The world's major shopping malls have become much more than just places to shop. People spend the day there, sometimes even the evening, between restaurants, attractions, and relaxation zones. Some host adventure parks, others museums, an ice rink, or a ski slope in a desert climate. Each complex tells something about its era and city. In Dubai, galleries compete with futuristic architecture. In Bangkok, centers combine luxury, cuisine, and entertainment. In North America, the spaces are so large they resemble full little cities with internal streets and themed zones. From continent to continent, these sites attract millions of visitors seeking new experiences. This selection brings together the most impressive centers, offering total immersion through large-scale shopping, varied entertainment, and ever-evolving scenery.
Houston offers a wide range of destinations that bring together science, culture and outdoor spaces. The city is home to Space Center Houston, where visitors can explore the history of space travel and see real spacecraft up close. Museums like the Houston Museum of Natural Science and The Museum of Fine Arts hold collections that span continents and centuries, from ancient artifacts to contemporary works. For those who prefer the outdoors, parks such as Discovery Green and Buffalo Bayou Park provide green areas for walking, cycling and relaxing right in the heart of the city. The Houston Zoo introduces visitors to animals from around the world, while the Downtown Aquarium displays marine life in large saltwater tanks. Families with children will find interactive learning at the Children's Museum Houston, and baseball fans can catch a game at Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros. Whether you're interested in history, nature or simply spending time outside, Houston brings together different experiences within easy reach of downtown.
