Housed in the historic art deco former Houston Municipal Airport, the 1940 Air Terminal Museum showcases the rich heritage of civil aviation, including the nation’s airlines, general aviation and business aviation. The story of Houston's place in aviation history is also included in the exhibits. Interesting exhibits showcase the airlines that once flew in and out of the terminal, with flight attendant outfits, pilot uniforms, photos and videos. Special events include Wings and Wheels on the third Saturday of each month where you can get up close to real airplanes like Piper Cubs and talk to pilots. Open Tuesday through Sunday.

Williams Waterwall: Urban Waterfall

Right in the middle of the sprawl of the Houston Galleria, Williams Waterwall is a relaxing little park where you can find some serenity in the middle of holiday shopping or have a romantic stroll with your significant other. The Waterwall is a 30 year old Houston landmark, a stunning manmade waterfall fronted by a Roman-style proscenium. This beautiful, amphitheater-like space has become one of Houston’s favorite spots for proposals, wedding and prom photos, and other photo ops. The Waterwall is surrounded by a lovely little park crisscrossed with live oak-lined pathways that give the place a sense of isolation and calm in a very busy area.
