About HoustonWith a state as big as Texas, it may seem like there’s so much to do and so little time. Over on the southeast side of the state, you’ll find that Houston has so much to see and do. For starters, head over to Minute Maid Park and watch the former World Series Champion Houston Astros play. The stadium is always packed, and they’re a great team to watch.
Take the kids to SplashTown which is Houston’s biggest waterpark with over two million gallons of water. From water slides to water coasters, SplashTown has it all. Kemah Boardwalk is roughly 20 minutes outside of downtown Houston, and is a great time for a night out. From Ferris wheels and a variety of different rides, concessions and more.
With a links-style layout, Wildcat Golf Club provides a fantastic golf experience day-in and day-out. The Houston Chronicle voted Wildcat Golf Club as one of the Top 3 clubs in the city, as well as one of the Top 5 courses recommended for out-of-towners.
