Planet Crystal Lighting

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.

Have the time of your life as you spend the evening at Houston’s happy place, where you can gather around and enjoy all the socializing and good feels at Electric Feelgood, where the décor is a throwback to the 90s style with neon signs, geometric paintings, and signs with smiley faces. Chill under the neon lights, where the experience is what you make it. Take a selfie that is Instagram-ready with one click, or sit on the patio and order from the drink menu that offers cocktails that are just as fun as the décor with quirky ingredients and catchy names. Hungry from all the fun you're having? Order from the food menu that offers flatbreads, salads, spiced red potatoes, and much more.

Capture a moment in time at the Houston Center for Photography, where you'll find evolving exhibits by emerging and established photographers and plenty of spur-of-the-moment workshops to brush up on your photography skills. As a small visual artists organization, their gallery features some of the finest works of contemporary photography. They also offer over 300 photography classes and workshops year-round. Varying in competency levels, these classes are all taught by esteemed photographers and lecturers, including some of the masters of the medium.
