent so much time at the children’s museum leaving us with no time for other places.

It was very interesting and my husband and I learned a lot!! It was also totally wheelchair assessible! Austin was a great guide!

Great experience for both kids and adults I would definitely buy again!!
