Aquarium Eperience, Dinosaurs, Da
Vinci & More at Moody Gardens
Things are heating up – and expanding – at Moody Gardens
this summer with the highly anticipated grand reveal of the
Aquarium Pyramid, following a multi-phase $37 million
renovation project.
A new Humboldt Penguin Habitat, Mangrove Lagoon touch
tank home to stingrays and sharks and a multi-level 30,000
gallon Oil Rig Tank are just a few of the treasures guests will
discover when the aquarium opens to the public on May 27.
Guests will journey to new depths, exploring the Gulf of
Mexico, South Atlantic, South Pacific, North Pacific and
the Caribbean. Not only will guests get to meet the new
warm-climate Humboldt Penguins, they’ll also delight in
the whimsical and colorful Jellyfish Gallery, get hands-on at
several new touch tanks, see a real life pirate ship inside the
Caribbean Exhibit and much more.

of innovation, creativity, science and wonder amid beautiful

This hands-on examination of da Vinci’s life is open May 27,
2017-Jan. 8, 2018 in the Discovery Museum. Throughout the
exhibition’s themed galleries, visitors will discover the breadth
and scope of da Vinci’s incredibly advanced understanding of
science, mathematics, nature and the relationship between the
three. The artist’s intricate and extraordinary early concepts
are spotlighted, including his design for the helicopter, tank,
SCUBA, crane, clock, submarine and his plan for a modern
city.
