The Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park is one of Houston’s most beloved and iconic landmarks and community centerpieces for visitors of all ages to create endless memories with friends and family. As one of the most visited attractions, you get to experience what it's like to stand in the waterfall’s mist and be enveloped by the gentle roar of the cascading water. You can also walk along the lush canopy of towering live oak trees while in the core of one of the largest business districts in the nation.

The Holocaust Museum Houston begins with a look at life before the Holocaust and the beginning of Nazism. The exhibit then shows its insidious progression from segregation to imprisonment to extermination. Artifacts, film reels, photographs, and text panels tell the story and set the backdrop for personal accounts from local survivors. Among the many items on display is a World War II Holocaust railcar that carried millions of Jews to concentration camps and a Danish rescue boat that saved thousands of Jews from the hands of Nazi Germany. The museum is an ever-evolving, living museum that includes a permanent exhibit and temporary exhibits on loan from other Holocaust Museums around the country. Many who have visited here, survivors, adults, and schoolchildren, have left notes, poems, artwork, and gifts to express their feelings upon seeing the exhibits.
