Houston has been tied to the American space program from the early days of manned space flight. Opened in 1963, the Johnson Space Center continues today as the nations focal point for space exploration. The Center is also a wonderful tourist destination offering museums, movie theaters and even the opportunity to learn what it is like to live in space. For a somewhat more traditional tourist experience, join the nearly seven million culture-seekers who annually visit Houstons Museum District. Here you will find the Museum of Fine Arts, featuring classic art, a sculpture garden and the Bayou Bend exhibit of uniquely American art. For the lover of non-traditional art, there is the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. This is not only a fun place to visit, but it also provides free admission. The Museum District is also home to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Located in Herman Park, this museum has plenty to experience, including a planetarium, IMAX Theater and even a butterfly center. While you are in Herman Park, be sure to stop by the Houston Zoo. With over 4,500 permanent wildlife residents, you are sure to see something new and exciting. Live performances are so much a part of Houston life that the city has its own Theater District. Here you will find the second largest concentration of theater seats in a downtown area in the country. If you love the classics, attend the Houston Ballet or the Houston Symphony. You can even enjoy Broadway in Houston, with many of your favorite shows and perhaps something new and exciting. Houston is known for having some unique tourist attractions. For example, you can take a 90-minute boat tour of Houston Harbor, one of the busiest harbors in the world, and see huge supertankers up close. Also unique is the Downtown Aquarium. Part restaurant, part aquarium and part amusement park, this is a great place to spend the day with the family.FROM US ROUTE 59 SOUTH, TAKE THE SHEPHERD/GREENBRIAR EXIT TRAVEL ON THE SERVICE ROAD APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE HOTEL WILL BE ON THE RIGHT FROM US ROUTE 59 NORTH, TAKE THE SHEPHERD/GREENBRIAR EXIT U-TURN ONTO THE FRONTAGE ROAD TRAVEL APPROXIMATELY 50 YARDS HOTEL WILL BE ON THE RIGHT
