Family Friendly Activities

Sun, sand, surf in the Coastal Bend
People flock to Coastal Bend beaches to enjoy the sun, sand and surf. But don’t forget the sunscreen. Put your toes in the sand and plug into Mother Nature at any Coastal Bend beach and before you know it, you’ll ask yourself, “What happened to the time?” Sun-worshippers come from near and far to these natural health spas for a variety of reasons — some to stroll in solitude and collect shells, some to give their kids a wet ‘n’ wild playground, some to fish in the surf and yet others to party and meet friends.

The Blue Ghost is alive with thrills for the whole family
Aboard Lexington your group will discover a ship, a people and a time unique in history - an unparalleled patriotic lesson. Commissioned in 1943, the USS LEXINGTON CV-16 served longer and set more records than any aircraft carrier in the history of the United States Navy.

Come. Sea. Discover. Texas State Aquarium
From the finned friends in Dolphin Bay to the sharp-eyed sharks in Islands of Steel to the eerie anaconda and hungry piranha in AMAZON, you’ll encounter underwater wonders that awe and amaze! The Texas State Aquarium, Corpus Christi’s most popular tourist attraction, has welcomed over 7 million visitors. The Aquarium’s vision is to inspire appreciation and wise stewardship of the Gulf of Mexico.
