Have you ever wondered why Houston is home to kids who grew up and became ballerinas, astronauts, or the President of the United States? There is so much in Houston for kids to do, and have fun learning at the same time! With some of the best museums in the country, the NASA Space Center, and many beautiful parks and playgrounds, it is easy to create a family adventure that is both fun and educational. Houston is a vacation destination with loads of accommodation choices, and finding a hotel to suit the wants and needs of your crew can seem a bit daunting. I did a little research and found five kid friendly budget hotels in Houston to make planning your trip a little easier.
