Explore Houston’s streets and public green spaces with Howdy H-Town’s friendly and enthusiastic excursion, where fun and informative tours are the best way to explore this city. Discover everything from history and architecture to street art and small bars while exploring the city’s heritage precinct and theatre district. Taste some of Houston’s many flavors as your guide takes you to five delicious venues. Whether you’re a local wanting to explore a new area of Houston or a visitor from out of town, let the passionate guides at Howdy H-Town show you a different side of this city.
What began as a hobby has bloomed into one of Houston's most popular tourist attractions, The Beer Can House. Over 18 years, the house disappeared under 50,000 flattened beer cans of different varieties for practical and decorative reasons. The can motif was only one aspect of the now-iconic visionary art environment. The yard is filled with plants and flowers that hang from the trees, occupy ceramic vessels, and grow in raised beds. As the neighborhood has changed, the property remains a time capsule of Houston’s vernacular architecture from the early 20th century, with a surprise around every corner.
Sit under a ceiling of twinkling lights inside the Theatre Under The Stars and watch timeless classics in addition to new and innovative musical productions. You'll find featured shows like Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma!, The Wiz, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Ragtime, Jerome Robbins' Broadway, and more. Though the TUTS group performed outdoors at Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park, today, TUTS performs in the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, a 2,650-seat theater with a fiber-optic ceiling that twinkles as the lights dim, harkening back to the theater troupe's open-air performances.
Admire all the vibrant works of art that provide a unique opportunity to see artists in action and the evolution of an arts destination come to life at Smither Park, where the creative urban space developed with the help of an entire community. Smither Park is an outrageous, fanciful, functional playland featuring different, exciting, and interactive features. Their commitment to sustainability and recycling inspires decorative elements by exploring the reuse and repurposing of materials like broken ceramic, bottle caps, tiles, and sea shells.
