Things to Do in Houston for Teens (That They’ll Actually Like)

Entertaining teenagers is a different sport. They’re too old for the playground and too cool for the museum (allegedly). Here are the things to do in Houston for teens that actually pass the eye-roll test.

Escape Rooms

The perfect teen group activity. Houston is packed with escape rooms — Game Over, Armadillo, and Exit 4 out in Katy are solid. Get a group of friends and race the clock. $$. Indoor.

Indoor Rock Climbing

Burns energy, looks cool on their story. Momentum and Climb Capuchin have bouldering walls perfect for beginners and showoffs alike. $$. Indoor.

Trampoline & Bounce Parks

Go big. Giant trampoline and bounce parks like FUNBOX give teens a place to be loud and active. $$. Indoor.

Arcades & Claw Machines

The Sugar Land arcade scene is real. Claw Treasures, Ready Go, and Claw Paradise are teen-magnet arcades. $$. Indoor.

Ice Skating

A low-key group hang that’s actually fun — and cold, which is a feature here. ICE at the Galleria or the Aerodrome. $$. Indoor.

Mural Hunting + Boba

Free and very their-generation. Hit Montrose and EaDo for the Instagram murals (free), then grab boba. The Biscuit Paint Wall and Houston Is Inspired mural are favorites. Free. Outdoor.
