The Woodlands, Texas: Planned Community Just Outside Houston
About 30 miles north of downtown Houston, The Woodlands was established as a planned community in 1974 and has grown rapidly ever since—it has a population around 100,000. Today, the town is made up of a cluster of small villages with tree-lined streets, along with nearly 500 shops and boutiques.
You’ll find several family-friendly attractions here, including The Woodlands Children's Museum, which has enough interactive exhibits to keep youngsters and adults entertained. At night, head to the Fountains at Waterway Square, which are illuminated by colorful lights as the water seems to dance to the rhythm of such songs as “America the Beautiful.” The town is also known for its spectacular country clubs and year-round golfing, including courses designed by legends Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
Houston is less than an hour south via I-45, so it makes for a good day or afternoon trip. Exhibits at Space Center Houston simulate conditions in space—you can pretend you're an astronaut by walking across a frictionless surface or observe actual astronauts as they train. Frommer's raves, "there's nothing like it anywhere else in the world." Another can't-miss site is the Houston Zoo, a 55-acre zoo that encompasses a number of ecosystems, treehouses, and aquariums.

The Groupon Guide to: Astronaut Skills
Astronauts need to be world-class athletes, die-hard patriots, and scientific masterminds, but any montage of astronaut training also reveals these other crucial skills they possess:
- Holding your breath for more than 30 seconds, even if someone is trying to make you laugh
- Saying "Tang tastes as good as orange juice" with a straight face
- Being blessed with particularly flappable cheeks
- Juggling three beanbags at once (if you're that good on Earth, imagine how good you'll be without gravity!)
- Being bald or having very little hair (male astronauts only)
- Naming all the planets in correct order in fewer than three tries
- Providing their own space suit
