On the hunt for an Insta-worthy backdrop? Look no further than the Color Factory. Inside, 14 oversized, candy-colored galleries with playful decor invite you to dive into ball pits, dance through confetti showers, and step into rooms where the walls feel alive with shifting hues—think Katy Perry circa "California Gurls." Each exhibit also nods to Houston’s culture, from wildflowers to the city's diverse cuisine and rich folklore. The result is a joyous sensory overload built for pure delight.

At the Health Museum, science isn’t just theoretical. Permanent exhibits take visitors on a fascinating, educational journey into what makes us human. The Amazing Body Gallery explores human anatomy on a colossal scale; the DeBakey Cell Lab lets you play scientist for a day as you rotate through interactive experiment stations; and Your Body Your Air reveals how Houston's air quality directly impacts our health.

If Houston had an official shrine to its inherent eccentricity, it would be the Orange Show. This quirky art space is the brainchild of a postal worker who spent more than two decades transforming found objects into a whimsical tribute to his favorite fruit. What started as one man’s passion project is now a must-see folk art experience, featuring a labyrinth of mosaics, sculptures, and handmade relics that radiate joyful absurdity. Plus, we have this center to thank for our beloved annual Art Car Parade, which celebrates the kitschiest automobiles imaginable. Although the monument is currently closed for restoration, we recommend checking out Smither Park and the famous Beer Can House while we wait in anticipation.

Designed to spark curiosity and unleash creativity, each “galaxy” (what they call the galleries) has its own unique mind-bending vibe. Seismique is also a hub for the city’s artistic community, with 12 galaxies dedicated to showcasing the works of Houston-based talent.

Inside the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, there’s a portal to the infinite—an intimate space where time flickers between light and shadow. Yayoi Kusama’s mesmerizing installation Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity invites you to become an integral part of her artwork. Inspired by a Japanese water lantern festival, visitors are surrounded by a constellation of delicate lights mirroring endlessly in all directions. But just as you settle into this shimmering eternity, the lights vanish, leaving you in a breathless moment of darkness and capturing the fleeting nature of existence.

This immersive artwork is a must for anyone seeking a profound and contemplative experience. Here, light intertwines with architecture and art dances with nature. This sleek pavilion draws visitors at dawn and dusk for a mesmerizing daily show with its floating canopy and geometric design. As the sky shifts through gradients of color, LED lights subtly alter your perception, making the horizon blur into an otherworldly palette.
