    I used to frequent the mall so often for a post dinner stroll that certain employees throughout the mall recognized my family and I. All that changed with the pandemic but we're finally venturing back every so often. A number of my mall favorite stores have gone including Godiva, but it got me Googling Läderach and how the Swiss chocolatier came to be at the Galleria. As background, Läderach only expanded to North America in 2019, so fairly recently. At the beginning of 2021, they signed an asset purchase agreement with Godiva which had them take over the leases of a number of US Godiva locations - of which I assume the Houston Galleria location is one. They currently have 37+ locations in the USA. Läderach had similar offerings to Godiva. You've got the display case with the individual chocolates/truffles/pralines (some of which are alcoholic). They also have walls of prepackaged/gift boxed delectables. But here are the differences: there's no soft serve or hot chocolate... BUT they do have Frisch Schoggi (Fresh Chocolate) - slabs of chocolate similar to the chocolate "bark" seen here - which sets them apart. Gourmet chocolate bark! Also, all of their products are MADE in Switzerland and shipped to their stores (I can't imagine the shipping costs for that, lol). Godiva, being found internationally, has chocolate churning factories in Pennsylvania and Turkey in addition to Belgium, where the company originated. For my first visit (Thursday night) they had a steady stream of customers up to closing. Only 2 employees that were trying to attend to everyone. I thought for a bit because I was trying to take a poll in my party to see what flavors I should get (don't know why I try... I almost always end up choosing the flavors) so they tended to other people first to the point I was waiting when I was ready. However, they were great with questions. I ended up getting some Frisch Schoggi. They allow you to sample before buying - sometimes a decent sized piece since they break it by hand. I'm not sure if they have a limit; I sampled 2 before making my decision. I was apprehensive since I didn't want to commit to something if it was too sweet but the Strawberry curd was perfect! Probably help by the quark in it. I ended up getting the Strawberry Curd and dark chocolate Florentine. You can taste the quality ingredients and the product was decadent and super smooth. Note: they asked if I had food allergies before I tried some and they have vegan options! Major kudos there. If you have nut allergies, you might have a problem. Nuts were a big component in many of their flavors. That would explain why it's sold by weight at the rate of $55.60/lb - not to mention the name on the bottom of the slabs. Fancy! I'm not sure if it's the same for their display case chocolates but I'll find out my next visit. This place is a little more expensive than Godiva (around the $45/lb range), but I assume we're helping cover shipping costs in addition to everything else. Both great chocolates but I've only had Godiva's case chocolates so until I try Läderach's, I cannot give a proper review. HOWEVER, I can say it is delicious and perfect as a treat. I enjoyed my first taste of Läderach and look forward to exploring more!

    A new luxury chocolate store in Houston - a Swiss co. Laderach. Exactly where Godiva used to be earlier. They opened Saturday the 25th of Oct , so its really really new. Go crazy with chocolate and its many flavors and they do have samples. Nothing is made here, everything is made usn Switzerland and overnighted here- how cool is that !!

    I've never been in love with a chocolate store but wow this place can get addicting. Thank God i don't live around here because i will go broke spending my money here. Their hazelnut milk chocolate bark is what got me hooked. It's a wide selection of carefully thought out flavors and the textures too Our sampler was also so friendly and accommodating. As well as well informed so she tended to all our picky needs and requests. Found out they are a family legacy and hope it continues cause they seem to know what's up with chocolate.

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.

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.

I bought the tickets from Groupon, which was slightly cheaper, and expected to spend 3-4 hours there. We arrived around 11 a.m. and were able to walk through the entrance quickly. We had a lot of fun with the Mission: Sketch exhibit, where you can color your own rocket and send it flying into space on a projector screen. They also offer off-site tram tours. When we got there, all the tours were fully booked, except for the Saturn V rocket. Seeing it in person was surreal. It's enormous! Highly recommended!

I purchase a friends and family thinking whenever fam visits we can take them on tours and not have to worry about lines etc. They don't make it clear that you have to be here basically when it opens to even get a spot on the tram tours. They were all booked by the time we got here at noon. Major fail. We took the rocket one which is generic and runs every 20 mins. Used a member entrance that bypassed the basic longer line. On the way back this was not the case and now we are stuck here with over 200 hundred people trying to head back and our day is shot. This part is for the food lab. It closed at 3pm on a Saturday. This place is so chaotic and such a mess. Seriously need to get their act together. I don't know how anyone enjoys themselves here. Feel bad for people out of state who only have a day. At least we can come back but definitely not renewing now.
