I went to Moody Gardens alone while my husband was on a fishing trip and loved it! I bought my senior ticket that included all three pyramids, a ride on the paddlewheeler, and 2 movies. For me, the Rainforest Pyramid was the best part of the experience. I took my time and enjoyed reading about the different kinds of rainforests, watching the animals, and taking pictures. Highly recommend!

Moody Gardens has two wonderful assets, in my opinion. I have always loved the Aquarium Pyramid and the Rainforest Pyramid. I went in November to see Iceland with some family. Iceland was really pretty, and it's a novelty worth seeing. We had lunch in the Garden Cafe, and the buffet was adequate, but expensive! I would recommend going later in the day during the holiday season to catch the Festival of Lights. Buy the value pass which gives access to all attractions!

We bought our tickets in advance cuz we were afraid it might not be convenient since we only wanted to see the Rainforest Pyramid and it didn't say tickets were available there. Turns out the Visitor Center is how you enter the Rainforest Pyramid so it would have been fine, AND they charged $4 extra to buy online but we still didn't get quick entry but had to go to customer service and it took them extra time to straighten things out, it would have been quicker and cheaper to buy them there. The Rainforest Pyramid could have done a bit better with signage, but that said, on the whole we enjoyed the exhibit very much and the employee at the entrance was very nice and so were several employees we talked to inside, they were informative. I'm elderly and use a walker and access was excellent! Really enjoyed the animals especially the birds, and the plants were great too. The jungle smells of the plants were very atmospheric and we had a really good time. I've heard the Rainforest Pyramid is the best part. My friend didn't think much of the gift shop but we both liked the experience and were glad we went.

We really liked the pyramids of aquarium, rainforest and discovery museum. The 3D and 4D movies were awesome. The one-day value pass was worth it. You can spend the whole day there. It was enjoyable and educational for both kids and adults. Highly recommend it!

Stayed overnight only one night. I was fine but my only complaint is that I called housekeeping to get some half and half for morning coffee and they only had the little packets of powdered creamer. Hampton Inns offer liquid creamers in rooms so I thought that was ridiculous for a huge hotel and convention center to not have available for their guests.

We had a wonderful experience. The amusement section (Rainforest Pyramid and the Aquarium) was appropriately designed for virtually all ages. The Moody Gardens Hotel was very comfortable. What made our visit particularly enjoyable was the reception that we received at the concierge desk. Michele was knowledgeable and professional, but most importantly, she made us feel most welcome.

This is a pretty nice little place. On our visit though there were tons of field trips. No one was watching these kids. They were screaming. Banging on glass and acting wild. Not your normal kids will be kids wild. WILD. Teachers were on their phones or just chatting with each other. No one was paying attention to the kids. The only fault Moody Gardens had in this is maybe don’t allow so many field trips/large groups at one time. Maybe more staff to watch out because parents/teachers weren’t doing it. Evict unruly folks. Let’s not forget we are supposed to be respecting the animals while learning. I messaged the gardens days ago with no response.

We really liked the pyramids. Very nice and well maintained. The 3d movies were a bit of a disappointment. They were very short, and I have seen much better 3d effects at other theaters. We really wanted to do the zip line, but it was just a tad too windy on the weekend we were here and it was closed. It is a great place to spend a day, and I think kids would have a great and memorable time here.

We spent the entire day here. We visited the rainforest pyramid, aquarium, took a ride on the paddle boat, and visited ice land. We even came back that night to see the Christmas lights. This is a great place for kids and families. It has something for everyone including 3D and 4D movies.

We went to Moody Gardens Friday 5/24. Rainforest was nice but overall it seems understaffed and the aquarium exhibits were not properly lit. Very strange experience. Could be so much better if better staffed. Not sure the animals were getting the best care either. Only a few concessions were open and very crowded due to a few field trip groups. We ended up leaving early.
