Highly Useful, the best.

Foulk's guide to Houston is one of the best. it is best to have this guide than to rely on some oneslimited or not so limited experience.one thing that one needs is a MAP.because the book does not come with one. . .the author assumes that one is already familiar with the city of houston. but anyway this is a fun book directory that will show you the sites and the food places along withthe recreational areas of this most magnificent city. Houston is the greatest city in the world. it is not munich nor london nor baltimore and not even miami, nor moscow, but just one and that is Houston.

Whats happenin' in Houston

:)This book is the best when it comes to what you want to do on vacation, without the hassels of calling up to find prices and times. I love this book because it is short and easy to find what you want in a hurry. I have been to so many things that I didn't even know existed! There are so many restaurants where you can just hang out and have a good time, or go to for a great party. Ice skating in Houston,in the summer, Awesome! Whenever I plan birthday parties, or get togethers, I pull out this book. (:

Oh, the Places You'll Go and the Things You'll Do

147 Fun Things to Do in Houston is a wonderful book. It has a ton of ideas on places to go and what to do when you get there. It gives an overview of costs, and helps to plan the day and events much faster and easier. The maps are an added advantage to plan sections of the city to see each day. Even the little things the city has to offer are in here. This book has fun written all over it. You can't go wrong with this book.

147 Things Fun Things to do - so little time!

I baught a tour guide of my own area because my husbands work schedule does not coencide with our children's (teens) vacation times from school. A strange idea maybe but it has really paid off! I have been all over the world and have found that as far as resturaunts, Houston has by far the greatest authentic diversity of anywhere else. But I found so much more in this book to do than eat. We found theater from the Houston Grand Opera to Radio Music Theater (comedy), to Mystery Mannor Dinner Theater (Murder), to Community Theater and Out door theater. The girls and I went to the Quilt Festival (even though we know next to nothing about quilting). We spent the whole day there and left with a great excitement to make a little something of our own. Ladies from all over the U.S. came to this show, and we were right in town! The Greek and Thai Festivals have opened up a whole new and exciting view of Houston and how many diverse and interesting people live here. The art, dance, music and food was really different. The Texas Rock Gym and Lasor has become a regular for us. Two things that we found in the book that are on our next adventure list are the Antique Train Ride and the Air Boat Swamp Tour to see the aligators and other swamp life. We, as a family of teens, have found really great day trips we all love. But even my parents and grandmother would have no problem finding tons of things they would love to do. My friends with babies and small children borrow my book all the time. Now my friends call me for ideas for things to do... I have learned a lot from this little book! Other tour books are good but this one tells you what to expect with things like parking, on site food, time of year considerations etc... real need to know kind of stuff to make the day work. Great Book!
