If you are searching for fun places to go with family near me in Houston, then this zoo is one of the best to visit with over 6,000 animals and the fabulous new Africa<\/a> exhibit. Throughout the year the zoo hosts a number of fun public and member only events.  We highly recommend Zoolights!!  Memberships are very economical and include a lot of perks, it\u2019s definitely worth considering if you think you\u2019ll be able to make it out a few times a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal Age Range:  This is one that\u2019s really pretty good for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.  Schlitterbahn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schilitterbahn Galveston features 35+ rides, a lazy river, surf experience, and a splash and play area for smaller children. Schilitterbahn is best place to visit<\/a> if you are searching for fun for family near me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal Age Range:  2+ (there are areas for smaller toddlers and if you need to bring an itty bitty you will find stuff to do but most of the park is geared toward preschoolers+)  If you have itty bitties we recommend checking out Palm Beach at Moody Gardens, it\u2019s a small waterpark geared towards little kids (still has Pina Coladas for mom and dad too.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the aquarium, rainforest, theater, and Palm Beach you\u2019re bound to find something of interest for your every member of your family.  A day at Moody Garden\u2019s can be a little pricey, if you plan on visiting several times<\/a> during the year it might be worth investing in an annual pass.  Around the holiday\u2019s<\/a> Moody Garden\u2019s festival of lights and ice exhibits are always a huge draw!  In the summer Palm Beach is a wonderful and surprisingly inexpensive water<\/a> park geared towards little ones. A weekend stay at the Hotel<\/a> at Moody Gardens can be wonderful one tank trip for you and your family to enjoy!  The hotel offers wonderful holiday buffets if you\u2019re looking for an excuse not to cook next Thanksgiving, Christmas or Mother\u2019s Day or things<\/a> to do as a family in houston!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal Age Range: all ages (a lot of the activities are indoors which can be great during our hot Houston summers!) You\u2019ll always see tons of strollers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located just outside of Houston in the Clear Lake<\/a> area (our fabulous neighborhood.) Kemah has several fun amusement rides including the Boardwalk Beast wooden roller coaster, the train is always a huge hit with the pre kids crowd. If you\u2019re not interested in the amusement park, their are tons of restaurants and play areas for the little kids. In the summer make sure you pack a swim suit so your little one\u2019s can play in the splash area. Throughout the year Kemah offers a variety of free and paid events and activities, their is always something going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal Age Range: all ages<\/p>\n\n\n\n
