    ALL THINGS BRITISH ARE HERE!!! If you're going crazy for british stuff or being swept up in the Downton Abbey craze... Well give your best british accent a go, put on your knickers and get ready for tea time because you'll definitely have to give this place a whirl. They have everything from trinkets to snacks and candy, and even the whole Downton Abbey bear family!! The staff is very friendly and can help you locate anything you're looking for. The stuff is sort of pricey though...so prepare your wallet. Overall, it's just a neat place to explore if you're ever in Rice village!

    The most interesting and awesome store in Houston. A panoply of everything British (and Irish) for seasoned Anglophile and enthusiast outside Great Britain. It takes love to craft a store like this, with its incredible selection of goods that amaze me every time I visit. The employees are remarkably affectionate and beyond polite. Their memory in remembering me and our previous conversations astounds me; I feel like we're good acquaintances when I visit from out of town. Quite simply, my favorite store anywhere.

    Ask the Community - British Isles

    So y'all sell crisps aka chips?

    We do. Walkers, Tayto, Kent and other varieties are available for sale in the shop. We don't currently sell them online. Thanks for asking!

    Do you have ambrosia rice pudding or custard?

    We do, both online and in the shop. https://www.britishislesonline.com/search/ambrosia+devon/ Thanks for asking!

    Do they have Black Pudding?

    Hello Matt, We do sell black pudding. It's only available in the shop. Sometimes we sell out so you might want to check with the shop just before you come by. 713-522-6868… 

    Do you have pork sausage rolls?

    Yes! They are in our freezer section and are available for curbside pick up, delivery, or walk in to the store. Because they are frozen, we do not ship.

    Do they have mcvities Jaffa cakes?

    Sorry Josh, no McVities Jaffa Cakes at the moment. Only Jacob's. We have them sometimes and they sell through quickly. You can always check our website. We try to keep the online inventory current. www.britishislesonline.com

    Do they have timtams?

    Timtams are Australian, so why would they have them!? They don't have enchiladas either!

    Do they have Clotted cream in a jar?

    Yes! The secret is to ask for a jar, and we get it from our fridge in the back of our storage. The other secret is to put the clotted cream on the scone before adding the jam.

    Do they have, McVitie's Chocolate Penguins?

    Yes! We love these adorable biscuits. They can be found online, also: http://britishislesonline.com/mcvities-penguin-biscuits/

The concept of the three pyramids is cool, and the aquarium and rainforest pyramids were alright. They were still very small though, and did not showcase many interesting animals. The discovery pyramid was baffling as there is only a movie showing on the first floor and an extremely juvenile educational exhibit on the second floor. I can't believe there's an admission fee to enter just the discovery pyramid. We also saw the Dinos Alive exhibit, which was probably the most lame dinosaur exhibit I've seen. The 4D movie was catered to very young children. We got the after 4pm pass for $50 each, which includes access to all the attractions. We were done within two hours, even though we tried to stretch it out. We didn't do the ropes course/zipline or the waterpark though, but we saw that the waterpark is very small.

I love supporting the arts, and visiting the museum has become something of an annual tradition for me, especially during June and July. I usually go with friends or family, and it's always such a nice experience. I love the atmosphere. There's something about walking around, taking your time with the artwork, and just enjoying the space. I've also randomly met some of the greatest and most interesting people while we're all just there checking out the art. Whether you're really into art or just looking for something enjoyable to do in Houston, MFAH is absolutely worth visiting. It's one of those places that reminds me how much Houston has to offer.

Pricing for the museum is $24. There are several garages in the area to park at and parking is charged a hourly rate. Unfortunately I was short on time but was able to visit the Frida collection, Aztec civilization, and Islamic Art collections. All of the art work was unique. The Frida collection was extremely popular and that's where most of the museums visitors spent their time. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here and wish I had more time to explore. They do have several dining options at the museum including a Michelin star French restaurant, Le Jardinier. The menu looks great and looks like they had a lunch 2 course option there for $45.

One all-day ticket was a little over $30. I went midweek, it wasn't overly crowded despite being a Summer day. You can get your picture taken as you enter, the photos are available for purchase upon entering. I saved the samples on my phone, there's watermarks, but I'll make My experience of witnessing the collection of NASA astronaut suits, prototypes, and rockets at SCH will forever stay with me. I took a free tram tour to the astronaut training facility on the NASA campus and saw a few projects in development. Afterwards, I went to Rocket Park and observed the Saturn rocket. It's MASSIVE and incredibly impressive. I made my way back to SCH's main building and picked up a cold brew at Grounds Control a cute coffee shop inside a NASA food hall. Next, I saw a film called Moonwalkers inside SCH's large screening room. The room was filled with wall-to-wall light effects and imagery! Lastly, I bought loads of NASA merch like shirts, hats, magnets, and pins. The front lobby has incredible medallions, I bought one of each.

There were a handful of theatres for guests to sit in and experience various historical moments pertaining to space exploration. We only watched "Moon Walkers" narrated by Tom Hanks. Independence Plaza: A quick walk from the Space Center Museum. It is about 3-4 stories high with exhibits inside of it (air conditioned). A lot of the tram tours are a first come first served basis. We didn't go to all the tram stops (complimentary with your ticket), but we did stop at George W.S. Abbey Rocket Park Tour. It was cool to see! Parking: The parking is charged separately on top of the tickets.
