Houston Premium Outlets
Another outlet Mall - sorry guys
NASA - Johnson Space Center
Lots of fun Science activities!! Everything from space to the body, and they've always got something new
The Kemah Boardwalk

Sometimes they have music events as well so be sure to check their site! Paradise Island and Kemah Boardwalk sometimes have packaged deals. Also, check groupon
Baybrook Mall
Another Large shopping Mall - about the size of the galleria, no skating but not as bad traffic
Tanger Outlet
Outdoor Outlet mall
Carnival Freedom Port
Carnival usually leaves on Sundays if you want to extend your weekend by going abroad via a ship! (Or giant floating party island is what it feels like!)
Royal Caribbean International-Cruise Terminal 2
Another great option for extending your weekend into next
Pleasure Pier
Kemah and Pleasure Pier are owned by the same company. Pleasure Pier is an actual pier on the seawall (next to the the beach) that has quite a few fun rides and roller coasters.
Moody Gardens
This was part of one of our first dates. If you want to see the rainforest (Butterflies, monkeys, Leopards, Oh My!), the aquarium (sharks and penguins are the best!), the discovery center(changes all the time - basically an awesome museum) or all three, then head here! They also have an IMAX and a 4D theater as well as palm beach - great for elementary to junior high kids to have fun at a small water park.
Schlitterbahn Galveston
One of the best waterparks for all ages! Make sure to bring your lunch, coolers and food are free to bring in!
BayWatch Dolphin Tours
This is great fun, lasts about 45 minutes, and you can find coupons on their site.
Beach!
While our beach is not of the Caribbean variety, it is clean and there are 32 miles worth of it. You probably won't be able to see your toes, but that is only because the Mississippi turns up the sand and it washes into Galveston. You can also take the Ferry to Crystal Beach.
Bishop's Palace 1892
This is a historic place, a museum really. One of our first dates and a favorite memory. There's a lot to learn about Galveston and history in this beautiful home.
Schlitterbahn New Braunfels
This one is even larger - It's basically 3 waterparks in one and uses the river water. If you are flying in, consider driving 3 hours here and flying out of San Antonio. If you're looking for something else to do in San Antonio there's always the Riverwalk, the Caverns of Austin, Seaworld and floating the river!
SeaWorld
Aqua, Zoo, Budweiser, and Theme park all in one! This is in San Antonio so it may be helpful to fly in to Houston and out of San Antonio or Austin or vice versa.
Six Flags
Water park and amusement park in San Antonio - Great for if you've flown or drove in from another state.
Float the river!
Float the Guadalupe river in San Antonio area, check Groupon. There are many businesses that do this, this is the one that worked best for a bunch of us college kids. We had a ton of fun doing this, it was absolutely gorgeous.
