free family friendly things you can do when visiting Houston, Texas + Downtown Houston exploration

If you're coming from British Columbia, Canada, or if you're a nature lover, Houston might feel quite different. The city is mostly flat, with fewer trees and natural areas to explore. However, there are still unique and fun activities in Houston you can try! Let me guide you through some options.

I personally wouldn't recommend staying in Houston for more than five days unless you're passionate about aerospace—you can visit their NASA museum. There's also the zoo if you enjoy animals. If you're looking to save money, Houston offers plenty of free spots around the area. I'll take you to some of the best free spots, including parks, downtown, the post food court, the best sunset spots, places to shop for $5 and below, and the outlet mall.
