Stars & Wildlife - Brazos Bend State Park
by el_ruso
Brazos Bend State Park is a great side trip, especially if you have kids and/ or like nature! Much more fun and interesting than most if not all attractions in the Houston area.
Besides virgin marshland and forest along Brazos where you can see typical local fauna, such as deer and racoons - all rather tame. But the main draw is its wonderful telescope - the area around is relatively free from human-made light, and the sight of stars in the sky is just overwhelming, especially if you have lived most of your life in a city. And the telescope will let you see them up close.
TO GET HERE: follow US 59 South into Fort Bend county, and exit when you see a brown sign directing you to BRAZOS BEND STATE PARK.
Small, Trendy Rice Village Lounge
by H-TownJourneyman about Bronx Bar
Bronx Bar is a popular lounge in the Rice Village, generally frequented by a younger, "20 something" crowd. Inside you will find the place to be a little on the small side, especially on a Saturday night when it is overflowing with people. Outside in the front there are a few tables to sit at, and the extra area out here tends to get crowded as well when the inside is packed. There is a small sitting area with a few chairs and a sofa when you first enter, and along the wall facing the bar there are a couple of standing tables. But other than that, you will find most people standing. There ambiance & decor are fairly typical of a modern lounge, with dim lighting and either hip-hop or house music playing. Of course, like many trendy lounges, the crowd is what people come here for. I must say on most Saturday nights it is a great place to do some people watching. So much so that the owners feel the need to have a cover charge to get in, which goes against the unwritten rule of establishments in the Rice Village not to have one. But nonetheless, if this is your type of scene, it can be worth the few bucks to get in. Tends to be a "dress to impress" type of scene

The Astrodome
by krackhorre
I know it's a little corny but the Astrodome was billed as "The 8th Wonder of the World" because it was the first indoor stadium ever built and it's a Texas institution. However the baseball team the stadium is named after no longer plays ball there. If you feel like paying way to much for food and drink go to Minute Made field to see the Astros. No games are played at the Dome anymore.

You have to do a couple of things. Go to St. Arnold's Brewery on Saturday, at 130. IT is kinda hard to find so buy a six pack of the Amber, spring bock or Fancy lawnmower and look on the bottom for directions. It is a short tour and free great beer!!!
