Travel - Enjoying Houston on a City Pass

On yesterday's post I mentioned we started our mini vacation in Houston. One of the ways we are saving money while in Houston is by using a City Pass. The Houston City Pass is good for 9 days after the first use, that way you're in no rush to visit the sites you plan on seeing. In the Houston City Pass you get 5 of 7 destinations to choose from and they are: Downtown Aquarium, Kemah Boardwalk, Museum of Fine Arts, Children's Museum, Museum of Natural Science, Houston Zoo, and The Space Center. I will talk about the first 3 we decided to visit.

If museums are your thing, I recommend the Museum of Natural Science and the Fine Art Museum. I recommend going to the Fine Art Museum first because the parking is free. There are many exhibits to see in both, we learned so much visiting them. The Natural Science museum also has McDonald's inside if  you get a little hungry. After we went to both museums we went to the Downtown Aquarium. Now the aquarium is ok, but it could have been better. They had a White Tiger there.... but we could have seen that at the zoo. What they should have had there was some sharks, but they didn't. There is a mini amusement park on the premises, but that's not part of the City Pass. If you want lunch or dinner, there's Landry's restaurant on site as well. With the City Pass you get a free appetizer with you entrée purchase. Now I've been to Landry's before, but I wasn't impressed this time. It could have been this location, but I will save my money and eat elsewhere next time.

It's getting late and we're headed home for the evening. Tomorrow I will talk about our final 2 destination on our City Pass. Until then... Stay Fabulous.
