9 Things To Do In The City Of Houston

The City of Houston is extremely widespread. In fact, so much so that finding things to do can often prove overwhelming. But rest assured, there is more than enough to keep just about anyone both busy and entertained.

Here's a list of 9 things you have to do before you leave the City of Houston.

1. Shop at the Galleria. 3 floors make up the largest shopping mall in Texas. From specialty stores to fine dining to indoor ice skating, this is the place to go if you're looking to spend some money.


2. Indulge your eyes at the IMAX. The Houston Museum of Natural Science is home to one of the largest movie screens you'll ever see-the IMAX. Take in an educational flick and you'll find your senses overwhelmed...in a good way.


3. Choose a chocolaty treat at the Chocolate Bar. Talk about the ultimate desert destination! The Chocolate Bar in Rice Village is the perfect place for any chocolate lover. From different cakes and ice cream to various souvenirs made of chocolate, you're sweet tooth will get taken care of here.


4. Take a Safari in the Houston Zoo. Recently opening their African Safari exhibit, the Houston Zoo will have you shouting "lions and tigers and bears-oh my!"


5. Explore the underground tunnel system. Designed to keep people out of traffic and off the streets, the tunnel system runs all around underneath downtown and is full of dining and random shops.


6. Examine some fine art. The Menil Collection, Museum of Fine Arts, and more give you hours worth of paintings and other art forms to feast your eyes upon.


7. Watch a team sport live in person. The city of Houston has it all-professional baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Just look for what's in season and get tickets.


8. Pay tribute to the orange at the Orange Show. It doesn't get much weirder than this. A 3,000 square foot tribute to artistic vision and the orange. Words can't do it justice.


9. Watch a theatrical production for free. Think you have to spend a fortune to catch a play? Not when you visit the City of Houston's Miller Outdoor Theater. Sit on the hill, have a picnic, and watch a play-for free.

As you can see from the above, the City of Houston has lots to offer. No matter who you are, your age, or where you're from, you're sure to enjoy these activities and more. So set aside some time and take in what Houston has to offer.
