This morning’s piece ran a little long, so this time I’ll get straight to the point. You’re in Texas this summer, you’re traveling with the kids, maybe you’re heading to Houston, maybe you’re just passing through, but either way, don’t forget that it’s a whole new Houston these days, and it’s jam-packed with family-friendly activities that are well worth the drive, especially when you can enjoy them on the cheap.
One of our go-to choices in Houston hotels, the Crowne Plaza Houston Downtown, is running an awesome family vacation deal through the summer that makes it easy to see the best of Houston, fill your whole trip with entertainment and to do it all at a remarkable price.

The “Family City Pass Package” comes with some nice standard perks – breakfast for 4 each morning, valet parking, downtown shuttle, $25 food/beverage credit – but the highlight of the deal is the addition of 2 adult and 2 child City Passes.

Wow, I stayed there a few weeks ago for a conference. The front desk was full of great advice for what I should do to have some fun! I would definitely recommend this place on the service alone. Just hope the whether is nice, it rained on me during my afternoon off. — the bed was a step up too!
The Houston CityPass is a very cool way to save time, money and experience some of the great attractions in Houston. It will save you a lot of time because you can bypass most ticket lines, and save quite a bit of money if you’re taking in a few attractions.
Wow great place! thanks for the post! I got my Houston dating for the whole family getaway next week! My kids will totally love this place!
