by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

In this Houston field trip, get up close with cellular biology at the DeBakey Cell Lab at the Health Museum of Houston!

Look below for resources to read before your trip, details on each stop and parking/driving instructions.

Resources:

  • Human Body Activity Book for Kids (Workbook for K-3)
  • Biology Workbook (Workbook for 6-12)
  • Science Explorers: Teaching Kids About Cells (Website)

(Do you have a Cellular Biology curriculum? Send it to us!)

DeBakey Cell Lab at Health Museum of Houston

Explore the DeBakey Cell Lab:

DeBakey Cell Lab – The Health Museum of Houston – 1515 Hermann Dr, Houston, TX 77004

Head to the DeBakey Cell Lab at the Houston Health Museum. Here you can put on a lab coat, gloves and goggles and visit experiment stations.

There are seven lab stations that get you up close with cellular biology, including cheek cells, DNA extraction, testing anti-microbial agents, enzymes in saliva, examining blood, giant chromosomes and mystery microbes.

You can access to up to three of the seven lab stations per visit. It is required that all guests must be ages seven and above in order to participate in Cell Lab.

The Cell Lab is $3 for current members and an additional $5 per person for non-members with the purchase of general admission to The Health Museum. Learn all about it HERE.

Drive/Park at DeBakey Cell Lab:

The museum has a paid parking lot but there is free parking in Hermann Park. I would park in Lot C and walk over. (Also, stop by the Centennial Garden on your way back to the car!)

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
