    It's a great place to visit. A beautiful place that holds amazing animals and it's a great experience. It holds a cinema, a little aquarium that allows us to feel stingrays, starfish, and jellyfish. The tropical pyramid holds exotic creatures. Overall it's a very well kept place by the staff. It could be better if the discovery pyramid held more hands on activities for kids.

    Loved it loved it loved it! My 11 year old daughter loved it. This is a place where you can spend all day enjoying the several areas they offer. The aquarium and beach/water area was my favorite. It's clean and family oriented. It was definitely a great experience for us.

    A great place for the whole family to visit. They rescue animals and give them a good home at Moody Gardens. They go above and beyond for their animals which is very nice to see. They make sure their facilities are very accessible to everyone both kids adults elderly and those needing extra assistance getting around. They are also service dog friendly and we'll also go above and beyond to accommodate people with disabilities. It's a very clean facility as well and is especially nice and quiet in the mornings during the week. The employees are very knowledgeable about the animals and can always teach me new things every time I go.

    Really well done and educational too. A great variety of marine life arranged in enticing and engaging aquariums. You can easily spend a couple hours or more here. The staff are all friendly and ready to help too. A wonderful place for family entertainment!

    I somehow managed to arrive on a special senior day, although I hadn't planned on it. Thankfully because of that, it only cost me $30.00 instead of the usual sixty for a day of "activities" at Moody Garden. Unless you wish to partake in Sponge Bob Square pants or Ninja turtles, at that time of year I really only had 3 options. The 1) the 4D movie, 2) the Rain Forest, and 3) the Aquarium. I learned that 4D is essentially 3D with seats that vibrate and poke you in appropriate places in the movie, and also spritzed me with water when the movie thought it would be a good idea. Personally I much prefer the 3D where I don't get wet. Also, the movie was a BBC special, and was NOT in 3D, although there were some very minor 3D effects. It was about sharks, but I mainly wanted the 3D, which really was not part of the movie. The rest was about the same. The Rain Forest was nice, but nothing out of the ordinary, and compared to some big name aquariums, this one also was nothing special. Perhaps it was worth the $30.00 that I spent, it certainly was NOT worth $60.00. I also did get the buffet in the "visitor center" which was very non remarkable. The waitress was very nice however.
