The Children’s Museum Houston has been a staple as one of Houston's best kid-friendly attractions since 1980 and boasts a wide array of activities to foster learning in a fun, innovative way. There are more than 20 different exhibits to visit with lots of things to do inside (and outside) the museum, and there is something for any child from toddlers up to 12-year-olds. It's a good idea to wear comfortable shoes as you will most likely be chasing your kid all over the place!

The Bayou City is known for its scorching summer weather—and that summer lasts for basically 3/4 of the year—so our kids spend a lot of time in the water. Whether it's at the pool, a splash pad, water park, or the ocean, Houston kids need to learn how to swim and execute proper water safety.

There are plenty of places that offer year-round swim lessons or swimming classes that get kids comfortable and confident in the water; we've rounded up ten of the most popular swim schools in the Houston area. And once your kids are swimming safely, be sure to check out our comprehensive camp guide and full directory of camp listings to set up a great summer!

All dads are different - but regardless of whether the dad in your family is a stay-at-home carer or heads out to work, likes to play ball or prefers video games - he is easily one of the hardest people to shop for. Dad is a superhero in his own right, and with Father's Day right around the corner, it's time to start brainstorming ideas to let Dad know just how much we appreciate him. This Father's Day, we recommend giving Dad the gift of a fun experience and quality time.

Whether the dad in your life is active or into the arts, loves to travel or would rather stay closer to home, we've got you covered with our top 20 Father's Day events spanning all of Houston - from Kemah to The Woodlands and back. There are even some out-of-town experiences that you won't want to miss! Father's Day also falls on Juneteenth in 2022, so there are options to recognize two important events on one day.

While movie theaters will likely always be a mainstay in the fun activities department, Covid put a unique spin on the traditional cinematic experience by offering the drive-in movie theater a chance to shine again. Drive-in movies offer all the fun of a traditional movie experience with a retro twist; tickets are cheaper and often by the carload, some venues allow you to pop your own popcorn and bring your own snacks, and you get to enjoy a contactless cinematic experience. No more sitting behind loud patrons or being distracted by someone with their cell phone out.  It's no wonder these screenings in the Houston area are selling out at record pace! 

The drive-in movie theaters listed below are all confirmed open as of the publication date and offering a slew of movie screenings on a near daily basis. As other theaters reopen and pop-up drive-ins are added, we will add them to this list.

My family is a camping family. We also are a family that loves to book our weekends full of things to do, whether that's taking advantage of activities around Houston or traveling elsewhere. As our family has grown, we've gone from tent camping in Houston to trailer camping to RVs and tried out everything else possible in between. Camping in Texas is great fun, and we love finding new campgrounds to explore, especially campgrounds near Houston that we can easily get to after work on a Friday. Families can enjoy Texas State Park camping, Texas National Forest camping, and visiting private campgrounds.

Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Houston with FREE Ice Cream

Submitted by Rachael Cherry on Sun, 02/20/2022 - 8:24am

Come for the queso, stay for the ice cream at these Tex-Mex restaurants in Houston.

Taking the kids out to dinner can feel a lot like traveling with the circus; there's usually acrobatics occuring, it's really loud, and there may even be some ill-timed magic tricks. Because of this, eating out is something that we do sparingly, but we all know that sometimes you just need someone else to cook for the night. When that happens, our default choice is Tex-Mex. Free chips, fresh tortillas, gooey queso, and a side of guacamole... Tex-Mex is food heaven for kids! But the Tex-Mex restaurants on our list don't stop there—they also have another perk: free ice cream! 

For more restaurant recommendations, check out our Houston Kid-Friendly Restaurants Guide.
