Texas State Aquarium — Attraction in Corpus Christi

First time here and we loved it! We (2 adults and 5 children; 17, 15, 13, 8, 2yrs old) are from out of town and were able to get a discount since we are part of the Zoological Society.

All the outdoor exhibits gives you a change for fresh air and the bay breeze. It's only open for a few hours a day so of course it will be crowded but the hallways and walkways are very wide with lots of room for stroller/large groups...
