During your Houston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

George Ranch Historical Park
Experience the life of four generations of a Texas family on this 400-acre outdoor museum, a working cattle ranch. Wander through a restored 1820s pioneer farm, an 1880s Victorian mansion, an 1890s cowboy encampment, and a 1930s ranch house. Savor Victorian-style tea on the porch of an 1890s mansion, or sit around the campfire with cowboys during a roundup and watch crafts demonstrations such as rope twisting. Picnic areas are provided. Plan to spend a half-day here.

SplashTown
A 45-minute drive from downtown, SplashTown holds special events and live entertainment throughout the season. It gets really crowded here, mainly with kids from north Houston suburbs and The Woodlands.

Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park
A couple of blocks from Houston's visitor center is this park, which serves as a repository for eight of Houston's oldest houses and buildings, moved here from their original locations. The oldest dates from before Texas's Independence; it is a small, simple cabin originally built close to where NASA is today. Another house was built by a freed slave in 1870. There's a church dating from 1892. The Heritage Society restored them to their original state and furnished them with pieces from the appropriate eras. The only way to see these buildings is by guided tour, which leaves every hour on the hour from the tour office at 1100 Bagby; it takes about 45 minutes. The guides are well informed and add a lot to a visit here. The Heritage Museum can be visited without taking the tour. It's free and features permanent exhibits on Texas history.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Houston area, including:

Red Carpet Inn Hobby Regency Motor Lodge
Nice and cheap and well located, this hotel offers lodging that captures a certain urban-cowboy, working-class feel. The rooms aren't much to look at -- midsize with '70s furniture and imitation wood paneling. The real character of the place comes from the Restaurant and the Lounge. The former is a roadside Tex-Mex joint; the latter is a good example of the typical Houston blue-collar bar with red carpet that smells of stale beer, a pool table, dartboards, and a TV always tuned to sports.

Sara's Bed and Breakfast Inn
For the traditional B&B experience -- period decor, themed rooms, beautifully furnished common rooms -- this is the place to stay. Sara's occupies a large Texas Victorian house in the Heights. From here it's easy to get to all of central Houston. The house is immaculately kept and brightly decorated. Most rooms come with a queen-size or king-size bed. Several are inspired by other cities of Texas, including Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Galveston. The carriage house suite is extra large and has a king-size and a double bed. The hosts serve a full breakfast except on Mondays.

Best Value Inn and Suites
This is a simple motel with two stories of rooms lining a large parking lot. The quietest rooms are the ones at the back of the property; the front ones can be noisy. All rooms have simple painted-wood furniture and two full-size beds or a king-size; suites come with a small fridge and a microwave, which makes them a value for people wanting to save money on dining. Suites are twice the size of the standard rooms and come with kitchenettes, dining table and chairs, and a sleeper sofa. Bathrooms are clean but a little small.
