3.0 out of 5 stars I dont think it is worth the money..., August 27, 2006

This review is from: 100+ Activities for Houston Kids (Paperback)

Yes, it does give activities for kids in Houston. Most are pretty common sense (i.e. local library, Aquarium, Moody Gardens, the Galveston Ferry?) It is done in calendar format, so it gives some date specific activities as well as year round activites. There were some nice surprises, but nothing that could not be found in the Family section of a good sunday newspaper or on the internet [...]. I will use it, but not worth the $.
