4 Best Day Trips from Houston
"It's hard to miss the aquarium, the key attraction at Moody Gardens—it is, after all, a huge glass pyramid. It's filled with sharks, stingrays, and seals; but the highlight are the otter and penguin encounters that let you get up close and personal with the animals. If you're lucky you might even get to see some of their training in action. This is a perfect stop for kids who need a break from the sun and sand in Galveston." - Diana Oates
