My son and I can build stuff at Invention Convention all day. The best family entertainment value in Houston. There is so much here you can't do it all in one visit.
We went on a free night. So wasn't shocked that it was packed. My 17,4& 3 yr old had a blast....ok so did I! Beautifully set up, lots of fun things to do. We ate at the cafe & the food was yummy!
Park for free at the centennial gardens by Hermann Park. Kids should bring sneakers to do any climbing or active stuff (or your kids might be really upset). The tot spot is perfect for babies.

A little over priced, but there is tons of activities for the kids to do. It could be very educational experience, but my kids mostly ran around like hooligans, rather than trying to learn anything.
This massive kid paradise is the number-one children’smuseum in the country as well as the highest attended, with more than 750,000 people passing through its doors annually.
For discountedadmission, check Groupon before going to the museum, or present your Bank of America credit card for free adult admission for the cardholder(s).
If you have a little one (birth to 36 Months) try the Tot Spot upstairs. I have been talking to many people who didn't even know it was there. My 18 month old LOVES it!!
