There's always something exciting to see at the Wortham Theater, for it is home to the Houston Ballet, the Houston Grand Opera, and Da Camera of Houston, a group that performs chamber and jazz music. In addition, it hosts social galas, civic meetings, corporate and group events, and weddings. The Center's architectural design, designed by Eugene Aubry of Morris Aubry Architects, has been lauded as a cutting-edge study in form and function. It also houses the 2,500-seat Alice and George Brown Theater and the 1,100-seat Roy and Lillie Cullen Theater.
Rock out over a fabulous restaurant and romantic date destination, followed by an evening of excellent live music and dancing at Sambucca, located in the historic Rice Hotel. Sambuca is Houston's premier location for dining and live music nightly. Any evening is great for dining, drinking, and enjoying the show. Whether you need small plates for a bridal shower, a full grazing table for a large luncheon, or desserts for your whole office, let them handle the planning for you. Their staff will work with you to provide a customized menu with savory items complimented by personalized setups.
Explore the origins of earth and man at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, where more than a dozen permanent exhibits explore the worlds of astronomy, space science, Native Americans, chemistry, energy, paleontology, and Texas wildlife. There are also several displays of dinosaur skeletons, natural gems, and other attractions that will keep you occupied for hours. Special sections of the museum include the Wortham IMAX Theatre, Cockrell Butterfly Center, Burke Baker Planetarium, and the George Observatory.
Immerse yourself in nature as you stroll through Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary, where you can enjoy a small sanctuary that offers walking trails, birding, educational programs, and a unique look into the history of their neighborhood. Because they are a conservation property for wildlife and birds, Birders can especially enjoy 200 species of birds that have been sighted over the years and can see them feeding and resting before continuing their journey.
