Moody Gardens Aquarium

Bought tickets in October and got a flat tire on the way. Called and staff gave me a 90 day rain check to use my tickets which was so helpful and appreciated! Finally got to go on a wonderfully sunny day and completed the aquarium in approximately 1 hour with my two under two daughters! The exhibits were very kid friendly and allowed my daughters to get close to the aquatic life . We got to see penguins, fish, jelly fish, sharks, seals and much more ! They offer a gift shop and a cafeteria with many options as well as restrooms located throughout. Plenty of parking too! Would definitely go back again! This aquarium is much larger than the downtown Houston aquarium.

My wife, my toddler and I came to visit the aquarium before a cruise on January 18th. We had such a good time. It kept the toddlers attention the whole time. The exhibits were nice and you can get close enough to actually see what is swimming around. The shark exhibit was awesome! You can sit right next to the glass and watch them swim. We used Groupon to get our tickets and paid around $54 for the aquarium and rain forrest. Just a heads up, the rain forrest will be extremely warm and humid. Dress accordingly!

Very nice place. It's big. It might have been 5 stars, but it's pretty pricey. And in all honesty, I don't think I got my money's worth. Friendly staff. Beautiful setting. But definitely a one and done for me.

This place never gets old. Been here only a few times with in the last 20 years. We saw the 3D movies first and then explored the pyramids. The Discovery Pyramid wasn't open b/c they were doing a new exhibit or something which kinda sucks now that I think about it. Since you miss out on it we should have a reduced price. It's not right to pay for it all when you can't experience it all. Happy its free refills on drinks in your souvenir cup. The zoo doesn't do that which is mind blowing. The employees are wonderful. The woman in the main gift shop was so nice to me and my grandkids. We spent opening till close there. Had 2 big pretzels and cheese sticks throughout the day. Thank you for not being expensive. It's a bummer when you pay a lot at the door and can't afford to buy food. We had to see this one more time before we move to Vermont in a few weeks. There was barely anyone there. Perfect timing. We went on a Tuesday. 2.10.26

There was a delayed opening when we went as there were leaks in some of the tanks. Seems like the facility is not aging well. Still had a good time seeing the sea creatures. Thought 48/person just for the aquarium to be excessive. though.
