LOCAL AREA

With Deer Park being a suburb of Houston, Texas, Space Center Houston is something to see before leaving. The city of Deer Park is known as the "Birthplace of Texas," so the San Jacinto Monument and Museum would be a good spot to visit.

Space Center Houston is the visitors' center of the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) center for human spaceflight activities. NASA is located nearby in Houston, Texas.

The City of Deer Park is known as the "Birthplace of Texas" because Texas won its independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto. The San Jacinto Monument and Museum now stands in memory of that, and it is also the world's tallest memorial column.

The summers in Deer Park, Texas can be brutal. Proper hydration, sunscreen, and appropriate clothing should all be thought about when visiting the area.
