Fly It Port-A

The Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History invites you to explore the natural history exhibits and a collection of artifacts that tell the history of the New World as it unfolded on the Gulf Coast. Check out the unique life-sized replicas of the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria ships. The vessels were a gift from Spain to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' voyage to the New World. They were constructed from authentic 15th-century materials, including wood from the same forest as Columbus' ships and hand-forged nails. Other exhibits include an interactive shipwreck display, artifacts related to French explorer Robert Cavelier, the Children's Wharf, Native American crafts, and bird and reptile eggs that chronicle the history and culture of South Texas.

Be a part of a Corpus Christi tradition by running in the Beach to Bay Relay Marathon, the largest and most beloved long-distance race, celebrated by many runners, reuniting them with friends they’ve made from marathons past. Test your endurance and sign up for the six-leg running event that honors the men and women serving in the United States Military with sincere pride, and all it takes is a little sweat, an occasional tear, and a bunch of smiles.
