Houston - Spots Not to be Missed
Many travelers to the metropolis of Houston are acquainted with the activities available to the whole family. Visitors often come to check out Johnson Space Center, the Houston Zoo, and the Houston Aquarium. But aside from these famous sights are some lesser known locations that are more than worth the time to visit. If you've been to Houston but not been to any of the places on this list, you're missing a great treat, and you need to include them to your itinerary for your next visit.
For an entertainment megaplex, visit Bayou Place in the theater district. This complex, situated on over three acres of property, includes a variety of clubs and bars, theatres, restaurants, and gaming zones to suit your entire family. It has a Hard Rock Café, Italian Trattoria restaurant, and a movie house complex in addition to its other points of interest.
For an uncommon shopping experience, head over to Galleria Mall. It is one of the biggest malls in the state, and caters to the "upscale" shopper. Anchor shops include Nordstrom's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Macy's, as well as a assortment of smaller, specialty retailers offering the best-known brands. Even if you just want to window shop, you must make it a point to stop by and see the enormity and style that defines this mall.
The Museum District deserves to be pointed out here also. Although many people are acquainted with the well-known Fine Arts and Natural History Museums, there are a variety of others in this same location that are equally spectacular and worth a visit. The nearby McGovern Health Museum, for example, has Houston's only 4-D theatre. The Holocaust Museum, also located in the district, should be visited by each visitor to the city as a reminder of one of the largest tragedies in history.
