Must See Sights and Landmarks in Pearland Area

"Helping to revitalize the eastern part of downtown Houston, this engaging ballfield premiered in 2000 and has proven to be a fan favorite. The home of Astros baseball was constructed on parking lots near the old train station and even incorporates part of Union Station in its design. The intimate venue boasts a spectacular, retractable roof that opens when the weather's mild and closes when rain appears or when air-conditioning is needed."

"No weekend in Houston is complete without a visit to Rice University, so after having your fill, (responsibly) make your way there for a sunset light show spectacle at the Turrell Skyspace."

"With neo-Byzantine architecture surrounded by a kingdom of twisting, towering oak trees and springtime azaleas, this 100+ year-old campus proves Houston is quite foxy, after all."

"The Houston Center for Photography is one of the best places in the city to look at some beautiful pictures. Inside you can see rotating temporary exhibitions of works by regional and national artists which are showcased for free here. Not only that but the center also offers a full Digital Darkroom facility, a 4,000-volume research library, and educational workshop programming for area students."

"A Houston legend, the Beer Can House is exactly what you think it is – a house made of empty, flattened beer cans. A classic Texan explanation, its creator, John Milkovisch, stated, “Some people say this is sculpture but I didn’t go to no expensive school to get these crazy notions.” A true monument to recycling, this house is made up of an estimated 50,000 cans. What’s his favorite beer, you may ask?"

"More than 50,000 aluminum cans cover the beer can house as siding, edging, even wind chimes. Taking a guided or self-guided tour is worthwhile; either way don't miss the video..."

"Be sure to check out Nature Discovery Center’s Fall Festival on October 19th and 20th. At the center, you can pick a pumpkin and partake in the carnival-like atmosphere by enjoying rides and games. Many locals love crossing the “devil’s rope bridge” at the center."

If you are into murals and street art, then Downtown Houston area has an amazing spot where you can take multiple photos with murals all in one spot!. The Houston Graffiti Building has been a hot spot for photoshoots for many years, and I personally discover new and upcoming artists when I visit."

"On the opposite end of the sophistication spectrum are the graffiti walls in Eado. The walls are colorful and vibrant and offer so much variety for a fun and carefree engagement session. This is one of the locations of the famousHouston mural seen below."

"Located at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Rienzi is a separate building that holds the museum’s collection of European decorative arts and paintings. Designed by prominent Houston architect John Staub and nestled on four acres of wooded gardens in the historic River Oaks neighborhood, the former home of philanthropists Carroll Sterling Masterson and Harris Masterson III now houses an impressive collection of European works of art, including paintings, ceramics, decorative arts, and miniatures. Rienzi also offers a variety of educational programs and workshops for adults, as well as lectures, musical performances, and special events throughout the year."

If you or your lover are a fan of the fine arts, then this would be the best place to take your loved one or someone you are dating after a romantic meal. Explore the captivating words of arts and prepare to see and learn the most creative art collection that will make you feel like smiling and tearing up at the same time."

"You don’t even have to walk inside to get the benefits of this part of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston that houses its collection of European decorative arts and paintings. The outside gardens are pretty artistically (and romantically) inspired, too. @btswithkaelaembedded via"

"What better way to start off your day then with a warm sugar coated donuts. And there is no place better to get one than Shipley Do-Nuts. It is a Houston staple that everybody loves and it will certainly bring you joy."

"I can't tell you what they do differently than any other donut shop, but whatever it is, they should never change it. Their classic glazed donuts are too good to pass up. I'm already walking to my car."

"An oldie but a goodie, Shipley is the perfect place to round off this list. A Houston classic that has, at one location, literally risen from the ashes. Get ready for your sugar rush."

Your underwater adventure begins as you are seated around the 150,000 gallon aquarium with excellent views of giant groupers, reticulated rays, majestic sawfish, and other fascinating creat..."

"If you aren’t interested in visiting high-end stores or shopping centres and don’t mind bargaining, make your way to Harwin Central Market, an indoor two-storey mall between Fondren and Gassner. It features various retailers selling different kinds of items, from jewellery, clothes and footwear to electronics, bags and perfumes. You would perhaps find some designer dupes here since the stores are independent retailers, along with costume accessories."

It features over 150 stores, including Foot Locker, Journeys, Champs Sports, TX America Cinemas, Deli Maxx, Crazy Chicken, and more."
