    I am a spur of the moment kind of road tripper. A lot of times, when we jump into the car, I don’t have the money to do many of the things that we would love to do. That is why I try to make lists of free things to do or cheap things to do. This list of cheap things to do in Houston is perfect for anyone who is visiting Houston or live close by.  Thank you Houston Dodge Dealer for sponsoring this article about cheap things to do in Houston. 

    Cheap Things to Do in Houston

    Visit the HMNS’s Planetarium. For only $9, you can see the Pink Floyd inspired laser lights shows. I mean it is the Planetarium. If you are not a Pink Floyd fan, most of the shows at the Planetarium are still only $9.

    Go to the drive in. The Showboat Drive-in is a classic drive-in that has double features for $7 per adult, and only $5 for kids 3-12. Couples, or families, can relax and create some fun memories while watching movies.

    Visit Howl at the Moon and see a total entertainment experience! The high energy show is centered around dance hits and party anthems. The cover charge is $7 but if you go on Thursday night, there is no cover to get in.

    Bike Downtown Houston: It doesn’t matter if you don’t own a bike. Rent a bike for the day for only $5. Bike along the bayou trail. When you rent a bike from BCycle just check in every hour or half hour and bike away.

    Visit the Brazos Bend State Park. For $7, you will have access to the 5,000-acre park. If you are excited to see alligators, this is the place. Besides looking for gators, you can bike, fish, hike, and go bird watching.

    Go Roller Skating at the Dairy Ashford Roller Rink. This is an old fashion rink and for $10, you can go skating and rent the skates. Enjoy a night like when you were a kid.

    Hi, I'm Debi!

    Welcome to my world. I am a 40 something year old mom to a lot of kids and a lot of pets. When I am not busy with the kids, grandkids, or animals, I love to do crafts and read.

    I love to knit and can often be found working on a project.
