The Dr. Seuss Experience Brings Iconic Books to Life for Houston Kids

Submitted by Vicky Yip on Wed, 05/19/2021 - 10:59pm

Dr. Seuss takes over George R. Brown Convention Center.

After a year when "we sat in the house and did nothing at all," we were all about ready for the Cat in the Hat to turn up—thank goodness Dr. Seuss is paying a visit to Houston!

Almost every child has read at least one Dr. Seuss book, so every child is likely to love visiting The Dr. Seuss Experience. Familiar characters and settings make up the colorful and zany installations themed on some of Dr. Seuss’ most iconic tales. It’s as if the books have come to life; and our family had an amazing time walking through them.

After much anticipation, the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center has finally unveiled its brand new Nature Playscape. Envisioned in the Arboretum's master plan years ago, the new play area is unlike a traditional playground; this play space is inspired by nature and designed to complement the surrounding vegetation. Native Texas flora is incorporated throughout the playground, growing lush and vibrant along the winding walkways.

The individual climbing structures and the various sections of the park are created with natural materials like logs, wood, and rope, that blend in nicely with the surrounding landscape. Best of all, this exciting new Nature Playscape is yet another attraction that visitors of the Houston Arboretum can enjoy for free.

Summer fun in Houston is not complete without a visit to an amusement park or water park. Between the epic roller coasters and high-flying swings at amusement parks, and the slippery slides and raft rides at water parks, Houston area theme parks have enough thrills and spills to keep kids cool all summer long.

If you'd rather stay indoors at the peak of our hot summer months, you could check out Guide to Indoor Fun for Houston Kids. Or maybe you'd prefer to splurge on a local resort with a great pool. But for good old-fashioned summer thrills, there is nothing like the Texas amusement parks below.

Who knew there was an ultra-easy overnight camping option for Houston families inside the loop? The Nature Discovery Center in Bellaire has launched Campfire Nights—a way to experience the great outdoors without leaving the city. Gather a group of no more than 10 people for an evening of staff-led outdoor activities that include night hiking, animal encounters, and plenty of s'mores. Stay for the overnight package, and you can cozy up in sleeping bags and tents right on the lawn, waking up to donuts and coffee waiting in the morning.
