Sights

A city of Houston [1]’s size offers countless attractions, most of them cultural in nature. The Museum District is a loose collection (not logically planned, but what in Houston is?) of facilities dedicated to art, science, and children’s sites located just southwest of downtown.

The urban core features occasional historic buildings and theaters among the modern skyscrapers, and the city boasts several offbeat spots outside of town worth checking out for fun, including the folk-art wonder of the Orange Show [2], the historically significant state park featuring the San Jacinto Battleground [3] site and the Battleship Texas, and family-oriented attractions like the Houston Zoo [4].
