Boasting a six-acre dining and entertainment complex, the Downtown Aquarium features geographic exhibits and over 300 marine species from around the world. You can also ride a Ferris wheel and so much more. Here is some of what you can enjoy at this spectacular aquarium near our Houston apartments.

Shipwreck

Inside Shipwreck, you'll learn about several species that call the ocean home. One of the highlights includes the moray eels. A type of fish, these creatures mainly live in saltwater habitats. They hide in deep ocean crevices and rarely venture into the shores. Moray eels are carnivores. During mealtime, they feast on shrimp, crabs, and small fish. While they have poor vision, their keen sense of smell helps them find prey in the ocean waters.

Parrot Meet and Greet

Get up close to the aquarium's colorful parrots. You will participate in a training session and take a picture with your new feathery friends. This fun experience typically lasts between twenty and thirty minutes. You can easily book a spot online.

Dining

Also offering an underwater adventure, the on-site restaurant features a floor-to-ceiling 150,000 aquarium. It's filled with more than 100 fascinating species that will swim by your table. You'll see groupers, reticulated rays, and more. Behind the scenes, the culinary team creates the menu from scratch. They use the finest ingredients, and their delicious offerings pair well with your favorite adult beverages. Dishes include Beyond Burgers, top sirloin, and fried seafood platters. Wash your meal down with a Blue Marlin martini or the refreshing Captain's Punch.

The Downtown Aquarium is just one of many exciting places to visit in Houston. For another fun activity, try indoor rock climbing at a nearby gym.
