I don't know where to even start. From beginning to end we had a wonderful visit even though it was raining. The shows went on anyway, they brought animals into the lobby, it was excellent.

Great family atmosphere, fun, and food. Make sure to call first to find out the dolphin show because I missed it. In all you get to touch stingrays, and sharks. This place is awesome. Also their water park opens on the weekends. Great place.

My daughter loved the Dolphins! That was here favorite and the little splash park was cute. So much sea life to see there. We are regular Sea World San Antonio goers but the aquarium definately had more life to see.

Lots to see and enjoy. When you live inland it was a treat to visit and see what all the sea has to offer.

It was really nice. So much to see and take in. You could spend a much time as you want and you will want to pend at least a day there.

The aquarium is always fun! It's located right by the Lexington ship and many souvenir shops. There is a pier restaurant which is pretty good. About 10-12 for plate. And also they have an ice cream shop which is very small. The walk from the parking to entrance is a bit long. When driving to parking area you only see...

The problem is with their name and the expectation that come with "Texas State". If their name was "Corpus Christi Aquarium" they would over deliver and I would give them a 5-star. Great regional aquarium, dolphin show and petting sting rays particularlly nice.

We took our one year old to this aquarium and she loved it. The facility was very clean and staff friendly. It was very easy to get around the facility. They have all the great stuff that you would expect. We arrived at around 130 and was able to see the whole place by 400. I thought the admission was...

We arrived at about 11-45am at the Aquarium on Wednesday 17th April. We paid at the entrance some $36 for two entrants and then had lunch in the snack bar in the basement. It was reasonable we then proceeded to look at the Otters enclosure, then the dolphins, Eagles etc as well as the Sting Rays. In the main facility...
