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 ...

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 ...
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 The film was very outdated, shown on a noisy projector and anything worth seeing in the rain forset you can see from the outside.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. ...

Nice but too much money for too little excitement.
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, ...

Three Nights at Moody 2008
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/18/08
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 ...
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.

Nice and interesting
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/10/08
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 ...
