Best Things to Do in Houston August 2023 with Kids
Looking for things to do this August in Houston? Here are some great things to do in Houston with kids.
Back to school is on the horizon, but there are still some awesome summer events happening this month! To beat the heat, play outside in the evening at Park after Dark at Discovery Green, or head inside the Children’s Museum to meet Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo at the Ninja Turtles Turmoil. Later in the month, we highly recommend heading to Galveston for the annual AIA Sandcastle Contest; the sandcastles the artists create are out of this world and definitely a sight to be seen in person! And lastly, Kidz Bop is coming to Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land at the end of the month and is sure to get the kids hyped up with catchy music and dance moves.
Find more top August fun in our Ultimate Summer Fun Guide for Houston Kids. Plus, now is the time to get in a few more trips to our favorite splash pads and sprinkler parks before they close for the season.
We’re adding more events to our family activity calendar every day, so don’t forget to check it frequently.
