Description: Kidpendence Day celebrates life, liberty and the pursuit of fun! Swing by the Children’s Museum of Houston this Independence Day weekend before the fireworks light up the sky. Our great nation turns 235 years-old. Now, that’s old! But the spirit of patriotism lives on. Come celebrate USA’s birthday the kid way! Plus, we know you’re seeing stars and stripes from fluctuating gas prices. Receive up to $12 off for six people on July 4.
