Moody Gardens

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.

A good place to spend a Saturday. Fascinating to see the Penguins at the Aquarium. The rainforest concept and setup was marvellous. The 3D movie was splendid. The 4D movie was too short. The sea facing butterfly park is planned very well. The music themed discovery museum bought back childhood memories.

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.

Great experience and value for all ages! Looked fun when researching and thought maybe this was geared more towards younger kids but honestly had lots of experiences for all ages! Highly recommend purchasing the one day value pass and get there when they open to be able to get do all the attractions. Highly recommend the boat ride. It was a nice 50 minute cruise but it’s only offered a few times a day and we planned our trip around that. We were able to visit all the attractions and even had time to stop at one of the food courts for a snack. The chicken stripes were delicious! Between the aquarium and the walk through rainforest, the Body worlds exhibit, and rope course we were able to take lots of pictures and have so much fun. We will for sure be back for the Christmas lights.

Visted on a Monday in March and it wasn't very busy at all. $250 family value pass was perfect for our family of 5 to do all the attractions. Only wish we had gotten there a little earlier to have beeen able to see all 3D shows and have more time on the ropes course. You could easily spend the entire day exploring with the all inclusive pass. I personally LOVED the rainforest and could have spent hours in there. All staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. Great experience.
