The 56th Annual Houston International Boat, Sport and Travel Show is going on through Jan. 15 at Reliant Center. This year’s show features more than 1,000 power boats, luxury cruisers, fishing boats and personal watercraft. The show also features a great selection of campers and travel trailers for the camping enthusiast.
There are lots of exhibits at the Houston Boat Show, including outfitters from as far away as Alaska and Costa Rica, fishing guides, gear, marine electronics, fashions, jewelry, hot tubs, artwork, food and much more!
Even the kids can find fun things to do at the Boat Show. There’s a Fish-o-Rama where kids of all ages can catch live fish, and something really cool called Bubble Runners. Bubble Runners are giant plastic bubbles that kids get inside and then they roll around in the bubble in a big pool. It looks like a lot of fun!
Better wear your walking shoes when you go to the boat show, because the event covers 16 acres of boats, campers and exhibits. I love looking at the boats and campers, but this year the coolest thing I saw there was a beautifully restored Volkswagen Bus from the '60's. I went on my first date with my husband in his ’65 VW bus, so this one brought back some great memories!
The Boat Show hours are 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $10 for adults and $4 for children under 12. Admission and parking are half price on Wednesday (11th) and Friday (13th).
See you at the Houston Boat Show!
