Things to Do in La Porte

While most drinking establishments offer suggestions on what wines pair well with food, The Paint Pub gives its clients recommendations on what varietals complement painting classes. As guests enjoy wine and beer from the bar, The Paint Pub’s artistic team guides them through the painting process. Simple steps such as mixing colors and applying brushstrokes do not require students to have any previous artistic experience though drying canvases with laser vision may not be easy for everyone. Classes can be reserved via the online calendar.

Whaz SUP's team gives clients an up-close view of the Clear Lake Area by renting standup paddleboards, leading guided tours, and holding waterborne yoga classes on paddleboards. Located about 45 minutes southeast of downtown Houston on Galveston Bay, the Clear Lake Area has one of the largest fleets of pleasure boats in the US. Each outing gives guests a steady, all-over workout that engages the core and helps paddlers fit into their high-school cummerbunds.

While party music blasts through a speaker system, kids and adults take to the trampolines at Jumping World, where 35,000 square feet is dedicated to bouncing. The main trampoline court spans 10 lanes and features a foam pit, and staffers oversee matches on two dodge-ball courts. Before planting their feet at the arcade, visitors can refuel at the snack bar and sign up for convenient birthday-party packages that include a staffer to oversee set up and clean up.
