Houston Grand Opera

Largest and best-known Theatre in Houston with a lineup of serious dramatic works with both classics and modern works.

Seen as pretty mundane by locals, but might still appeal to fish fanatics. Situated right on Buffalo Bayou. Not just an aquarium, it has a Ferris wheel and other carnival-style rides.

Concerts throughout the year including both a classical series and a pops series.

Surrounded by some of the city's oldest buildings, the site was once home to City Hall in previous years. In 2010, the block-sized space was transformed into a modern park, with features akin to Discovery Green but on a more compact scale. At the center of the park is local favorite Niko Niko's.

The Chase Tower is the tallest building in Houston, the second tallest building in Texas (the tallest from 1982-2025), and the tallest five-sided building in the world.

Broadway style big theatre productions in one of Houston's newest downtown arts venues.
