They have multiple things that kids can do and my child loved to play at the mini HEB. They have an art area and lots of spots for imaginative play. It's smaller than the one in the med center, but I like that because it's not too overwhelming for my child. Definitely recommend.

The boys had an absolute blast at the Fort Bend Children's Discovery Center! From the moment we…read morewalked in, they were off exploring every corner. There are around 14-15 different interactive play areas, and each one lets kids use their imagination in a different way. Their favorite was Kidtropolis, where they got to explore a mini city complete with a bank, grocery store, mechanic shop, school, diner, veterinary clinic, police station, science center, art/paint station, and so much more. It was so much fun watching them role-play and learn while they played. We spent several hours there, and they still weren't ready to leave! I also appreciated how hands-on everything was--there's something for kids with all kinds of interests. If you're looking for an affordable way to keep little ones entertained while sneaking in some educational play, I definitely recommend checking this place out. We'll absolutely be back for another adventure!

This SL location was definitely a lot smaller than we thought it'd be. Free parking. We went for a…read morespecial "block" party exhibit that turned out to have various block building areas and was quite a small area for a special ticketed event and you weren't allowed to go back in the area once you walk out which we didn't know. They had an area with science interactive areas that was free and an area with dinosaur history. I'd recommend if you want a bigger full experience to check out the main location one in the museum district as this SL one is quite small.

I visited the Museum of Natural Science in Sugar Land for a work fun event and enjoyed the day…read more This location is affiliated with the main campus downtown in the Museum District, offering a much smaller slice of history in the suburb of Sugar Land. Members can use their pass at either location. This location is actually ironically located in a fairly simplistic brick building that used to house a prison of all things. Parking is free. Inside there are just a few exhibits including life science, hall of technology, a special salt exhibit, hall of paleontology, space hall, and a few other exhibits that required a special extra fee like a dig pit. The exhibits are somewhat small but almost all have an interactive component which can be great for small kids. Part of our event included a very short tour of the second floor and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. I work in a very different type of industry so this was really refreshing to see. They do have private meeting rooms that can be reserved which made it easy to have some meeting events in addition to time to wonder the exhibits. Overall, I enjoyed the day and glad that I got the opportunity to "be a kid again." If you're in the area it's definitely worth checking out. If you're far away however, I am not sure that I would make a special drive.

Car collecting also led to collecting neon signs, old gas pumps and just about anything nostalgic relating to antique cars. There is even a dinner that looks like something from American Graffiti! They are located in Brookshire, Texas just north of I-10. You have to make a reservation to go and when we went there is a $10 entry fee but the owner donates all the entry fees collected to local charities in the area. Plan on spending a few hours there, take your time and walk around, lots to look at and signs explaining the history of most of the items.

It has a different play setups than another one we go to in Ft Worth but they love that one too.

It's never…read moretoo busy and even when there are other families, there's enough space and stations for everyone to spread out. It's very clean and organized. All their set ups are so cute and there are plenty of learning stations for kids too. It's a great variety of stations for all kinds of interests. They give you a token to redeem for a free snack at the end of your visit which my kiddo loves every time we come here. The staff is always very friendly too. The only thing I don't love is that you have to make a reservation for the play session you want and it's not that long. I can understand that it's probably for the purpose of cleaning in between sessions and regulating the amount of people coming in but I think for the price it should be longer play times. I also wish there was a membership option. But other than that we still love it here.

My experience at the museum was great. Not only because of all of the things that you can see but…read moremainly because of Brett, the tour guide. He made my visit really worthy. There's so much to learn about everything inside but without history things are just things. He is pretty knowledgeable and I'm just crazy about going back with my children. If possible, when visiting, ask for someone who can explain you a bit of the museum that will completely change the perspective.

The gentleman at the door was so nice. He showed the movie" Tomboy and the champ". It was a good movie. Sadly, I didn't have time and had to leave at the screen. Sorry. I walked around the exhibitions. This was all about the rice industry in the Katy area. I was born in Asia. Rice is a staple in our culture. It was so intriguing that I checked many of the readings. I asked the man at the door about the history of rice in Katy. He told me " Probably, German immigrants brought rice here". I guessed that the Japanese taught how to grow rice in Texas. I was wrong. Anyway, the Johnny Nelson museum is great. You will learn about the rice industry in Katy, Texas.

Each room was exciting - although for the price the staff could make the experience a little better for the children. More interactive in my opinion. I do not recommend purchasing the scavenger hunt, that was a waste of money for the 'prize' the kids get at the end. It wasn't an interactive experience for the kids - there wasn't any guidance at all from the staff. Being able to get all of the photos for free with the barcode was a sweet deal and having the photo booths in each room was the best part!

Tickets are timed so that the experience is not crowded. The museum is a fun and interactive experience. It consists of holograms and optical illusions. A vortex tunnel that you have to walk to that definitely made me lose my balance. Brain teasers, infinity rooms, trick photography and other cool ways to challenge one's perception could be found throughout the museum. Overall, the museum isn't very big, but it's definitely entertaining and a unique way to spend the afternoon, especially on a rainy day. I definitely enjoyed the experience.

It is little hidden but it didn't take long to find it after lookin at the directory. We didn't book tickets ahead of time but it was easy to scan the QR code and purchase them on the spot. Age 4 & under are free. It is a self paced museum and there are several staff throughout which help you with various installations & how to position for the best photo op. They even have stools for the little ones. The exhibit is fun for all ages which is nice when you have kids at various ages & definitely enjoyable for adults! Our favorite were astronaut picture mirror illusion, spinning tunnel & life size 3D pin art impression wall. There are a lot of fun photo ops in an upside space shuttle room and when you flip the picture upside, it creates a cool effect. There are a lot of cool things we also picked up in the gift shop at the end. I highly recommend this museum for families! My kids were already wanting to go back as we were leaving!
