Almost everything was interactive and appropriate for all ages. It takes less than an hour to read/see/do everything. I initially stopped because we needed some A/C and a break from the sun. However, UT Marine Science Institute should have been one of my planned travel destinations! They told us about an upcoming release of rehabilitated sea turtles. Plus, it's free.

We were very impressed with it. It's a research and education center. There were volunteers on hand to answer questions. I was told by a local that it was recently rebuilt after the damage from Hurricane Harvey. It's a beautiful facility. There were beautiful fish in tanks.

Such a great FREE experience. You can see so many different species of fish, coral and plants. It is family friendly and everyone learns something by reading different facts or interacting with various activities around the facility. 10/10 Take your family here.

One of the best free activities for toddlers in the Corpus Christi and Port Aransas area. Air conditioning, clean toilets, has toys and some aquariums of local fish. I am sure other ages would enjoy it too but totally nailed it for young learners. For an amazing kid-paced morning, start at the Turnbull Birding Center for a walk and then when you get hot, cool off at the Patton...

Very fun for kids, and free! You won't spend all day here but it's a nice place to take the kids and cool off indoors. There are several fish tanks and some great info about the local sealife. It's right on the beach too. Make sure to leave a donation to help them out and...
