Houstonians are always looking for a way to escape the weather here. Downtown workers during the week are no exception to this. But when you want to get away from the heat rising from the asphalt and reflecting off the skyscrapers, where do you go? You go underground. The Downtown Tunnels are a really fun, kind of hidden joy beneath the high rises and businesses in the heart of Houston. You can navigate the shopping centers and restaurants during the week in air conditioned comfort. There are even tours of the tunnels if you're just getting to know the area. If you're free from 6am to 6pm on a weekday, you can check out the tunnels that link up most of the major buildings in the downtown area. The seven miles of tunnel can connect you with businesses, government offices and even the Theatre District. Many downtown employees regularly use the tunnels to get their dry cleaning done, drop off their shoes for repair, do some light shopping on their lunch break or simply grab a bite to eat. Sometimes going underground is the only way to travel in Houston. If you're headed downtown, grab a map and check out the tunnel system - it's considered one of Houston's best secrets.

FANTASTIC! My son and I decided to do the tunnel and rail tour as a fun little home-school field trip to learn about some of the history of downtown Houston, and we had The Best Time with Mrs. Sandra! She really went Way above and beyond for us on this tour and we will definitely be booking more with her in the future. She took us to see incredible little hidden jewels tucked all around the downtown area and made a point of showing us all kinds fun and interesting things that would appeal to my 12 year old's curiosity and love of architecture. This woman is a walking history book and a joy to hang out with. You will Not be disappointed!

2021 April Soooo not really a business, but worth a mention!…read moreChappell hill bluebonnet festival!! Perfect weather...perfect place!! Once a year, Along the streets of the small city of chapel hill...is a cozy little area to look at booth after booth after booth of crafts, foods, hot sauces, and other homemade goodies!! the people are extremely polite and fun to talk to...alcohol is located throughout the area with a few scattered ATM machines. Free to get in, you can spend a few hours out there....live music and good times!! Love it

Review #3 - This festival is nothing less than Texas AWESOME! My mom would bring us here as kids…read moreand I loathed being drug here. However this was my first time back in probably over 20 year and they have TONS of things geared towards kids now. I'd be a happy kid! Anything under the sun "festival" will be found here. I was hoping to see more Bluebonnet art, but unlike 20 some odd years years ago it's more commercialized now, just think any festival you go to with "some" bluebonnet stuff mixed it. Home decor, yard art, Texas art, graphic tees, clothes, make your own potpourri, candles, jewelry, festival memorabilia,everything! And let's not forget about festival food! Lots of it! Adult beverages can be found everywhere. You can also get a glimpse into Chappell Hill history by going into the Historical Society building and other buildings along Main St. There is a kids section of carnival rides and face painting for those who have kids in tow. Parking as of this year is $5 and contrary to review number 1 - apparently they have it covered now because there were zero issues. Tip 1 - I would suggest arriving first thing in the morning to avoid any congestion. Tip 2 - There are TONS of yard art vendors. Shop around before you impulse buy. Several venders are much cheaper than the venders at the very start of the festival off Main and 290. Tip 3 - Some venders (not all) only take cash - so bring it! There is an ATM in the Historical Society building....unless they move it. Tip 4 - I laughed when I saw women toting around carts and wagons without kids. But I soon found that they were the smart ones! I bought so much cheap yard art that I could hardly carry it. Who's laughing now. Not me!! Lesson learned - bring something to carry your crap once you buy! You'll be happy you did! Enjoy!!!
