Space Exploration
Houston is home to NASA's Johnson Space Center, where astronauts train and control real space missions. The famous words 'Houston, we have a problem' came from here!
Parks & Nature
Hermann Park and the Houston Arboretum give families miles of trails, gardens, and ponds to explore. Buffalo Bayou Park is great for biking and spotting birds along the water.
