Years ago my husband and I went to Moody Gardens and loved it. My kids had never been and we had a friend in from California so I thought this would be a fun place to go. The ridefilm was horrible, the aquarium had very little, the "bones" museum wouldn't even keep a 5 year old interested, the dinosaur exhibit was terrible, the rainforest pyramid...what a joke. The 4D was just okay, the 3D was really good and the paddle boat ride was okay. To top it off the personnel were rude, the three different bathrooms we were in smelled like urine, were filthy and were either out of tp, paper towels or soap. The cost for water and food it outrageous. What a disappointment, and once again, do not waste your money.

We (Our 3 kids,my husband and I)went to Moody Gardens on July 5,2009.It was a Complete waste of our time. This place is way over priced for the service and attractions. The dinosaurs a live is for babies. The rainforest had no animals maybe a few birds that’s all. We have gone to other rainforest exhibits before that had many different types of animals. The aquarium was nothing special. We asked the employee questions and got the wrong answer on more than one occasion. They were not friendly. We will never go back to Moody Gardens ever again it was a total waste of our time and money. The kids were very board and didn’t’ want to stay very long. .It didn't take very long for us to see everyhing there was to see.We had to walk from the parking lot to the exhibits which is not close together. They said that they had shuttles but, we never saw one.Believe me by the time we left I knew why they called it Moody Gardens we were all very moody.

There were no animals in the Rainforest besides about 5 birds and one anaconda. It didn't take very long to walk through and look at various plants. The little maze for the kids was neat but all in all I wouldn't go back for the price $10/person. A worker in the Rainforest said they were revamping everything but they wouldn't have their animals back until summer of 2010.

Aquarium is just like any other. Ride film was a complete joke. The film was very outdated, shown on a noisy projector and anything worth seeing in the rain forset you can see from the outside. Dont waste your money. We spent $158 for a family of 5 and everyone left saying how boring it was. Employess are rude.

First off, to get into all three attractions one must buy the day pass, which is $50. For $50 we were expecting a little more. The aquarium is nothing spactacular. They have one big tank, in the center and everything else around it. The rainforest was a HUGE disappointment. There were some birds, but overall it was hot and nothing really to see. For the exhibition pyramid, the Titanic articles where on display. They showed very good artifacts but it was just too crowded. The displays where too close together and you had to wait in line to read one display. The imax theater was the best part of the day. You can never go wrong with the Imax. The 4-D theather was fun, but too short, and so was the ridefilm. On top of all that, you can only go on once, you can't see more movies or shows unless you buy the more tickets which are too expensive to begin with. Our experience there was not worthwhile. I am not planning to waist money or gas there.

Moody Gardens was nice and clean. Nothing spectacular though. At $50.00 per person I expected more for my money. We were only allowed to view each section once and wasn't really impressed with what I did see. The graphics on the ride film were not very good at all. The 4D movie was okay.. very relaxing.... I fell asleep. Titanic was okay, but not spectacular. Aquarium and rain forest were nice... not alot to them but nice. Overall it is a decent place to visit once... but not for the price. I don't believe I would go back and really wish I would have used the money to spend 2 days at Schlitterbahn's instead.

Moody Gardens is very nice destination if you like a vacation home base and you're an early riser like me with a family that sleeps in. Morning coffee in lobby is great...attractions are very good. Don't recommend Titanic, not worth the extra $5 a head to get in. 3D movies at Imax are great, expecially for kids, other attractions such as aquarium, rain forest and man-made Palm beach are good. Buy the package, better deal and don't expect to go multiple times...once is enough. We drove a couple of miles and ate at What-a-burger for breakfast and saved a bundle. Did doughnuts the 2nd day on way to beach. Will come again, as we need a good destination from D/FW and this is very good. Getting around Galveston is easy, but given triangular vector of roads leading toward east, be sure and check a map as you'll get turned around when traveling back west from seawall. Very polite staff and strong family atmosphere....highly recommend for a couple of days max.

We went to see the Titanic display, and it was a total waste of money. Very few interesting items displayed, & too crowded. Staff was not very friendly either. Please don't waste your money on viewing this display. You can see more on Discovery Channel. We would not eat there, and opted for a restraunt on the Seawall. Moody Gardens is way overpriced for what you get. We won't ever go back.

I have stayed at this hotel many times based on the AA conferences that I attend. The hotel is lovely however it's too expensive. They don't give anything for all the money that you pay there. The massages are good but still not much bang for your buck. They are expensive summer or winter and that's not good.Rooms are very nice and so is everything else.

Moody Gardens is a nice place and somewhat unique. From an artificial rainforest to IMAX theaters it has an array of things to see. We viewed from the perspective of entertainment for a family with small kids. From that perspective its appeal was a bit limited. The 3D movies were neat. The kids found the rain forest pyramid interesting (personally I found the sales pitch of it being just like a real rainforest overrated). The aquarium was entertaining enough although I've seen several aquariums more impressive. The rest held very little interest for the kids. For what it offered to the family it was a tad pricey but not outrageous. Seemed like it actually has more too offer older adults looking for infotainment. Not saying you shouldn't take your kids but don't expect that it is a full day of entertainment for them.
