Houston apartments offer you the best in amenities and location, but you can't exactly step into your backyard and run through the sprinklers on a sweltering July day! You might love everything about the property you call home, inside and out, but let's face it: sometimes you just have to GET OUT! Houston summers can be pretty steamy, so we've put together a list of five fun destinations for you, your friends and your family designed to keep the smiles on your face and the sweat off your back. Houston recreation is waiting outside your front door - we'll take you there!
The Museum District: No matter what the season, Houston's Museum District is a great place to spend a day (or three!) when the outside temps are too hot to handle. If you already happen to live in one of the museum district apartments, Houston is already ready and waiting when those hot days of summer come along. Take a day and stay cool - catch an IMAX movie, take in a new exhibit at one of the art museums or bone-up on some history at the natural sciences museum. You can find a complete map of the Houston Museum District here and even more information on this website.
The Houston Galleria: Why not take to the ice when you need to stay cool in the summer? Pop over to the Houston Galleria indoor skating rink! No matter if you're nimble on skates or not. This is a fun destination for people of any age. Laugh with friends, take the kids skating for the first time or giggle with a date. For a mere $8 admission and $3.50 for skate rental, you can't beat a cool afternoon (or an entire day!) inside on ice. The greta news it that it's next to the food court so you have plenty of options when you're done gliding. For more information, visit the Polar Ice Galleria website.
Splashtown: If you hop in the car and head just north of Houston, you'll find summer fun - and it has a parking lot. Splashtown is one of the largest water parks in Houston and is easy access from The Woodlands, Conroe, Humble, Champions and all of central Houston. If you're a bit further away, what's an hour drive for a day filled with water slides and wave pools? If you're looking for discount coupons, try a Houston-area Wendie's location, grocery store or your local credit union. Not only will the coupons make it easier on the wallet, but you'll have more change for a hot dog and a soda! For more information about Splashtown, visit their website.
