Our picks for things to do in Houston with kids this weekend of June 14 include Defying Gravity at Children’s Museum Houston, Dads and Dinos Day, Friday Night Fireworks at Kemah Boardwalk, & more!
If you’re searching for a fun kid-friendly activity, out of the summer heat this weekend, Dads and Dinos Day is one of my favorites. I also recommend heading to the Kemah Boardwalk for fireworks, but get there early if you want a spot up front.
