10 fun things to do in Houston, USA - SilverKris

"Originally built in 1927 as the city’s first underground drinking-water reservoir and forgotten for decades, this dramatic 25-foot-tall subterranean space was restored and reopened in May 2016 as a family-friendly attraction. Visitors can join 30-minute walking tours, buy snacks on-site, and experience immersive, slightly eerie history beneath the city." - SilverKris
