Here are some of the top things to do with a baby in Houston.

Your Guide for Things To Do in Houston with a Baby

Houston Public Library

Visiting local libraries is a great way to gain a sense of community. Enjoy some southern comfort food and take a trip to the Houston Public Library with your baby. You can beat the heat as you and your baby escape with stories and meet other families from the neighborhood. For babies that prefer less stimulation, the library can be a great alternative.

Babywearing at the library can make you more mobile while promoting bonding time with your baby. With the Tushbaby hip seat carrier, it’s easy to go from side carrying to sitting down with the same support as you adventure through a book together.

Houston Zoo

Escape to the oasis of the Houston Zoo as you introduce your baby to some of their favorite four-legged friends. With over 6,000 species, the Houston Zoo is one of the top-visited zoos in the country, so animal-lovers should visit the Houston zoo if there’s time. Pack your snacks, change of clothes, and other essentials in your Totebaby and strap on your Pod to keep a clean pacifier handy at all times. For quick diaper changes, it doesn’t hurt to throw a foldable changing pad in the mix too.

Market Square (Historic District)

Nestled in downtown Houston, Market Square is bustling with places to eat, shops to explore, and views to stop and take in for a while. Admission is free at the Historic Market Square Park, so it’s a great budget-friendly way to connect with the history of Houston with your baby. Pack a blanket or some chairs and soak up the greenery, friendly vibes, and sweet twang of the south.

Children’s Museum

With over 9,000 square feet of explorations, the Houston Children’s Museum is a great excursion for an interactive and fun-filled day of learning. From a Tot*Spot to a Power Science Lab, there’s something for everyone. The brain is constantly developing, so babies can benefit from learning and stimulation, even if they don’t fully understand yet. The Houston Children's Museum has a cafe on-site for snacks and special events regularly, promising something new in every visit.

Picnic at Discovery Green

For a more intimate day with your baby, plan for a picnic at Discovery Green. With a wide open field of grass, sounds of nature, and waterfront views, all tucked in the middle of the city, you can get the best of both worlds at Discovery Green. The park is a no-smoking zone with other safety rules in place to make it a family-friendly atmosphere.

When baby’s gotta go, they gotta go—so our foldable changing pad is ideal for diaper changes during a picnic. Fold it up and store it in your Totebaby or Tushbaby front pocket, along with all your other baby and picnic essentials.

Houston Astros or Houston Dynamo game

For parents that enjoy sports, taking your baby to a sporting event can be safe and fun with the right gear. The Tushbaby is a game changer (no pun intended) when it comes to bringing your baby to a sporting event. It provides a supported hip seat that you can wear while sitting or standing, so you can keep your baby safe, close, and comfortable for the whole game. Plus, it offers a feeding position and storage pockets for snacks, tickets, and personal items. Relax and enjoy the game as you show off what it looks like to be a professional mom.

Cockrell Butterfly Exhibit at HMNS

Strolling through the butterfly exhibit as you embrace natural sciences can be an enjoyable experience for you and your baby. The blissful atmosphere is the perfect balance of fun and relaxation. If you want to take your Tushbaby hands-free so you and your little one can point out the butterflies, check out The Snug! Our wrap-style attachment was designed exclusively for Tushbaby to help you go hands-free on the go, and folds up into Tushbaby’s seat pocket when not in use.
