There is always something happening in the Museum District; great exhibitions, special openings, free or discounted admissions, festivals...There are special weekends where zones are highlighted with fun activities and shuttle service between the venues, along with great food trucks and sometimes live music. I have been many times to many different activities and have never been disappointed.

Loved the Rothko Chapel and the Menil Collection! There is something for every art lover in the world to enjoy!

Houston MFA, Contemporary Arts Museum, Children's Museum, Rothco Chapel...lots of museums in the vicinity and they are all nice. There's parking and you can walk from most to the rest. Nice.

We spent two days in the museum district. All conveniently located and no issues parking for free! Recommend the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Natural Science. They are about a mile apart. You could easily spend a week visiting all the museum's!

The museum district is easily accessed by the light rail from down town Houston to the medical center stop by rice university. The museum of natural science can keep adults and children busy for hours

Well, maybe you're better at stick shaking than I am, but the Museum District is very well put together. You can go from one fascinating museum to the other on foot. There are large museums for everyone and small ones for those with special interests. Restaurants are in easy reach to encourage a full day's outing.
