15 Best Things To Do in Pasadena, Texas

While the mainland city Pasadena itself has a ton of attractions, the main fame of the city comes from its proximity to the Johnson Space Center. Situated a few minutes from the city, this is the space center that astronauts in movies refer to when they say ‘Houston.’

The center also has the Northrop Grumman Theater, where you can use space-related movies. Another mention-worthy place in Pasadena is the Armand Bayou Nature Center, which is the largest urban nature preserve in the country.

Spanning over 2,500 acres, the park has marshlands, wildlife, and woods. You can either stroll on the boardwalks or paddle a canoe.

Founded in 1902, the Houston Museum of Natural Science attracts thousands of annual visitors and is home to scientific displays, with dinosaur exhibits being the most popular.
