My list of things to check out in Houston, need some feedback

Edit: Updated March 2014

Created this list since it seemed some of the lists on the sidebar were outdated and/or missing a good amount of things, plus I wanted to share some of my top spots to check out. Tired of people saying there is nothing to do in Houston when our city has so much to offer. Any input y'all could provide of things I missed would really be appreciated so I can create as complete a list as possible.

Edit: Wanted to stick to attractions and not any restaurants/bars since there are so many that they would need a new post
