Houston Museum of Natural Science-Sugar Land

October 11, 2016 By Callie Leave a Comment

I have to start off by saying when we set out on this fun playdate I completely went to the wrong museum. I ended up driving to the children’s museum,getting out, going in and waiting by all the toys for our friends to show up. I was winning. I was on time, no tantrums and then crickets. Turns out I was at the wrong museum. She had three and I have one so I had to be the one to try and pry those toys away and leave. I didn’t blame her for the tantrum. It was my fault. Honestly I was amazed we even got out of there. Why did I go to the wrong museum because this little gem in Sugar Land is easily looked over!

I got lost trying to find it and went in circles. We finally made it and honestly we had a blast. Only about twenty minutes from Katy, small and not crowded at all. The kids were able to easily walk around and explore on their own with us close behind. Honestly they just had a million times more freedom.

We stopped by the fish tanks and the dinosaurs! We went through the glowing rocks and up the elevator-where everyone got to push those buttons at least once. We made our way to special event number one-brick party. The entire room had different kinds of building toys at every table-and we were the only ones there! This was perfect for my engineer girl and there were benches for us moms to chat it up while they played.

After the brick party we walked through interactive displays and another dinosaur area!

We finally made our way down to special event number two a dinosaur dig. It was awesome. The kiddos could go in an excavate with shovels, pails and brushes.

The Museum of Natural History in Sugar Land is a smaller extension of the Houston museum by the same name. The building is a converted jail house with tons of history. It’s mellow and fun and plenty to do not far from home. How did we not know about this earlier!

Houston Happenings-Dinosaurs at The Zoo

September 13, 2016 By Callie Leave a Comment

So many fun things are happening at our local zoo. The Houston Zoo runs a wide variety of special events throughout the year and their current event is Dinosaurs alive.

We live in a house of dinosaur lovers-both myself and Row-Dinosaurs ROAR! I put this event on my list but didn’t want to go during the dead heat of summer and the craziness of out of school time.

The Dinosaurs exhibit requires and additional ticket-for members it was $4.95 per person and included unlimited carousel rides. Which was awesome because carousel rides are normally $2. We prepared to see those dinos and ride in circles to our hearts content.

The exhibit was really cool. The dinosaurs were animatronic and they had a large variety as you walked through the exhibit.

Now we are animatronic snobs because we are Disney regulars and these dinos did not disappoint.

There were plenty of babies.

Oh and favorites.

And a grand finale!

This one is not to be missed and has been extended until October 2-make sure you get there.

Ma Jest Kids Playland

Houston,TX

Ahhh summer and it already feels like it’s 100 outside-yikes. I keep putting jeans on to go outside like I have forgotten we live at the threshold of Hades temperature wise! We have fun the cutest little place over in Sugar Land to beat the heat and help Mama keep sane. Majest Kids!

Majest Kids is located in Sugar Land, TX and it’s right off the freeway so super easy to find. This place is just for littles so 5 and under only. This is great for us because sometimes big kids being everywhere, especially in the summer can be overwhelming for littles uhem and me.

You simply sign in, sign a waiver-they actually will archive your waiver so you only need to fill it out once. You pay your free-for the littles only, they mark both parent and child with ultraviolet stamps and you’re in. You can actually stay all day!

There are many different play areas and the best part there are chairs, benches, and couches everywhere for caregivers to sit and watch. There’s a cute mini pillow jumper for kids to bounce on and a section of mega foam blocks for building. Row stayed there for quite awhile.

My fav part was the jump pit filled with Styrofoam squares but mini sized.

There are bathrooms on site, nice, clean bathrooms. They also have a dimmed room with changing tables for the littliest guests. I also saw two party rooms. They alos sell diapers and wipes! SMART! Oh and socks since you have to take your shoes off-so bring a pair for littles and grownups.

They also have a complete mini cafe with healthy options and fun options and we had a pizza made to order-sadly no Dr. Pepper-wah wah.

It was so fun and I love that you can stay all day and have lunch if you want. Great for play dates and it wasn’t overcrowded at all! Happy air conditioning.

Do you have a fun place you’d like to share? Leave me a comment-I’d love to go!
