The Houston Museum of Natural Science's Telfair branch is small but has the essentials: several big dinosaur skeletons, fossils to touch, and ancient Egypt and space exhibits, with no lines and no crowds. A 7-year-old can spend half an hour in the dinosaur hall, and a stroller loop is just right for a 2-year-old.

💡 Tips
Admission is about $10–15 (check the website), much cheaper than HMNS in the city; summer brings kids' camps and special exhibits. Pair it with Buffalo Run Park or Oyster Creek Park 10 minutes away for a half day.
