Butler Signature Events

Make a splash at Hurricane Alley, the Coastal Bend's largest and newest waterpark, which 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. There are also swim-up bars where adults can enjoy a drink without leaving the water.

An architectural gem on the city's bayfront, The Art Center of Corpus Christi is home to 11 arts organizations, and showcases works from local and area artists in rotating exhibitions. The 14,400-square-foot building houses a main gallery and four studios, including a clay studio that encourages artists to complete works-in-progress in front of visitors. The Art Center also offers art classes, to express your own creativity in photos, watercolors, oils, sculpture or other media. Workshops, outreach projects and other events to promote the arts to the public are an integral part of the Art Center of Corpus Christi as well.
