About the Moody Gardens

moody gardens aquarium

Established in 1986, Moody Gardens is a non-profit educational tourist destination which aims to educate and entertain visitors, while they learn about conservation and wildlife. The Gardens feature a diverse form of entertainment and accommodations including theatres, a hotel, plus a wide golf course.

Moody Gardens features three pyramid attractions: 

  1. Aquarium
  2. Rainforest
  3. Discovery pyramids

The exhibits are self-paced. However, each section will take about forty-five minutes to go through, so be sure to plan ahead!

It is educational in the sense that you can see diverse species of marine, rainforest animals and science exhibits. There is also a landscaped beach with white sand, called the Palm Beach. 

Finally, be sure to check out the RideFilm Theater with motion based-pod seating.

Moody Garden Tickets  and Ways to Save

Price of individual admission to Moody Gardens varies depending on what you want to see!

There are one-day value passes that allow access to the main attractions, including the Aquarium, Rainforest, 3D Theater, 4D Theater, Audience Recognition Theater, Colonel Paddlewheeler, and Dinos Alive (Palm Beach, Discovery Museum, Ropes Course and Zip Line will remain closed until further notice). Right now as things are different during the pandemic, single day passes are $80 – $85 for adults and $70 – $75 for kids 4-12 and seniors 65+.

Guests are encouraged to buy tickets online if possible or to have a cashless payment option on hand if buying on premises.
