Houston and Its Regional Attractions

Houston is a bayou city, close to the Gulf of Mexico, with mild temperatures in March. If time permits, Houston offers a large variety of attractions close by and farther afield.

For those attending the USITT 2008 Annual Conference & Stage Expo in Houston, a quick ride southbound on the light rail ($2 for a roundtrip ticket which can be purchased with a debit card or cash) will bring you to the Museum District stop. The light rail is just steps from all Conference hotels.
