My children are 11 and 15. Please, need some help with entertainment for them. I don't want to hear " I'm Bored" for a week. HELP !!!!

Answer 1

Katy is my place...Go to the Katy Mills Mall, it's huge and has Realistic Car racing, Laser tag, A cool Jungle theme restaurant Rain forest cafe,with huge robotic animals and a wonderful theater, it's a great place for adults and kids to play and shop. www.katymills.com

Also you can go to Downtown Houston Aquarium about 30 min. away it's a all day deal and the kids will love it mine do! www.downtownaquarium.com Also on the katy freeway (i-10) going south towards Houston on the left about 20 min. away is Vans indoor skateboard park that is attached to a huge indoor arcade play park restaurant, pool hall, dance clubs all okay for kids until like 10pm when kids have to leave plus theater/shopping there too, another all dayer, they'll love that place too!Good luck and try to arrange all activities to end by 3:30pm to avoid traffic on i-10going into Katy and in the morning going toward Houston either before 8am or after 9:30am . Lots of road construction there on the Katy freeway, it's confusing even for residence, give your self plenty of time & Tylenol. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!

Answer 2

It relies upon on the age of the youngsters - Pre-okay to center - certainly the aquarium& the museum of technology - the two are super- whale pay attention of Boston is relaxing if no person gets seasick - placed on your sunscreen!-walk the North end - get an Italian pastry and espresso or flow to dinner there- see if there's a pageant there once you're right here- the duck excursions are ok, crimson sox tickets are problematical to get and $$$$, in case you may get out of city, flow to the two the North Shore or the South to flow to the sea coast - or take the ferry holiday over to Provincetown - a different place.

The Hermann Park Zoo in Houston is rated one of the best in the country. Admission is not too high, but watch out for the concession stands/restaurants.
