    How we do.
    Jason D.

    This is my go to place for a run. I haven't gotten into the memorial loop yet. Rice is more convenient. It's a great 5k gravel loop that circles Rice University. The downside is that there are only two water fountains on the course. I would like one on each of the four legs of the route. I don't drink much when I run, but in this heat, it's necessary for many. The Brian O'Neil's Running Club also runs out here every Tuesday evening. It's a good community event. This is an excellent track, with a decent amount of flow. Never too crowded. And close to the bars :)

    The path surrounding the hedges that envelope Rice University is a great place to have a measured run. It is right at 3 miles, it's flat, and fellow path users are polite and (for the most part) follow the rules of the road. You get a peek inside the beautiful Rice campus, see the grandeur of the homes across Rice Street and Sunset Boulevard, have the grassy vista towards Hermann Park, and get a bit of a flavor of how busy the medical district is. It's not something you'll find in the central part of many large metropolitan areas.

    10 miles easy..

    I haven't ever parked on Rice property, I usually park at Hermann Park and cross the street at Sunset to get on the trail.

    we had no idea what this place was when we pulled into the parking lot we're just curious because…read moreof the colors of the building. My 8-year-old daughter and I went in. the waiting room alone was definitely something to see. even though the tickets were slightly expensive at the time they have gone down since then by half. we started to walk through the exhibit I was floored. the amount of time effort and energy and creativity the people that put this together did in this space is far from just saying its amazing! ITS FREAKING PHENOMENAL! Each exhibit is well thought out and they are all awesome photo ops. We had a blast! A year later I took my 17-year-old son. The price went down but also some of the exhibits were gone. I was informed that they were building something else in place of, but was disappointed because a couple of my favorite exhibits were now missing. the rain room was awesome, but it's gone now. I think they should bring it back because walking through a rainstorm and not getting a single drop of rain on you is mind blowing. The fact that I can bring both of my children with huge age gaps and interests and both of them found this place to be interesting,fun and unforgettable is really all that has to be said.

    It was an enjoyable experience. Lots of opportunities to take really neat pictures and videos…read more However, it's definitely a one and done kind of place, particulxarly if you're not a parent. It took my friends and I approx. 45 mins., at most to walk through the entire place. And that's with us thoroughly exploring every nook and cranny. Kids will definitely have a blast here and will most likely spend more time playing with all the sensory effects but for my friends and I, we will most likely not visit again. Note: Adult admission fee is $34.99 + tax and child admission fee is $24.99 + tax.
