Kids loved seeing the aquarium and rainforest. I also enjoyed it and seeing the discovery (music) Pyramid as well!

We had a BLAST at Moody Gardens! We went on a Monday so it may have been slower, but there was plenty of parking available, including accessible parking. Entry was seamless with our tickets purchased in advance. The aquarium and rainforest are AMAZING to visit. We watched the 4D movie and it was a little disappointing, but still a 6/10. Food was a little pricey for what you were getting, but that's normal in a place like this, and it was pretty decent!

Fantastic place to visit! I was a little confused about what all was included with passes I bought online the night before but turns out they were all access and I paid less then I would have as a walk in, a quick walk to the visitors center cleared it up. We have been to many aquariums and this one so great as it had penguins and sea lions and seals. We loved the 3d movie theater and may have stayed to watch more movies but had other places to visit.

Great staff, very clean facilities, so much fun! We did the family pass which included 2 date passes for the attractions and a 1 night stay at the hotel. It was perfect. We weren't super excited about the discovery pyramid; we thought it was going to be more hands-on but it wasn't. The rest of it was great! Very worth it.

It is a wonderful place with a lot of family-friendly attractions. I suggest I suggest researching in advance. When I was there, I wasn't able to sign up for a feeding of the seals at the last minute. I also had issues with online purchases to get the 25% that was advertised, and the cashier in line couldn't honor it, stating that it was only an online deal. So don't be surprised if you have to pay full price even though one may have issues with the online sign up. However, it is worth one visit.

Moody Gardens is an absolute gem that offers something for family visits, and we have had their annual membership for the last three years! From the stunning aquarium to the enchanting holiday lights and the unique seasonal Iceland show, it’s a destination worth experiencing.The aquarium was breathtaking! The exhibits are thoughtfully designed, providing close-up views of diverse marine life. From playful penguins to vibrant coral reefs, every corner of the aquarium had something fascinating to marvel at. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to answer questions and share interesting animal facts. One of my kids' favorite activities there is to touch the stingray, it is so fun and best way to learn about them.The holiday lights transformed the gardens into a whimsical wonderland as night fell during year-end holiday day months. The display was beautifully curated, with sparkling installations and creative designs that delighted kids and adults alike. Walking through the illuminated paths felt magical and festive—perfect for getting into the holiday spirit!Also quite amazing is the seasonal Iceland show. It’s incredible to see how talented ice sculptors bring icy masterpieces to life. The level of detail in the sculptures is awe-inspiring, and the chilly environment adds an authentic touch to the experience. Make sure to bundle up even though they do provide parka before entering, as it can get quite cold inside!Moody Gardens combines fun, education, and seasonal charm seamlessly. Whether you're visiting the aquarium, the lights, or the Iceland exhibit, you’re guaranteed to have a memorable time. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking for fun.
