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

Downtown Aquarium
On the northwest corner of downtown, a few blocks from the visitor center, is this aquarium/restaurant/amusement park complex. The main exhibit consists of several tanks in the main building displaying different aquatic ecosystems. These are nicely done, and lots of little tanks hold highly specialized species from places like the Amazon. There are also touch tanks and an exhibit of rare white tigers. Upstairs is a seafood restaurant where you can enjoy another large aquarium while you have a bite to eat. Outside the building, the main attraction is a large shark tank, which you view from a glass tunnel while seated in a miniature train. Among the rides are a Ferris wheel and a carousel. You can buy a 1-day pass or buy separate tickets for each attraction. The main exhibit takes about an hour; the train ride takes 10 minutes, with 2 to 3 minutes inside the glass tunnel.

The Orange Show
This may not be the "greatest show on earth" but it must be the quirkiest. In truth it's not a show at all, at least not as we commonly understand the word. Rather, it's the life work of one man, former postman Jeff McKissack, who spent his last 25 years assembling a collection of found objects and building materials into an architectural collage that students of folk art call a "folk art environment." It stands in a quiet working-class neighborhood just off the Gulf Freeway, where it dares to be different. With the many flagpoles, spindles, wagon wheels, and wrought-iron birds rising up from behind its walls, it seems like an outpost for spontaneity in a wilderness of cookie-cutter ranch-style houses.Inside, the viewer is presented with all kinds of curiosities: two small arenas, observation decks, a small museum, and lots of cheerful wrought-iron decoration and tile work. Inscriptions adorn the walls; many of these honor that best of all fruits, "The orange: a great gift to mankind." Seeing the whole thing takes less than an hour. Upon the death of Mr. McKissack, The Orange Show fell into decay until it was rescued by the Orange Show Foundation, located in the house across the street and a center for Houston's folk art world. It is the organizer of the Art Car Parade and the Art Car Ball. It is also the organizer of Eyeopener Tours. If you like folk art, consider purchasing their driving tour audiocassette of Houston's other folk art treasures. (The tape comes with a map.)

Bayou Bend
Ima Hogg was the daughter of Gov. Jim Hogg, a man who obviously had a cruel sense of humor. Miss Hogg, however, did not grow up shy and self-effacing. Long after the governor was dead, she was a power to be reckoned with in local affairs and did much to keep the chicanery in city hall to a minimum. Her mansion, Bayou Bend, was built in the 1920s by Houston's most prominent architect, John F. Staub. It holds in its 28 rooms a treasure trove of American furniture, paintings, and decorative objects dating from Colonial times to about 1870, and is set amid 14 acres of beautifully tended gardens in a variety of styles. This is a must-see for antiques collectors and gardeners.Part of the Museum of Fine Arts, the collection can be seen by self-guided audio tour or by guided tour, for which you must make reservations. I prefer the guided tour, mostly because I like to ask questions. It takes 90 minutes and costs the same as the audio tour. Guided tours leave every 15 minutes. You can see the gardens on your own. Bayou Bend is on the backside of River Oaks, but is unapproachable from the main entrance to the neighborhood. The only way to get there is to go down Memorial Drive, which follows the north shore of Buffalo Bayou, then turn left onto Westcott to enter the grounds.

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

Lancaster Hotel
For those who enjoy the performing arts and nightlife, there is no better place to stay in Houston. Within 1 block are the symphony, the ballet, the opera, and the Alley Theatre, and when reserving a room you can have the concierge buy tickets for performances at any of these venues as well as others in the Theater District. Also a block away is Bayou Place, where you can catch a movie or a live blues or rock act, and within a few blocks are many restaurants and clubs. The hotel occupies a small 12-story building that dates from the 1920s and looks all the smaller for being near the Chase Tower (the tallest skyscraper west of the Mississippi). Rooms are a little smaller than their counterparts at the Four Seasons but better furnished, and with more of the character of an old hotel. Bathrooms are ample and have lots of counter space. Service is excellent and includes lots of personal touches.

Grant Palm Court Inn
This is the best lodgings bargain in Houston: quiet, clean rooms with a number of little extras for a good low rate. This is one of those time-capsule places where nothing seems to change -- all rooms are furnished in '50s fashion. The higher rate is for rooms with two double beds that can accommodate up to four people at no extra charge. The rooms encircle well-tended grounds that hold a pool, a Jacuzzi, a wading pool, and a swing set. There is also a kennel for canine guests. The hotel is close to the Medical Center, Reliant Stadium, and AstroWorld. And the icing on the cake: Would you believe that Elvis actually once stayed here?

JW Marriott Hotel by the Galleria
On Westheimer facing the Galleria, this high-rise hotel offers lots of amenities and a central location. Rooms are smaller than at the Westin hotels but are more attractive and come with more features. And the service and the amenities are better here. Bathrooms are well lit and come with make-up mirrors and terry-cloth robes. The decor is modern and a bit on the plain side. Avoid reserving a room on the fifth floor, where the health club is located. The hotel's room service offers Pizza Hut pizzas from its kitchen.
