My children and I met a play group at the Aquarium this morning. It was $16 for an all day pass which gives you admittance to the aquarium and all of the rides. Children under 2 are free! Parking was $6.
We loved all of the exhibits. This aquarium is not as large as other aquariums I have visited but they have everything displayed very nicely with great lighting, accessories, and effects. They had some fabulous exhibits that had me squealing like I was a child again! The white tiger exhibit at the end is absolutely stunning and it is incredible to be that close to such a large animal.
The Shark Voyage train ride was very fun. Stopping in the tunnel with all of the different sharks swimming around was very interesting. The ferris wheel gives a great view of downtown Houston and I-45. The carousel is a carousel except you sit on different water animals. The fountains shooting up out of the ground was a perfect way to end the day!
We also enjoyed lunch, however, for the budget minded it would be recommended to bring a packed lunch!
