Make a splash at Hurricane Alley! The Coastal Bend's largest and newest waterpark. The park features exciting attractions and plenty of water so you can cool off under the Texas sun. Experience the rush of the 6-story Cat 5 water slide, race down the Storm Chaser speed slide, battle the waves of the Storm Surge, or get carried away in the Gulf Stream lazy river. There are also designated areas where pint-sized visitors can have fun made just for them, and swim-up bars where adults can enjoy a drink without ever leaving the water.
At least once in everyone's life there has to be a visit to a small town's very own Rialto Theater, a classic Americana name meaning the theater district. In the Texas Coastal Bend, Aransas Pass has a visual arts, music and live theater performance forum right in the heart of downtown, one of the few remaining Rialtos to survive and even prosper in the country located just minutes from downtown Corpus Christi. The renovating revival of the original building which marked the birth of a new vision is yours to see and experience with a year-round event schedule packed with traditional and eclectic performances in a 100-seat theater auditorium, a 40-seat beer/wine bar, gallery and lobby for art exhibits. Although the Rialto has been walloped by not one but two hurricanes, the grand lady has survived and is proudly waiting for you.
Be a part of a Corpus Christi tradition by running in the Beach to Bay Relay Marathon. This sporting event is the largest relay marathon in the nation and it's waiting for you to sign up today. Plenty of teams from across the country compete seriously, and there are also plenty of teams that just do it for the fun of it.
For red-blooded American men, nothing screams "romance" like a big, juicy steak. Ladies, when it's your turn to plan date night, treat your man to a romantic dinner at Katz 21 Steak & Spirits. The restaurant has a little something for everyone, including top-shelf drinks, live music and of course, delicious food.
