    Agreed on Fort Worth. The museums are incredible.

    And what are some beaches that are good outside of Florida? If they're on the west coast and not in Mexico they are void.

    Scooter rental places up and down the streets is what Allen and Kirby envisioned all those years ago.

    Fort Worth doesn't want to be part of "DFW". Nowadays, the population explosion is heading to the Fort Worth area and west of it - which is saying something with the weather that cuts through there during Spring.

    From what little I've seen on a few trips, Granbury and Grapevine are nice places.

    eta: I was born in Wichita Falls, which is/was possibly the shittiest of DFW regional shitholes. We moved to Houston when I was 1 or so.

    Grapevine is pretty cool. Not sure about Granbury. But all those "small suburbs" that were cool are all crowded and trafficky now.

    I'll always love Houston. I've lived here all my life, but outside of the club scene (which I've never really been into), what other fun things are there? I mean the Museum District is okay but dated. I have small kids now so if we want to do fun things, we have to travel.

    “Houston’s hottest kid activity… is Mini Mayhem.”

    This place has everything: toddler-sized boats, bug parades, and a puppet that definitely has “seen things.”

    If you need unique things to do specifically with young children in Houston, I’ve got just the thing.

    There’s this place… it’s called The Children’s Museum “Tot Spot.” It’s like a VIP club but for babies. Soft blocks, climbing tubes, and that one kid who’s already training for American Ninja Warrior: Preschool Edition.

    Then take them to Levy Park’s Children’s Pavilion — it has a giant climbing dome, musical instruments you can bang on without getting banned, and a reading room where your toddler pretends to “read” while actually chewing on a book about turtles.

    For the tiny engineers: Houston Area Live Steamers Public Run Days. It’s a whole park of rideable miniature trains driven by retired men named things like Chuck and Big Denton. Kids ride around like they’re the CEO of Small Railroad, Inc.

    Or bring them to Nature Discovery Center in Bellaire. It has hands-on science rooms, critter encounters, and volunteers who somehow know the name of every lizard in Houston. Kids love the “Chirpy Bird Garden,” which is like Coachella for robins.

    For Messy Baby Energy™: Color Factory Bubbles Experience (rotating). Entire rooms filled with interactive art that’s basically, “What if we gave toddlers permission to touch everything?”

    Then there’s The Woodlands Children’s Museum, which has a toddler pretend-town where they can run a grocery store, fix a car, and do taxes—poorly.

    For animal lovers: Downtown Aquarium’s Stingray Reef — you can pet stingrays that feel like wet pancakes. Kids scream with joy. Adults scream for different reasons.

    And finally— Houston’s most exclusive toddler hotspot: Blessington Farms’ Jump Pad. It’s a giant inflatable pillow in the middle of a field. Kids bounce. Parents bounce. Everyone questions physics.

    What's the Children's Museum like these days? Downtown Library?

    But otherwise, I cannot like this post enough times.
