Katy, Texas is a small city 30 minutes outside of Houston, but it has a plethora of museums, parks, and shopping areas. Katy was a railroad town in the late 1800s. Because the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) Railroad line ran through Katy and connected to Houston, much of the town’s character is centered on the historic railroad influence on its economy and people. There are numerous great attractions and fun things to do in Katy for adults.
