The Houston Fire Museum (easily the coolest name of all the best Houston museums) is built out of an old fire station. As such, kids particularly enjoy this one.

About the Houston Fire Museum
The Houston Fire Museum was originally Fire Station No. 7, the very fist station built under the Houston Fire Department as a fully paid entity. Exhibits include:
Antique Apparatus: collection of automobiles including a 1895 Ahrens Fox horse-drawn steamer, a 1937 Chevrolet pumper and a 1938 REO fire truck.
Watch Office: experience what it was like to receive a fire call in the 1950's
The Locker Room: visual timeline of the fire service industry by means of artifacts, documents and visual art.
