Downtown Aquarium
410 Bagby St, Houston, TX 77002
Part aquarium, part amusement park: a 500,000-gallon tank, white tigers, a Ferris wheel, and a restaurant surrounded by fish. Touristy, and kids love it.
Insider tip
The adventure pass is only worth it if you'll ride everything. Weekday evenings are quietest.
