December 19, 2019

I recently visited with my kids for a little mommy date, and we had a blast. Don't forget to "date your children", it's very important especially when you have multiple children, they really appreciate that one on one time.  I love taking pictures, so this place was perfect for me. My kids didn't even complain about all the pictures (like they usually do) in fact they were having fun with each room and asked me to take pictures. The staff was very kind and helpful to us and we really enjoyed checking out all the colorful rooms. Don't forget a camera or of course you can use your phone! 
Here's an idea... If you have a birthday coming up for your kids there are a few rooms you can really get creative in for their upcoming birthday (maybe their invitation) or even a fun post on social media. 
This holiday season I'm focussing on experiences verse too many gifts (they really don't need). The FOMO Factory is a great place to go with the kids and enjoy time together and take lots of fun pictures. 

The FOMO Factory, owned and operated by Up Pop, LLC’s Brian Lenehan and Mike Salvaris, will continue to offer visitors a magical world featuring 16 rooms whimsically decorated to different themes. This includes an intergalactic Space Room with spinning galaxy chairs as an homage to its home in Space City.

Seasoned entrepreneurs in media & entertainment, healthcare and marketing, Lenehan and Salvaris are longtime friends, having met at business school in London. With desires to enter the immersive pop-up sphere, Lenehan and Salvaris had plans to launch their own touring concept before discovering The FOMO Factory. Lenehan and Salvaris reopened The FOMO Factory in October. 

“We are thrilled The FOMO Factory will remain in Houston as the city’s social media hot spot and haven for embracing childhood memories and unadulterated fun,” said Lenehan and Salvaris. “Loyal fans and new visitors can expect some exciting changes in the coming months beginning with our reduced entry pricing to kick off 2020.”   

Reduced entry pricing at The FOMO Factory includes ages 18 and older for $23, ages 3 – 17 for $18 and children 2 and under for free. VIP tickets are offered for $125. 

“The FOMO Factory has provided our visitors a unique element to traditional shopping since they initially opened this summer,” said Chris Lane, Director of Marketing and Business Development, The Galleria. “With this extension, The Galleria will continue to deliver an all-inclusive experience complete with desirable retail options, an array of events, entertainment choices and a plethora of dining selections.”

The FOMO Factory’s limited run began on October 18 and extends through mid-February 2020, with tickets available at thefomofactory.com. The FOMO Factory offers adults-only nights, group and private events as well as VIP packages. Hours of operations for The FOMO Factory: Mondays 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Wednesday – Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.
