At the TX State Aquarium, it?s always better to arrive early because the site offers more than enough attractions to pack your whole day with fun, excitement, and yes, new facts to ponder about marine life and habitat conservation.

Considered one of the finest attractions in Texas, the Corpus Christi aquarium park offers a wide variety of daily shows to entertain visitors of all ages. These shows include Dolphin Training and encounters with stingrays, otters and turtles, and raptors and other exotic animals, as well as exhibits of underwater flowers and coral reefs.

If you?re interested in getting better acquainted with any of the aquarium?s marine animals, the Texas State Aquarium offers a number of special close-encounter programs. With the Texas State Aquarium Explorer program, visitors go aboard a 100-foot luxury yacht and enjoy a cruise around Corpus Christi. There?s also the Trainer for a Day program, which allows visitors to work with professional trainers and, of course, lots of adorable dolphins.
