ARTECHOUSE Houston

This is a great place to come view some innovative and appealing visual art pieces and installations. Centrally located in the Heights area and quite accessible with adequate parking and fully family and handicap friendly. Knowledgeable and friendly staff and a full bar and gift shop. A 1-2 hour visit let's you comfortably enjoy the displays as intended. There were plenty of others there on a Sat afternoon but it did not feel crowded or rushed at all. You can pre buy admission online for a reduced price or at the door.

8/2/2025: This was way more impressive than I expected! We purchased tickets in advance. The parking is a little strange as there are multiple sporting businesses around the same area, all with special parking. Parking is free. This is a Digital Media Museum. They use lighting and AI to create an unforgettable experience. It is a self guided tour and you are able to spend as much time as you want in the different themed rooms. We were there for 1.5 hours. Ticket were $30.00 each. I don't want to give away too much as it could ruin the experience for you. All I can say is I want a room like this in my home. It was part dream state, part euphoric, part spiritual, part technology. I visited 2 of the rooms more than once because they were so deep and engaging. The "Imagine..." was so cool with it almost feeling like a mind reading experience. The next room full of strobes and music with images of flowers and butterflies was refreshing. The laser room was straight up trippy with the darkness and the sounds. I do not recommend this for small children, nor anyone who has seizures or balance issues. The lights, sounds, and movements were intense at times. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The even have a bar. I did not try it, but that is kind of cool.

Really lovely museum. I loved my visit here! It was sooooo relaxing and the visuals were very satisfying. I came for the blooming wonders experience. They have these big bean bags you can lay on while watching the images move. Being able to lay back and see flowers and butterflies fly around was amazing. I did not want to leave. This place is definitely worth the visit.

Incredible atmosphere and unforgettable experience This arthouse exhibition was truly one of a kind. The atmosphere was surreal — immersive and emotional from the very first moment. The interactive elements made it feel personal and alive, especially the part with the sensory test. Every detail was thoughtful and artistic. I left feeling inspired, moved, and completely impressed. A must-visit for anyone who loves unique art experiences.

Really unique blend of moving visual and audio art. Great experience for every member of the family. I got tickets through “Tiquets” which saved us money versus other options. We only bought our tickets minutes before walking in and there was no wait to enter. It was awesome overall, really enjoyed it.

A quaint little gallery that offers a monumental surprise. I went for the time and space exhibition and my mind was blown. The galleries are comfortable and expansive. The staff are really friendly and informative. They offered an insightful take on the installations. The XR Bar also provided some pleasant offerings. I most certainly will anticipate another visit soon.

Don't miss this immersive experience about the history of ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE! Fabulous photography! Surrounded by the history of 60's 70's 80's music and other happenings. Beautiful, clean venue! Bring friends! Drinks available and bought some merchandise.

We visited ARTECHOUSE on Saturday. We walked in and went straight to the counter and provided our tickets to the attendant. She was very nice and gave us directions to the bar, which was lovely might I add, and the exhibits. We loved our experiences there! It was totally interactive and my son loved it! He was moved to tears during one exhibit which is not normal for him at all. He said it was so moving that it was emotional for him, in a good way. It was a great experience!

Artechouse has a brand new holiday experience just in time to end the year and you don't wanna miss it. The themed drinks are so good and there were quite a few people in line but they got us served quickly. The exhibits are so fun. The only thing I would say is that if you aren't into art and observing it then you could easily walk through in 10 minutes.

I was able to go here to check out the new holiday exhibit for this year. I love how they put technology together to celebrate. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. I think you can do the entire exhibit in about 30 to 45 minutes. They had a bar with signature cocktails to coincide with the holiday. This was really cute. I loved the big tree in the middle of the floor. This was definitely a really good photo op. It was beautiful. Everything here was intense in regards to lights. I really enjoyed it.

Went to Artechouse for the first time tonight to preview their Houston Holiday Spectacular. Let me start off by saying - great date night spot! Love the industrial vibe. They have a small little bar with festive cocktails and a shop with t-shirts, hats, stickers, etc. The actual light exhibits were great - lots of varied lasers, projectors, and digital displays. We ended up spending over an hour walking through which is longer than I expected! The tingle bells exhibit hall was amazing - can just sit back and be mesmerized by the Christmas projected lights and music. Definitely recommend!

This place was so awesome. My kids loved it so much they just ran around the room just memorized with all the lights.

Such a fun exhibit! Went here on a date night and check-in was a breeze. There's a bar inside where you can bring drinks inside, albeit you'd need to pay extra for the tumblrs. The tumblrs are reusable though and can be used again on your next visit to get discounts on cocktails. The art itself was super interesting- variety of lasers and screen projections. The last installation was our favorite, sequence of images and just a super cool trippy vibe. Would come again!

A few of us pre-purchased tickets for 10am on Sunday and loved beating the crowed and enjoying a fairly clean and immersive experiential art installation-exhibit. It's $33/person but worth every penny. It took us over an hour to get through it and no one noticed the passage of time or were bothered by the spaces we were experiencing. A truly introspective and engaging time, space, light, and energy installation. I highly recommend taking visitors, or if you're on a date or need something near to do on weekend. The service was great and they thanked u for printing our tickets too. Hopefully it will still be available the next time we have visitors.

What about experience. The first room is probably my favorite. I could lay on those bean bags for hours. It was so peaceful. Great location ample parling and friendly staff. I enjoyed the different concepts and expressions of technology turned into art. I made a stop at the bar prior to enjoying the exhibit, and the drink I got was nice and refreshing. Perfeft for the summer/fall weather. I really enjoyed the interactive pieces and the light play. 1 room reminded me of Windows 97 media player just nostalgic.

It's a pretty cool exhibit, it's all self guided and the people working won't really interact with you outside of the introduction. I wish it had more interactive elements, it was fun but did not live up to the expectations.

What is not to love about Artechouse? I came to the yelp event with my friend and the atmosphere, exhibits and drinks were amazing! I just had to bring my husband and son back on Sunday. I knew they would love it...and they did. Our favorite was the big room that had the rotating scenes. I really liked the one where it looks like you're walking into Willy Wonkas Candy Shop! It's worth the money to see that smile on my sons face. He said, "This is cool! && The Best Day Ever!" A ton of times! A must see especially for for kiddos 4 and up!

This place was so underwhelming. Wow. I am shocked by the reviews. This "museum" took my husband and I sixteen minutes to complete. I was disappointed.

Cool place! We spent almost two hours here, which is probably on the long side. lol. There's like 4 rooms that are basically different art installations but you can definitely sit there and watch the different scenes within each room for a while. Not a bad price for what you get. It wasn't mind blowing and I'm not sure I'd come back but going once was a fun time!

Super cool experience. So I have been to Artechouse twice, and still felt like I was seeing something different both times. If you don't have time to just sit and exist... this may not be the experience for you as it truly does require that. I also wouldn't recommend bringing children under 10 as they may not be able to enjoy or understand the exhibits. I would post photos, but don't want to spoil it! I was also told the exhibits do swap out about twice a year and they are even doing a special holiday exhibit so I definitely look forward to seeing what new is coming.

We came here on a weekday to check out this immersive art experience that comes from NYC and Miami, and we definitely felt like we were in another city for sure. The art is very different from any other museums in Houston, using references from space, and very precise light and audio engineering. My favorite spaces would have to be the dreamy starlight space and the huge immersive room. Everyone was really friendly and helpful with our entry and the booking and check in was easy and smooth. Be prepared to take lots of pics and videos! It took us a while to get through it because we wanted to take pics of everything haha. They have a bar and a gift shop right outside the exhibit as well, and would definitely recommend this experience for a date night or outing with friends!

Amazing place for something new and adventurous to do in Houston! Love the multitude of immersive art exhibits and the collaboration with NASA space center as well as the focus on space related innovations

I do understand that they do put a lot of work into this place and some of the rooms are beautiful but not all the rooms are good. If you are not into space technologies then you won't like this. Most of the exhibits are about sciences and space. If you prefer to see regular arts then this may not be your thing. We spent an hour in there and that's a bit stretchy too. If not maybe 45min would be enough to view all the rooms. The only one that's is most impressive is the big room at the end. It's educated but not to the extreme. I had mixed feelings at this place. Some I like and others I don't . I have been to a lot of exhibitions and this one doesn't impress me

Not really sure what to make of my visit. It was 100% unexpected. The marriage of art and technology was interesting to say the least. The self guided tour is about 30min to Dee the whole shebang. Way longer if alcohol is involved. The last room stole the "show". If you're prone to headaches or are sensitive to strobe lights and loud noise, avoid this place at all costs. Staff was kind and engaging. Bathrooms (ladies) were unattended and the putrid smell was quite unpleasant. If you're in the area check it out. Price point was high for the exhibition. Not my cup of tea but hey...to each its own

Honestly wouldn't pay $30 for a ticket. It was very different something i wouldn't have expected. lots of lights and flashing noice. It's not very christmas themed if it wasn't for the open bar that we had probably wouldn't have gone.

Amazing experience I would recommend to check it out and enjoy all activities!!! Staff is very helpful and respectful! If you're visiting Houston, Texas, go and check it out you will not regret it!!!

It's December and I'm always up for anything Christmas themed. They are currently having a holiday spectacular. I absolutely loved it! I've been to a lot of cool places this year, but this is definitely one of my favorites.

Artechouse was fun, but I was expecting a bit more. The price point was fair, and the last room definitely stole the show for me!

Came in on a Sunday afternoon for their holiday exhibit. Was a pretty cool experience and glad I did it but finished the exhibit in about 45 mins. I think it's worth checking out at least once but not sure how often I would go at the current price point. Would probably be more fun if you make use of the bar before going in tbf.

Couldn't believe my eyes. I was 1,000% immersed. These installations are incredible! Wow is really all I can say. You have to see it for yourself but I would visit a million times if I could. Not only is it beautiful but informative as well. I felt like I was taken on a journey about life/space/science. The staff are very friendly and the space is very clean. There's plenty of parking as well. They have a cool looking bar inside as well. Best immersive experience I've been to to date :)

Some of it was a little loud but everything was really cool. We brought our two year old and we were both overstimulated by the music and sights which is the entire point of it but just a fair warning to be prepared. Everything was really beautiful and unique and so glad we got to go to this.

These pictures don't do the exhibit justice, especially the big room with pictures from the James Webb Space Telescope. I sat in that room the longest because I am obsessed with all things space. I enjoyed the whole experience, but I think this is a great place to go on a date or with a child that's potty trained and older. Unfortunately, I came with my infant and we hit a few bumps. For example, you aren't allowed to take your stroller into the space, so carrying my 20 pound baby through the exhibit wasn't fun. Once we were done, the baby needed to be changed, but they didn't have a changing table in any of the bathrooms. I would definitely come back without the baby.

Artechouse is SO COOL. We went on a whim after grabbing lunch in the area and I am glad we did! It's a modern art exhibit with plenty of lights and lasers. As soon as you walk in you get a space station feel from the entire operation, not just the exhibit. As you enter turn right and that is where you can get tickets and merchandise. There is a bar you can grab drinks from before, and specific drinks you can bring into the exhibit with you. The exhibit has tons of space where you can just hang out and enjoy the art, and also has interactive pieces where you doing something results in a change to what you are seeing in the area or on screen. The exhibit was pretty calming when I went, and was a nice break from the heat and the hustle and bustle of Houston living. Tickets were $33 a person, they do offer student discounts with a valid ID. I have been telling all my friends about this place and can't wait to take them to check it out.

Great service, do not need reservation to get in, great experience. Unique drink, great immersive cards as a bonus, great customer service

pretty expensive for the experience. all the employees looked bothered to work there except one very nice guy at the front who checked us in. the others based on their tone, facial expressions and posture gave the vibe of IDGAF. the exhibit was mesmerizing i.e. the lasers and crazy lights but the holiday part was not "spectacular", far from it. i also did not get the interactive part. it was pretty much look at the lights and that's it. also the music was not very "spectacular" either. very short exhibit for the money, very short. do not recommend.

Run, don't walk to this! It is absolutely amazing. It's definitely a great date place, and your kids would enjoy it also. They have installations in new york, dc, and miami. Calling it "immersive art" is kind of a cliche these days, but there's really no other term for what they do. They had three different exhibits, some of them with bean bag chairs you could lay in. They completely replace exhibits about every 6 months so they stay fresh. It is mind-blowing. Very trippy. They also have a gift shop and a cocktail bar with carefully curated drinks. A little bit on the spendy side, about $25 per drink, but very well thought out. It's kind of cool to have a couple of drinks and then go back into the exhibit. There is no time limit on how long you can spend there.

I was absolutely blown away by our visit to the Houston. My son recommended this exhibit, and I could not be happier that I took his advice on visiting we loved how different this exhibit was all the effort and all the technical skills, designs and pure genius of the creators was most appreciated. The entrance fees were not too steep considering all there is quite a lot to do and see. It is a great time, learned so much and definitely recommend taking the kids they will have a great time.

Drinks are splendid , Roman suggested Stardust and Life Of A Star. Roman was amazing ! Highly recommend coming

My husband and I came here for a date night as we had never experienced anything like this, but have always wanted to. I will say, like most places, they put the best parts of the exhibit on the pictures online. The immersive room was by far the best part of the experience. Roman, the bar tender, was top notch! Great customer service, drink suggestions, and unique, tasty cocktails. You have to buy a $5 tumbler to be able to take the drink into the exhibit, making the drinks $21 a piece, so I thought that was on the pricy side, but that wasn't his fault. Ha!

Awesome experience! A must see if you're in Houston! This must be seen to believed and words cannot describe!

Disregard all the negative reviews, the exhibit was incredible and the staff was so welcoming. Your experience is based on your interpretation and appreciation for art. I went with a friend and felt like we could've stayed for hours and hours. The exhibit invoked emotion based on the amount of sensations triggered by the art, sounds and visuals were incredible. 10/10 can't wait for the next show.

Art and technology merge in this museum like venue. Great descriptions for each exhibit to understand more in depth what we are looking at. The interactive rooms are unique and worth the price. Lots of seating to better the experience... not a place you can run Through quickly.... To many details would be missed. Plan on 1.5 hours to fully take in Artechouse!

My husband and I went to Artechouse on opening day, June 21st. We were extremely disappointed. You could see everything in 20 minutes, and that's if you take your time. We didn't feel anything we saw was overly amazing or original or mind blowing in the least. The ads hype it up and make it out to be something it is not. I'll give credit for great marketing, but the actual experience does not live up to expectations.
