Our 1 year old is infatuated with airplanes. We will be in Houston next week. Where would be a good location to watch planes from our car? Hobby will be closer to where we will be staying (area near the zoo).

Your post indicates you aren't from Houston. But if you can arrange another trip back, try to plan it around the Wings Over Houston airshow. It's amazing and your son would just love it. It's usually held towards the end of October. Just google Wings Over Houston and you'll find the info.
I live in the flight path of IAH and love walking the neighborhood on a clear day and looking up to see the planes coming in, especially the 747s.

The best spot in Houston to watch airplanes is at this spot, right at the end of the runway at IAH. I'm the same way and could spend hours at that spot watching planes fly in.

Beer and planes for children?

The Antonov is here now. It's been here quite a bit recently. I'm tired of seeing the An-124 though. I want the An-225 to come back through.

South Side - Pearland Regional (KLVJ) - Drive in and park near the FBO. Get out and walk up on the apron to watch all sorts of action. Banner towing facility on site, so you might catch them dive-bombing the airport to pick up a Moody Gardens banner
quote:Yes, the An-124 arrived yesterday afternoon. If you want to see it, I recommend the parking lot on North Rd. that I've linked below. That parking lot is also a good place to watch planes coming when they're landing on 26R and taxiing to the cargo area or passenger terminal.
At IAH? What's the best way to see it? I'd love to see a 225 - when does it come around?
quote:Which runway is it likely to come in on? Can this flight be tracked via FlightAware?
Looks like the An-225 will be making a visit to Houston arriving around 9am on Friday morning.
