by LaVar Robinson
- Houston Museum of Natural Science – Science itself is interesting and has always fascinated me. The thing I love the most about this place is there is something to astonish everyone at all ages. I look forward to seeing the new exhibits each time I go.
- Discovery Green – It truly gives downtown that family atmosphere and brings vitality to this great city. Whether you’re into exercising, kayaking or just relaxing in a serene setting, it’s definitely the place to be any day of the week.
- Miller Outdoor Theater – I love that there are so many unique concerts and shows. It’s always a great time to sit back and enjoy the scene on a summer night.
- Top Golf – The energy here is awesome. It’s the perfect combination of food, family and fun.
- Splash Town – I love taking my kids and wife here in the summer. There’s just no better way to cool off during those blazing hot days in Houston.
