Looking to travel to the Houston/Galveston area and want to catch a few “educational” fun hotspots on your trip?
Have I got the list for you!
Houston and Galveston both have amazing tourist hotspots but not many know of all the great fun and educational places we have to offer as well!
Here are my top 15 Must See Fun and Educational Spots in the Houston/Galveston area!
