The Museum of Fine Arts is one of 19 museums located in the museum district in Houston. It…read moreencompasses 3 buildings each with several floors. They are connected via underground tunnels. 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.

Took advantage of Free Museum Thursday, and it was absolutely worth it! If you're looking for a…read morebudget-friendly outing, this is the perfect time to explore. There were plenty of amazing exhibits to see in the free galleries, and parking was only $10. I decided to upgrade my ticket for an additional $10 to access the special exhibits, and it was money well spent. The extra exhibits added so much more to the experience! Whether you're into art, history, or just looking for something fun to do, this is definitely a great way to spend a Thursday. Highly recommend checking it out!

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!

Other things you should know about the Space Center: -It's a huge campus, and the museum itself is only a small portion. -My wife went 15 years ago, and it's gotten a LOT better apparently. So if you haven't been in a decade or more, give it another shot. -They don't have much pertaining to the recent Artemis mission. We went as the astronauts were heading around the moon, but we didn't see any current info. -It's great for kids, especially over the age of six or so. -You should book some tours in advance. By the time we got up there, most things were sold out except Rocket Park. -Rocket Park is still cool. The sheer size of the Saturn is incredible. Take the little trolley and say hi to the longhorns. -The Food Lab (the food court) is hit or miss. The salad bar was surprisingly great, and the pizza is abysmal. DO NOT GET THE PIZZA. -You should go in with an open mind, ready to learn. That goes for everything, not just the Space Center. -You know where astronauts hang out? At the space bar.

Everything was well organized and the turnout was pretty good. There were two groups, one for juniors and one for (young) adults, for fairness. Another thing I liked was that everyone got 3 extra packs instead of awarding it based on wins, given we're playing with pre-con decks + 4 packs that are all random. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, shout-out to Bryan (the general manager?) and the official judge for the event. Plus I had a great conversation with him and Michael(?) about MTG; they're definitely very passionate about board & card games. They have anti-scalping policies in place for Pokemon. As for the space itself, decent amount of parking (more in the back). They're very popular for Warhammer, so there's a ton of product for those who play, and several tables set-up with many people playing all afternoon next to us (the 'playing hall' is pretty large!). They also have an aisle with board games for sale, and a counter with TCG products. Restrooms are spacious and clean. All in all, The Forge is pretty much all you can ask for in a LGS; they're also independently owned! I wish I live closer, but I'll definitely be here again soon!

I received two floral arrangements on the same day as a surprise gift and, unfortunately, the…read morequality did not meet expectations. While I truly appreciate the gesture, the arrangements themselves appeared poorly constructed and lacked attention to detail. Several of the flowers looked wilted or past their prime at the time of delivery, which raises concerns about freshness and overall quality control. The designs felt sparse and unbalanced, without the fullness or intentional composition typically expected from a professional florist. Based on the condition and presentation, the value does not align with what was likely paid. For comparison, I have consistently seen fresher and more thoughtfully arranged flowers from local grocery stores such as Kroger and HEB at a significantly lower price point. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as there is clear opportunity to improve both product quality and arrangement standards. At this time, I would not recommend based on my experience.
