Architect of a form of non-violent civil disobedience, Gandhi was a spiritual and political leader whose influence stirred a nation, if not the world. The Gandhi Museum, once the house of the man who defined modern India, now preserves his memory by showing, every now and again, films about Gandhi and his speeches and guarding a library partly dedicated to his importance.

Designed for children up to 12 years old, this museum feels like a giant playground with exhibits focused on everything from science and art to engineering and culture. Kids can explore, create, and learn through fun experiences like building their own inventions, navigating a kid-sized city, or getting messy in the art studio.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science is one of the nation's most visited museums, offering a diverse array of exhibits that captivate visitors of all ages.
