    I was pretty surprised with the new addition to the Aquarium, very nice clean and now worth the price of admission. Way to go Corpus, way to put it back into the city and bring in more tourist!!

    The marsh pier is a great spot for photos of the aquarium, bridge, downtown and the Lexington. Come near closing time for best shots.

    BEST AQUARIUM IN THE STATE! The dolphin show is amazing get there an hour before show cause seating fills up QUICK. You can touch sting rays, and star fish! And their jelly fish exhibit is amazing!

    There are some really neat exhibits and everything was very well kept and organized. We saw the 11:30am dolphin show (free with admission) and loved it! Go here if you need a break from the beach

    Dolphin show was great!!!!! The aquarium is smaller than I thought it would be. It is right next to the Lexington and the Art Museum though. There are plenty of hotels, motels around it too. :-)

    Great place to visit for the whole family! Exhibits are always added and improving so come again. Plus with the aquarium's conservation and rehabilitation efforts, you're supporting a great cause too!

    Dolphin show was good and they had opportunities to touch stingrays, crabs, and even jelly fish! The employees were available at each stop to answer questions and were so sweet.

    Great for the family. Bring the kids swim clothes and towels in the summer so they can play in the splash park and you can sit down for a break.

    Looking for a quiet place to relax while your little one has fun? There is a children activity room on the third floor where kids can do crafts, do puppet shows and puzzles while you sit for a bit.

    If you're visiting during the Summer or other busy times of the year, pre-purchase your tickets at the Aquarium website and you can skip the line. Just redeem your printed tickets at guest services.

    Dollar admission days are on the first Sunday in December and MLK day. But just a heads up it'll be the busiest days at the Aquarium too. 7,000-8,000 people and a line lasting around an hour.

    Get your trays of fish to feed the dolphins early. They give you a ticket to redeem when it's time for the show. They only have a limited amount of trays. I you wait till show time it's too late.

    When you get your tickets at admissions make sure you get a schedule and a map. Makes planning your itinerary a lot easier and you won't miss your favorite show.

    Stop supporting the captivity of porpoises, dolphins and orcas. Your money would be better spent helping conservation efforts for these animals to survive and thrive in the wild.

    On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle reached the surface of the moon, and "the Eagle has landed" was heard around the world. You can see a real eagle, Grace, in the Eagle Pass exhibit. Read more

    Want to get splashed by a Dolphin during the show? There's a higher chance of that if you sit on the left side of the arena.
