Galveston, Texas is the home of this educational tourist attraction which opened in 1986. The non-profit destination uses nature to educate and excite visitors about conservation and wildlife. This park features three main pyramid attractions: the Aquarium Pyramid, which is one of the largest in the region and holds many species of fish and other marine animals; the Rainforest Pyramid, which contains tropical plants, animals, birds, butterflies, reptiles and a variety of other rainforest animals, including free-roaming monkeys and two-toed sloths; and the Discovery Pyramid, which focuses on science-oriented exhibits and activities. This facility brings the beach to you – Palm Beach, that is. It’s a landscaped white sand beach with freshwater lagoons, a lazy river, tower slides and splash pad play area for children. Also for the young ones is RideFilm Theater with motion-simulator seating.
The MG 3D Theater features the largest screen in the state of Texas. Other fun activities include a paddlewheel cruise boat and a golf course. In 2014, the gardens opened the tallest steel ropes course on the Gulf Coast. The five-tier Sky Trail Ropes Course is five stories tall and features 48 obstacles on the rise up. The Moody Gardens Zip Line is 500 feet long and is connected to another steel tower located at the far end of Palm Beach next to the wave pool and suspending you 60 feet above Palm Beach. There’s no better way of getting a bird’s eye view of the gardens’ pyramids and tropical gardens.
