We parked our car at the South Fannin Metro Train Station and took the train to the Museum District. Our children are 4 & 6 and we knew that getting to the place could be more exciting than even the Children's Museum. We were right the kids loved the Metro Rail ride the BEST!!

The Museum District offers a lot of variety. Make a day of it - take a picnic lunch to Hermann Park, walk to the museums, and hit the Zoo, all in a day.

As I mentioned when reviewing the Museum of Fine Arts, this Museum District is a must see and should not be missed. I never understood when some people say Houston does not have pretty parts of the city...have they not been here?
