Your brood can indulge in wall-to-wall trampoline areas, dodgeball courts, stunt-airbags, the Tubes indoor playground, climbing walls, go-karts, a ropes course, slam dunk tracts, and more. There’s even an area specifically for kids 7 and under. This is also the perfect venue to host your child’s birthday celebration.
As the area’s premier outside mall, this center offers a grand variety of brand-name shopping and is host to several events throughout the year. Take your kiddos to shop ‘til they drop, then stop for a refreshing snack or meal at any one of several dining options located throughout.
Perhaps you have a budding equestrian in the family, or perhaps want to expose your kids to the wonderful sport of horseback riding? This full-service equestrian facility gives stellar riding lessons to all ages. They also offer riding camps and host private parties. First-time visitors can get up close and personal with these gorgeous creatures with a private beginner horseback riding lesson at a reduced rate from regular lessons.
Pearland’s newest indoor playground is full of activities that will send your child’s imagination alight. There are lots of things to do here that inspire creative play.
