MFAH is a vast space that houses an impressive collection of arts and artifacts. Among its renowned pieces are works by Monet, Van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri Matisse, and many more. The museum also features an Islamic Art Collection, Roman Catholic collection, and African Gold exhibit. Additionally, MFAH offers numerous immersive and interactive experiences for visitors. I particularly enjoyed walking through Ernesto Neto: SunForceOceanLife. A great experience for both adults and kids. Frida: The Making of an Icon, a captivating exhibition, graced the halls of MFAH in January and will leave May 17. This remarkable exhibition showcases over 30 works by the iconic artist. Among the treasures on display are her authentic dresses, back braces, corset, and boot, offering a glimpse into her life and artistic journey. If you are a fan, this is a must visit. You will not be disappointed. Note: Special exhibitions like Frida's is only $10 on Thursdays.

The…read moreexhibits are pretty standard art museum galleries that you could find anywhere, but they sometimes have temporary exhibits that are more interesting and eclectic. They have free admission every Thursday, and we paid $10 each to get the all access pass for temporary exhibits. Parking is $10 in the garage. We went to see a Frida Kahlo exhibit and an interactive playground-like exhibit by Ernesto Neto. They gave us hospital grippy socks to climb on the structure. Kusama's Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity was cool as well, although one minute of standing in there was definitely sufficient. The least enjoyable "immersive" exhibit was the James Turrell one where we just sat on a bench for one minute to watch something, except that nothing happened. I am not an art person, so I wasn't super engaged by this museum as it is pretty similar to other art museums, but I think it's a good one for patient people who enjoy art.

Life is too short to color inside the lines so why not go wild and explore the universe of color!…read more After visiting the NYC location, this was a must on our trip to Houston. It was a world of fun photo props rooms and cool FYI about the categories of color. You can book tickets online using their website or Instagram to reserve your day and time a lot. FYI, kids of all ages are welcome but no strollers are allowed as there are stairs to climb and go down. They have cute snack pairings like fortune cookies , taffy and ice cream as you explore each art room. I absolutely loved it and we did the entire place in about an hour. You can take even more time If you wish . Bonus: after you register inside , you keep a cool QR card to take all your photos and they email them to you after the experience! You can also use the kiosk to print your photos out for a fee . There are beverages for purchase as well ( beer, wine, water and poppi soda ) It's a must for a solo trip, date or group !

Color Factory was just ok to me. It is a bit over rated and over priced for adults; however. the…read morekids loved it but they were looking for more. It is one of those places that can easily be a one and done. There is discounted weekday price starting at $19 for kids 3-12. Something tells me the $19 is if you buy it in advance. Meaning, not the day of. I paid $25 for the kids and $29 for myself online. The photo opps are what you make of it. Like for instance I've been to places where you press a button and the confetti drops down. For this, you have to actually throw the confetti up yourself. Good luck trying to figure this out with kids if you're looking for a good photo. They were also a bit underwhelmed with it. They loved the music room, the light bright room, and the balloon room. The goodies. It was cute. I'm trying bit to give the whole experience away if you are interested in going. It is best to pay for the ice cream online as it is a bit cheaper but not by much. Those cones were cute and delicious. I purchased the photo package. It really isn't necessary as you get to download the photos from a QR code you use when snapping the pics. There is a small parking lot near to it. If you wait for the group before you to leave then you can get a spot without an issue.

The space is super colorful, creative, and perfect for kids to explore and get hands-on. There were so many different slime textures and scents to try, and everything was really well organized. My daughter loved being able to play freely and make her own slime, and I appreciated how engaging it was without feeling chaotic. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. It's definitely a great spot if you're looking for something different to do with your kids.

I had heard mixed reviews so wasn't expecting much but even with that it was a let down. I planned 2-3 hours to be here, took us under 1 hour. Most of that time was spent making our slime. There are add ons but for our family it was $200 to go in we weren't about to add anything on. Things looked dirty, things were broken and it was showing its age. Just by the faded outside of the building/sign. Once institute they check you in and asks everyone to wash their hands at the tiniest sink I've ever seen. Then you sit down and listen to the rules. You make a name tag, get to add slime to a wall, then get to feel 6-7 cats of slime, do this silly computer thing that asks 1800 questions and tells you your slime buddies name (total waste of time and money on their part), now you stand behind glass and shoot slime at each other (our favorite but a quick thrill), then another room with the same slime textures, inside that room in a small musical room that was pretty cool, take a self with their logo, then make your own slime, after making your slime walk down a hall feeling the same slime textures again, then a gross wall where everything was brown from touching, now take off your shoes and walk in slime. That's it! That's everything. We felt we took our time but with washing hands to visiting their store we were done in under an hour. $16 per person to get in okay, $31 heck to the no, not worth it whatsoever. Make the trip from Austin just to take your slime loving kids.... Again heck no not worth it. The girl at the charm station was super friendly, we didn't see much staff other than that.

I wasn't sure if this Meow Wolf would be the same as the others but it was a totally different story. This experience was labeled as Radio Tave. Upon entering we went through a quick check-in line, a metal dector and security. Then we walked into the line and were eventually directed to a waiting room where a friendly employee explained that there was a mysterious story that you could try to figure out or you could just explore. Then they led us into the room to start exploring at our own pace. It was a really cool experience and full of creatively fun art. It was definitely different and an out of this world experience. After exploring for a while we decided to stop by the souvenir shop. We didn't buy anything but they have a variety of items you can look at or purchase. Overall Meow Wolf Radio Tave is worth a visit of you like hands on experiences, and figuring out mysterious stories while experiencing the creative art work.

I don't go to Rice or anything but anyone is welcome to come to quite alot of the events and/or exhibitions they have..! Some of the few I've been to are the recent Yoshitomo Nara exhibition and the beekeeping/real fish painting workshop ‍ Those were really fun and wonderful, at the time I got the chance to go with a friend which made it even better. Would recommend checking out what they have running and making memories with someone chu luv..! Butt! It's also the perfect spot for a solo date too. Don't feel shy going alone ‍ In fact, on my most recent visit this last Saturday (02/28/2026) I went solo to an outdoor show they apparently hold seasonally. And this time the performer was an artist I know and really like named Raveena! A modern r&b, jazz, pop desi-american singer. She was soooo amazing live, the crowd was very chill and happy to see her, the students who set up her stage? made it SO CUTE andd they even served free drinks felt like a really sweet and swell way to end february~

Sip & Stroll Art Tour…read more Have you ever wondered how art is selected for a certain space? Was it commissioned? Donated? Was it made specifically for a space? Was it already designed? So interesting to join the Moody Center for the Arts Executive Director Allison Weaver on a walk to explore the art on the Rice University campus. An art gallery. Tents with murals. Indoor and outdoor stops. So much fun to stroll through the campus and enjoy works by Jaume Plensa, James Surls, Beverly Pepper and Mark di Suvero. Love the classic giant people formed by huge letters sculpted by Jaume Plensa. The Crown Fountain in Chicago is another well loved piece by Jaume Plensa. Interesting to hear how a work of art either fits or does not fit into a space. For example, Po-um by Mark di Suvero was in a place where the kinetic sculpture did not get the wind it needed to be able to move. Imagine having to uproot and transplant a twisted steel work that weighs hundreds of pounds, but that is what was done. Jaume Plensa wanted his sculpture Mirror to be along a walkway that would have been sweltering in the Houston heat. It looks so much more inviting nestled among the oaks. In fact, you can walk into the sculpture and sometimes students bring chairs to study near the piece. Interesting to hear also about the sea-saws that were used during the pandemic to allow students to interact while keeping them safely six feet apart. The tents served a similar purpose, but also served as a canvas for oversized murals. Don't miss James Turrell's Twilight Epiphany Skyspace. Climb the stairs to reach the second floor. Our tour ended at sunset just in time to watch the sunset sequence which lasts for about 40 minutes. So beautiful. Check out the Moody Center for the Arts Calendar. Admission and tours are free. Parking is available on paid lots on the Rice University Campus.

The Beer Can House in Houston is one of my favorite places to take out-of-town guests because it's…read moreso unique to the city. This folk art style house, located in the Rice Military neighborhood, is covered in beer cans, bottles, and pull tabs, making it kind of a Houston landmark. The project was started by John Milkovisch, who, along with his wife Mary, saved empty beer cans for 17 years. While it may not have started as an artistic endeavor, it definitely became one. Ripley's Believe It or Not estimated that over 50,000 beer cans were used, though a more detailed count by a restoration team puts it closer to 30,000. Honestly, I don't know how many cans there are--but the sheer scale and creativity of it make the place undeniably unique and interesting. The Beer Can House is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, and admission is free, which makes it an easy and fun stop. Walking around, you can see how every detail is covered in some form of recycled beer material. It's whimsical, creative, and just so quirky. If you're looking for something different to do in Houston, this is a must-see. It's a great mix of folk art, local culture, and a testament to how even the most ordinary materials can be transformed into something extraordinary. Love it!

"I was here" that's basically it, I love these Roadside Oddities and Attractions just as people…read morehave done since the invention of the automobile so when I'm close to one of them and have the time I usually check them out. There's no need to rehash the history of this one it's been been done a number of times and seems accurate and if the stories are embellished who cares. I was in Houston on business and I finally took the time to check out a few of these attractions, unfortunately this one is only open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays so I did my viewing from the sidewalk. This house is located in a residential neighborhood so if you choose to visit respect the very restricted side of the road parking and the speed limit - the City of Houston has provided a few speed bumps as a reminder if you're not paying attention. I thought it was worth the short detour and my time, I was able to view the front and side of the property without very much effort and of course respected the limited access without trespassing. There's no doubt this guy loved his beer and had a aberrant talent, I can imagine that most of his creativity came after drinking a twelve pack sitting in a lawn chair in the front yard, it was definitely a labor of love (a love of drinking beer) and he was likely a pioneer in recycling...
