The museum district website claims 150 museums and cultural institutions in Greater Houston and that number is almost certainly low.
For professional sports, there's men's soccer, women's soccer, football (two of them, if XFL manages to start back up), baseball, basketball, rugby, and probably more sports I'm forgetting.
There's dozens of colleges and universities that host events ranging from soon-to-be Big XII sports to public lectures. Oh, also, you could like, take a class at one, I guess.
There's SFA, Brazos Bend, Galveston, and Sheldon Lake State Parks within close driving distance, as well Sam Houston National Forest and countless smaller green spaces run by other groups.
The theater district alone includes five theaters including pop music, ballet, opera, symphony, musicals, and plays, to say nothing of the smaller theaters in town such as the George Theater, Ensemble Theater, and MATCH.
There are dozens of concert venues in town. I've seen shows with eight people in the audience. I've seen shows as small as twelve people in the audience. I've seen shows sell out NRG Stadium (72,220 concert capacity).
The Houston Parks and Rec department oversees 366 parks with 125 miles of hike-and-bike trails. Those range from tiny pocket parks to places like Hermann Park, which includes a full golf course, a disc golf course, a theater hosting free concert and shows, and countless other events.
Do you need me to keep going or is there still nothing to do in Houston?
