CityPass Marks First Anniversary in Houston with Special Hotel Packages

As America’s fourth largest city, Houston is dotted with diverse diversions. Visitors’ imaginations can soar at Space Center Houston or delve into the mysteries in the ocean’s depths at the downtown aquarium, and while one afternoon can be spent marveling at the man made masterpieces at the Museum of Fine Arts, the next day tourists can wonder at nature’s palette of colors on the feathers of a tropical bird at the Houston Zoo.
