What an awesome way to cool off in the summer heat. Thank you First Methodist Downtown for this…read morefree experience! Located inside the church, this play center is for ages 0-5 years of age. Let me say it again - FREE! Little slides, a climbing structure, artificial grass to play on. There is also a classroom set up with toys and games. And better yet, you can bring in your own food and drinks and eat lunch with your little. There are cubbies to store your shoes and other items. There is a sink located in the classroom as well as a changing table. When you enter, you'll check in and you'll get the low down. It wasn't over crowded when I was there and you don't need to make a reservation. Parking may be tricky the first time. There is parking across the street on Clay and a block over - catty corner to the church. If you park along the green fence in one of those two lots - it is free! There are reserved signs pained in the spots - but a little hard to read. If you are concerned about where you parked then just ask the security guard when you entire the church. I took off one star only because with any park-the older kids can trample the littles. Sometimes I felt like some parents weren't keeping an eye on their kids - but that's anywhere. I highly suggest this place for your little if you want to beat the heat!!

I'm glad we visited on a free night because it would not have been worth the money if we had paid for it.

Granted, you would probably be exhausted at the zoo unless you put a timer on like I do, so that we don't all have meltdowns, but I digress. But I am really happy to come across this play area. Was it weird walking up and down the rolling hills of the playground with a stroller? Absolutely. But would I do it again? Absolutely. I really love how they had a rubber ground for the patrons to walk on because I'm really sick of the wood chips. I'm not sure who started putting shards of wood under our children when they play, but I'm over it. We came here on one of the handful of nice weather days weekend down here in Houston. I'm not sure how hot the playground would be during the summer, because a lot of the material here is metal, but I would definitely check it out again!

We were assisted with confirming our art piece and selecting the colors. We were able to put on protective gear and get started right away. The staff were very helpful during the process and ensured our paints were full. I enjoyed being in our own space, away from others. one thing I wish I could compare more is the price ($80 per person). We did the smaller bears and other locations have it starting at $50.

I really enjoyed it and would definitely go again. I highly recommend it if you want to experience it for yourself or if you're looking for something fun to do with children. The line was starting to get pretty long, so they brought out another train, which was actually exciting to see that they had more than one. After train ride we went over to feed the stingrays, which is always fun and slimy. We bought single tickets for these two exhibits, but they offer a full day pass of you want to see and do more.

I recently visited the Houston Downtown Aquarium using my CityPASS, and honestly, it was a huge…read moreletdown. The general admission section that comes with the pass took maybe 10 minutes to walk through completely. If you want to do anything else beyond that, there is an additional fee at every turn. To make matters worse, there is a complete lack of signage. It was incredibly confusing trying to figure out where to go, whether we needed to exchange our CityPASS for physical tickets, or if we needed a wristband (we weren't given any and were told our passes were enough). There was also no signage regarding pricing for the train ride. We waited in line, only to be turned away because we didn't know passes had to be purchased all the way back at the main entrance. I may have gone in with high expectations, hoping it would be comparable to the Texas State Aquarium, but this felt less like an aquarium and more like a frustrating, constant money grab. Save your time and money if you are looking for a true, full-scale aquarium experience.

The ladies who helped us with the process were very patient, even with several energetic kids in the group. All of the designs are super cute and you can customize small bits of it (such as choosing the placement of the eyes and mouth). There are also extra accessories you can add on for a bit of a price (but it's because they are premade handmade crochet items so there is cost of labor involved!) I made a blue dino with blue spikes and although he came out a little more rotund than I expected, I love the finished product!

We were about 18 in total meeting up on a Saturday evening to play what felt like Family Feud. When we arrived, we waited in the lobby, selected our teams, and our hosts gave us the gist of what we were about to do, then we went into the room. Each team was on opposite sides, and one player from each team had to step up to the podium, and whoever hit the buzzer first had the chance to answer the question and could steal that round for their team. The game was exciting and even had a Wheel of Fortune vibe to it as well because there's literally a wheel that you get to spin. The hosts even curated a playlist for us, which added to the experience. I'd definitely be back and I recommend this to anyone looking to have a good time with a group. Parking was decent because there's a garage close by. Not sure how much the game cost because someone took care of it for us but, I'm sure if they had drinks (I don't even drink) for adults, it could further elevate the experience.
