If you can, go to Galveston. Wonderful beaches there and great Chinese food EVERYWHERE. Plenty places to eat good food, so don't worry. I've been there several times and it's been really fun.

Space Center Houston is the official visitors’ center of NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center.
The Theater District, a 17-block area in the heart of downtown Houston, ishome to Bayou Place Entertainment Complex, restaurants, movies, plazas, and parks. Bayou Place is a large multilevel building that is home to full service restaurants, bars, live music, billiards, multiple theatres and art house films.

Houston is home to many parks including Hermann Park, which houses the Houston Zoo and the Houston Museum of Natural Science, and Memorial Park.

Other tourist attractions include the Galleria, Texas's largest shopping mall located in the Uptown District, Old Market Square, Tranquility Park, Sam Houston Historical Park, which contains restored homes (built between 1824 and 1868) and reconstructed buildings. The San Jacinto Battlefield is in the nearby city of Deer Park.

I'll be truthful with you. Houston is a business, oil city. There is not much to do for leisure time. I'd head to the Galleria. Cafe Lily as mentioned in the aforementioned post is excellent. They are minutes from the Galleria and have excellent, affordable food.
Houston's is also a good restaurant, or so I've heard. Miller's Cafe is top notch for hamburgers. Visit LakeWood Church as well. Its the most famous church in the world.

The Holocaust Museum is free, I like going to Hermann Memorial Park and The Museum of Fine Arts. You have to get some Shipley's Donuts (mmm yumm). The Lasagna House is good Italian. Go to Bellaire if you want good Chinese. You could go shopping in the Galleria.

I would recommend the Natural History Museum, go see Bodyworks III and the Dinosaurs. Depends on what you like to eat. Lily's is a Lebanese Restaurant on Westherimer down from the Galleria, which can be fun also.

Go to the Kemah Boardwalk or if you want to stay in the city, then go to the Marquee Center in West Houston.

The post above is right- Millers Cafe has GREAT hburgers, they've also got sandwiches and stuff but you should definitely try a burger there. Also the natural science museum is pretty cool.

If you like seafood with a view, go to Kemah water front and eat at the Crab House.

For good food, try Pappadeaux's. They have great Cajun cooking. Their sister company is Pappasito's which has great Tex-Mex food. You'll be pleased with both restaurants.
