It’s exciting to be behind the gates of NASA. Living in Space (an insider’s look at the space </div><div>shuttle), Blast Off and the NASA Tram Tour with a glimpse of Mission Control are just a few of the </div><div>ways to experience great moments in space exploration. Kids have their own space-theme play area. </div><div>Downtown Aquarium, right in the middle of downtown, was a redevelopment project that combined </div><div>two historic landmarks for an indoor-outdoor attraction. It amplifies the story of the region’s aquatic </div><div>and historical details. In addition to 200 species of marine life examples in 500,000 gallons of water, </div><div>exhibits bring to life the look, sounds and creatures of the Louisiana swamp, a sunken 17th Century </div><div>Spanish galleon, and the Gulf of Mexico waters as seen by off-shore rig divers. The restaurant has </div><div>spectacular views of the aquarium and downtown Houston. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Houston Museum of Natural Science beautifully organizes a wide variety of the planet’s animals </div><div>and natural world. Captivating exhibits of paleontology (fossils), geology and drilling, chemistry, gems </div><div>and minerals, rare and spectacular shells, Texas wildlife and African wildlife anchor the museum. </div><div>Option ticket: The Houston Zoo is home to 4,500 exotic animals representing more than 800 </div><div>species, including Spectacled Bears (the South American answer to pandas), Indochinese Tigers, </div><div>African lions and an exciting small mammals exhibit. Kids pop out of prairie dog domes in play, or </div><div>getting a close look at the solitary okapi, who lives alone and come together only to mate in the zoo’s </div><div>40-exhibit Children’s Zoo. </div><div><br></div><div>Option ticket: Kemah Boardwalk - the perfect getaway! Enjoy amusement rides, nine waterfront </div><div>restaurants, shopping, midway games, live entertainment and weekend festivals.
