Houston, Texas can be accurately described as one of the more “child friendly’ cities in the US. There is a wealth of attractions for family activities. These range from the Houston Children-s Museum to local parks and activity centers. There is no reason for a child to be bored in Houston.

Major attractions in Houston include four water parks, four rodeo facilities, the San Jacinto Battlefield, and the Battleship Texas. This does not include a number of special events such as the Art Car Parade and weekend expos at local shopping malls. There are beaches at Galveston, Texas City and The Kemah Boardwalk.Didn-t catch that? This explains it.

Day to day places for your children to play are just down the street in any Houston neighborhood. The city of Houston has over 350 parks, most with swimming pools and playground equipment. In the unincorporated county there are almost as many parks. These are also equipped with playground equipment, swimming pools, athletic fields and picnic areas. Biking trails are common in both the city and the county. The local neighborhoods are also park and playground heavy due to the investment of the homeowner-s associations. Children-s sports include Little League, Junior Soccer Leagues, and Pee Wee football.
