Really awesome family-friendly environment!!! Lots of things to see. The new water park for kids was a huge hit.

Great for all kids. Even little ones. And adults can get drinks at the bar while the kids play in the water spray ground.
Michelle FernandezApril 9, 2012
Park across the street in the Channelside parking garage. It's cheaper and it's closer to the acquarium's entrance.

the penguins are very cute but it is entirely designed for little kids...so you can just take a stroll by at the time of the show and take a peek

Literally can do whole place in 10 mins not worth the money. It's very nice but not worth time or money. Take your kid or adults to Lowery Park
