Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.
Common questions about historic sites in Houston
How many historic sites are there in Houston?
We list 4 historic sites within 82 miles of Houston, TX. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.
Which historic sites in Houston publish their prices?
3 of the 4 here do, and each price was checked word for word against the venue's own page before we published it. The rest do not publish one, so their card says no price listed rather than carrying a guess.
Are any historic sites in Houston free?
Yes. One place gets you in free: Lake Jackson Historical Association.
How did Mini Navigators choose these historic sites?
We list every one we have within 82 miles of the center of Houston. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.
Do adults have to pay?
It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. 3 of the 4 on this page publish a price at all, so call ahead about the adult rate before you rely on it.
Do I need to book ahead?
Grounds are often walk-in, but guided tours and house interiors sell out and some sites close in winter. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.
What should I bring?
Comfortable shoes, water and a layer for the weather. Much of a visit is outdoors and on uneven ground. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.
What else is there to do with kids in Houston?
Houston has 21 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Houston hub lists all of them.
