Visiting Texas: Out of This World Events/Exhibits in Texas

**Note: Due to the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak, some of these events may have been postponed or canceled. Please do your research prior to making plans to attend any of the listed events.**

Greetings fellow Space/Fantasy fans. If you like to spend your free time staring up at the stars, learning about other planets at science museums, attending comic conventions to get closer to your sci-fi favorites or at your local pub for Harry Potter trivia night, this post is for you. I haven’t been to Comicpalooza in years but I’m still a forever fan of Greek Mythology, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Anime. If you’re also into Astronomy, Greek Mythology, Anime, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and etc, or even if you just think Aliens, Mermaids, Unicorns and Fairies are cute, check out some of the “out of this world” events and exhibits happening in Texas:
