HOUSTON – Spring Break is just around the corner, and you don’t have to travel far to find fun for the family.
Starting March 7, the Downtown Aquarium is teaming up with Kemah Boardwalk and Galveston Island Pleasure Pier to offer unlimited fun with one pass at all three parks! For $79.99 per person, you get unlimited access to these three popular attractions for a Spring Break full of adventure and exploration.
Houston Life’s Melanie Camp recently checked out the fun at the Downtown Aquarium. The aquarium offers a perfect blend of fun and education, making it an ideal destination for a spring break adventure.
At the downtown aquarium, guests can immerse themselves in a world of aquatic wonders. The main exhibits feature a diverse array of fish, reptiles, and even tigers! Visitors can also interact with stingrays at the Stingray Reef.
After exploring the indoor exhibits, guests can head outside to enjoy the amusement park, which features games, rides, and a train ride that offers a unique view of a 100,000-gallon shark tank. The tank, home to sharks swimming directly overhead, is a must-see for thrill-seekers.
The aquarium’s restaurant provides a unique dining experience for those who work up an appetite. Diners can enjoy their meals surrounded by a massive 150,000-gallon aquarium, offering views of various fish species, including the intriguing unicorn fish and white-tip reef sharks.
Beyond aquatic life, the aquarium houses other animals, from tiny armadillos to a majestic 400-pound tiger named Apollo. The variety of creatures ensures there’s something for everyone to enjoy. You can even book special close-up encounters where you meet and feed some animals, including the Tigers! Check out the video above to watch Mel feed Apollo.
