Houston Activities - Children's Museum of Houston / Susan Brown, Your Texas Connection, Keller Williams Realty

Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams NE, Kingwood Texas (Humble & Atascocita too)

According to Parents Magazine, our own Children's Museum of Houston is ranked #1!  The level of interaction & entertainment for children is astounding.  In fact, Tammie Kahn, CMH executive director says, "Every day we offer new mind-blowing, family-engaging ways to learn more about this exciting, ever-changing world, and we do it in ways that will bring a smile to your face-guaranteed!  It’s all about engaging our children in development of 21st Century skills in ways that encourage them to be confident learners and leaders in the years ahead. And helping parents get the support they need to nurture the potential in their children."  I couldn't have said it better myself!  

The Children's Museum of Houston is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Sunday from Noon to 6:00 PM.  Admission is $8 for adults & children over the age of 1.  For a special deal, every Thursday night from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, it's FREE Family Night, courtesy of The Wortham Foundation, Inc. & Kathrine McGovern.  

The museum has 90,000 square feet of interactive exhibits.  There are 14 hands-on galleries.  Check out the Kid Lift in How Does it Work? where you can raise yourself 5 feet into the air to see how pulleys work.  Or become an inventor in a workshop in the Invention Convention using magnets or plastic bags or water bottles and more!  Each child receives a Kid Card when they enter the museum.  This card works much like an ATM card in Kidtropolis, USA
with a starting 60 Kidtropolis Dollars to be used for shopping or special workshops.  And the children can take on a job in Kidtropolis to earn a wage of  20 Kidtropolis dollars to replenish that Kid Card.  

An amazing time for children (and adults too) - the Children's Museum of Houston!

Hi Susan,

That looks like the perfect place for kids of ALL agest to explore and have fun. I love it when children get to discover and use their imagination while learning. What a great place to visit! Thanks for sharing! Houston has so much to offer when it comes to discoveries, doesn't it!
