From space exploration, Texan history, art galleries, and shopping Houston supplies endless entertainment for every tourist. If you in Houston for a quick business trip you must make time to visit the famous NASA'S Johnson Space Center. Here you can explore the old Mission Control Room, the Space Vehicle Mockup facility, and you may even see real astronauts training for upcoming missions! The next day you should head Downtown and visit the Sam Houston Park. This park is dedicated to Houston's history and includes Victorian-style homes, a pre-Texas revolution cabin and the Kellum-Noble House.
Houston also is great city for viewing art and for endless shopping. For instance, check out the Menil Collection in the Montrose neighborhood for a breathtaking collection of prehistoric artifacts, Greco-Roman antiquities, and contemporary art. The shopping in Houston is also quite spectacular. Have a fun-filled day shopping at the renowned Galleria. Located just west of Montrose, The Galleria affords a unique shopping experience with glass skylights and over 375 designer shops.
