Katy got its start as a quiet farming town just outside of Houston, but the years since have turned it into a city with plenty of personality. Its laid-back rustic appeal, however, has been retained. Travelers dropping by can start at the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Depot where they’ll find the city’s Katy Visitors Center and the Katy Heritage Society Railroad Museum. Visitors have plenty of options on what to put on their itinerary. Typhoon Texas Waterpark is famous throughout the state as a major summer holiday destination. Another is PopStroke, an 18-hole all-ages putting course designed by golf legend Tiger Woods.
There are many more attractions to choose from and not just outdoors. Need help deciding? Make sure to keep reading about the best things to do indoors in Katy, Texas.
