1. Make a Splash at Typhoon Texas Water Park: Here in Texas, we generally enjoy some pretty great weather, but even we have to admit that summers can get a little hot. Fortunately, there’s an easy (and fun) way to cool off at this nearby mecca of water fun! Ride the Lazy T River, lounge in Tidal Wave Bay, or watch the kids have an absolute blast in the Gully Washer!
2. Celebrate at the Red, White & Boom 4th of July Event: Not everything happening around Richmond is going on all summer long, so mark your calendars for this fantastic—and family-friendly—event at Crown Festival Park in Sugarland, TX. There’ll be music, food, plenty of vendors, and, of course, a show-stopping fireworks display to celebrate our nation’s independence!
3. Take a Trip Through Time at the Fort Bend Museum: Learning can be fun, even if the kids don’t always believe that. Fortunately, you don’t have to tell them that the Fort Bend Museum in Richmond, TX is educational. All they need to know is that it’s an amazing trip through all kinds of Texas history that they’ll find surprisingly cool—especially in the air conditioning.
4. Get Your Groove on at Live Music Night in Central Green Park: Who doesn’t love some good music under the stars? Grab your dancing shoes and a picnic blanket and come out to Live Music Night at Central Green Park on July 15th. A concert featuring Jonah Miles begins at 8 PM. While this is a one-night-only event, the park has a lot of great family-friendly events all summer long, including family movie nights, storytime events, and other live music, so check the park’s events listing for more fun things to do!
5. Discover the TreeHouses at the Houston Museum of Natural Science: This is a special event that’s running through September 4th at the Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS). Kids and grown-ups alike will love roaming from tree to tree in this indoor forest canopy, exploring the many habitats that trees provide, and coming face-to-face with all kinds of wildlife.
