Prayer Facilities

The Children's Museum of Houston does not have prayer facilities for Muslim visitors. Muslims visiting the museum will therefore have to make use of the services offered at one of the many mosques in the city. Masjid al-Amin, Al-Noor Society Central Masjid and ISGH Masjid Hamza all serve the city’s Muslim community as well as tourists. 

Halal Food

The Fresh Café, located inside the Children's Museum of Houston offers visitors a fantastic selection of delicious and healthy dining choices. While the establishment isn’t Halal certified, Muslims visiting the museum can dine on suitable vegetarian and seafood items. The city of Houston is also known to house a plethora of Halal restaurants. Tourists could therefore ask to be guided to the best one near the museum if needed.
