    Any sports games in Houston. The zoo (seems like it's for little kids but actually really fun!) underground tunnels, galleria, and also there's an ice rink in the galleria. That's always fun.

    Dynamo game & Galleria are both good ideas. Dynamo are playin g LA Galaxy (Beckham & Donovan!) on Oct.18th.

    Also, laser tag, paintball, go karts (MountAsia or Track 21), or a good movie.

    The galleria is a good idea. Kids can spend the whole day and not even notice. Dave & Busters is another good idea. They can eat and play all in one place.
