Moody Gardens
Only an hour’s drive from Houston, Moody Gardens has so many different attractions contained within its trio of pyramids that you’ll want to visit this sprawling hub of learning and fun more than once. Indeed, you could spend a whole week here. It features a 12-story aquarium pyramid, another one containing tropical plants, birds, reptiles and animals, along with a water park, a 4D theatre, a beach, a golf course, a zip line and much more.
