Get Your Adventure Fix at Moody Gardens

Looking for a fun, family-friendly destination? Head to Galveston’s Moody Gardens, where boredom is banned, and adventure takes the wheel. From epic pyramids to zip lines, this spot is basically a playground for all ages. Here are the attractions you don’t want to miss:

Pyramids Spark Curiosity

The pyramids at Moody Gardens are basically three slices of fun packed into one spot. First up, the Rainforest Pyramidlets you step into a tropical paradise—minus the mosquito bites. Next, there’s the Aquarium Pyramid, where penguins steal the show, jellyfish bring the chill vibes and sharks add just the right amount of edge. Finally, the Discovery Pyramid flips science into an interactive playground. The current The Art of Music Experience showcases large-scale, hand painted album covers, displays and neon from The Art of Music Collection, themed educational exhibits and fan activation.

Next Level Entertainment

Moody Gardens knows how to turn movie-watching into an experience worth talking about. Its 3D and 4D theaters go beyond your average flick, throwing in killer visuals, surround sound and a little extra spice like mist and wind in the 4D setup. The MG 3D Theater proudly showcases some of Texas’ biggest screens, playing films packed with nature, science and adventure that are equal parts entertaining and sneakily educational.

Wildlife Experiences

Animal lovers are in for a treat. You’ll have the chance to meet and learn about a variety of creatures from land and sea. Get up close to penguins, seals and turtles in the Aquarium Pyramid or spot free-flying birds and fascinating reptiles in the Rainforest Pyramid. For a truly memorable experience, check out the penguin encounters where you can meet these adorable birds face-to-face and learn about their care and conservation.

Ropes Course & Zip Line

Looking for a family adventure that’s equal parts fun and slightly terrifying? Check out the ropes course and zip line! The ropes course has levels for everyone, from cautious beginners to experts. And the zip line? It’s the cherry on top. Soar above Moody Gardens like you own the place, enjoying the views while wondering why you agreed to this in the first place.

Palm Beach Summer 2025

When summer shows up, so does Palm Beach. Think sandy beaches, a lazy river and a wave pool that practically beg for your sunscreen-coated self. Kids will be busy sliding and splashing like they’ve never seen water before, while adults kick back under umbrellas, channeling their inner vacation pro. Hungry? Thirsty? No problem—snacks and drinks are just steps away, making it the ultimate all-day hangout.
