Moody Gardens, Galveston

Created on Tuesday, 18. September 2007.

The resort we stayed in the night before we left for our cruise.
Having read about Moody Gardens, we decided that it was worth having a look. This interesting complex on the edge of the city has several large glass pyramids. One houses a fantastic aquarium where visitors may walk above, below and through the array of tropical fish and underwater vegetation. The 3-D Imax theatre has several programs and there are a number of active rides. But our favourite was the tropical rain forest pyramid which combines several different regional rain forests with an abundant collection of birds, butterflies and tropical fish freely moving about the structure. With new additions being added every year, Moody Gardens is becoming a very popular attraction in the Galveston area.
