    Amazingly spacious as one would expect for Texas - so many things to do at this hotel, specially for toddlers and kids. The pool is huge and full of activities for all ages - bar for adults and water toys for the lil’ ones., The pool feels like a luxury in this steam room summer climate in Galveston. The southern charm and southern hospitality were truly felt by our family at Moody Garden. We didn’t have time for the pyramids so we must visit you again!!

    I truly adore this establishment. The staff members are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. The exhibits are enjoyable, and all the animals appear to be in excellent health and condition. We particularly enjoyed the "Dinos Alive" exhibit, where we observed animatronic dinosaurs and excavated bones in the sand. The aquarium offered a wonderful opportunity to interact with rays, and the rainforest exhibit was simply superb. I could easily spend an entire day here, and in fact, we did!

    Absolutely a magical place... worth the price of admission! Took my entire family for my Ma's 90th birthday.... EVERYONE had an amazing day! Staff was more than generous and friendly. Learned more than I could have imagined. Food was good. Around $20 a plate. Only got through about half of all the attractions, definitely looking forward to going back!!

    We bought our tickets from Groupon for all three pyramids and waves, plus we got to do a ziplining activity. Overall, Moody Gardens is a full-day picnic spot that's also educational for kids and offers an amazing experience. Every person coming to Galveston must visit this location and should not miss Moody Gardens and the aquarium for sure. It's totally worth it.

    Super fun place. We did not know before that they have so many different things to do inside. Must buy the value pass as it includes everything that the garden has to offer. Watched many 3D/4D shows that everyone loved. Visited the 3 pyramids and the zip line. Water park is also there but we missed it as we were not prepared with the swimming gears. Plan for a full day. Thanks to JeanCarlos for all the information and personal guidance.
