The Children's Museum of Houston

The outside of this museum makes it quite clear to visitors who the target audience is: kids. The bright yellow pillars and block letters invite children inside to learn and play. There are nine galleries here in which children may participate in hands-on activities. Kids learn how to express themselves as well as learn modern skills such as how to use an ATM and how to shop like a pro.

This hands-on museum includes nine galleries that invite exploration by children. The Fondren Technikids Gallery illustrates everyday technology from magnets to car ignitions.

The Kid-TV Studio encourages children to try out their skills before the camera while the Roy and Lillie Cullen Investigations Gallery lets children learn the art of shopping, from use of a child-size automatic teller machine to gathering pretend eggs from a chicken coop.

Location: 1500 Binz in the Houston Museum District. T&C. 713-522-1138
