Popular restaurants include Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille, The Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen and Maggiano’s Little Italy. Special attractions include a premier NHL-sized ice rink, a Cinemark movie theater, a historic double-decker Venetian-style carousel and the world’s largest indoor, soft play area for kids, Frolic’s Castle.
Memorial City Mall was named the 20th most-visited shopping mall by Travel & Leasure magazine in 2017. The writers called it one of Houston's most popular tourist attractions because of our "public-spirited special events like the youth symphony rehearsals and summer camp fairs, as well as an ice rink that cools your heels when the outside temperature hits 90."
Memorial City borders not only the wealthiest communities in Texas, but also the entire United States. The Memorial Villages, which include the cities of Hunters Creek, Piney Point, Bunker Hill, Spring Valley, Hedwig, and Hilshire, have an Average Household Income of over $250,000 annually.
