We took out 10 year old son and his best friend for the weekend. They loved the aquarium and did we. The splash park was so much fun for the kids. Plan on taking swim suits for the kids plus towels.

We went as a couple and it was fine. Pretty crowded with kids wandering all over, some attended, some not. If we had had kids, though, it would've been amazing.

This place is the most beautiful attraction for family in corpus Christi tx. Great shows! My kids had so much fun. Shows are 15 min Long. My favorite show were the birds! Great animal encounters. Aquarium is wonderful. Some fish know that you are there to watch them. They even get near the glass for pictures.

I don't know where to even start. From beginning to end we had a wonderful visit even though it was raining. The shows went on anyway, they brought animals into the lobby, it was excellent.

Great family atmosphere, fun, and food. Make sure to call first to find out the dolphin show because I missed it. In all you get to touch stingrays, and sharks. This place is awesome. Also their water park opens on the weekends. Great place.

My daughter loved the Dolphins! That was here favorite and the little splash park was cute. So much sea life to see there. We are regular Sea World San Antonio goers but the aquarium definately had more life to see.

Lots to see and enjoy. When you live inland it was a treat to visit and see what all the sea has to offer.

It was really nice. So much to see and take in. You could spend a much time as you want and you will want to pend at least a day there.

The aquarium is always fun! It's located right by the Lexington ship and many souvenir shops. There is a pier restaurant which is pretty good. About 10-12 for plate. And also they have an ice cream shop which is very small. The walk from the parking to entrance is a bit long. When driving to parking area you only see... More
