The Theater District is the height of class, sophistication and any other word one would associate with a night at the theater. Downtown’s premier theater venues, Alley Theatre, Jones Hall and Wortham Theater Center, all sit within a block from one another with the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts located just a hop, skip and a jump away. Downtown destinations Bayou Place, Sundance Cinemas and family favorite Downtown Aquarium are also located within just a few blocks of the major theaters and many dining destinations abound leaving you confident you won’t miss the curtain call. An abundance of parks, fountains and bayou trails coaxes passers-by to ditch their high heels (or penny loafers) and strap on some running shoes. A day of exercise or a night of fancy frivolity can both be achieved here!
