I thought I might be asking for trouble taking my grandchildren to stay at a swanky Houston hotel, but our stay at Hotel Zaza in the Museum District paid off. We were going to see Ramses the Great & The Gold of the Pharaohs, a world premiere exhibition at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I invited my daughter and the grandkids to go with me to see the exhibit, and they were so excited. The anticipation is almost as much fun as the actual trip with children. Dakota, my 6-year-old granddaughter — who knows way more about Tutankhamun, Egypt, and the pyramids than I do — will probably wear her Cleopatra (Halloween) costume. Four-year-old Hank won’t be far behind. He will want to wear his plastic dinosaur head when we visit the Morian Hall of Paleontology.
We hit the Houston highlights mostly near our hotel during our 3-day weekend. Here are some fun things to do in Houston with the grandkids.
