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.

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!

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.

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.
