Have a romantic dinner at what could be the nicest restaurant in Corpus Christi. Your significant other will feel like royalty when you take them out to the Republic of Texas Bar & Grill on your next date. Be sure to sample from their award winning wine list.

Take a step back into history aboard the USS Lexington Museum on the Bay, a World War II aircraft carrier with a storied history. Nicknamed "The Blue Ghost," the maritime vessel includes virtual battle stations and a flight simulator, an IMAX theater and more. Tours of the Bayfront attraction will take you through the different areas of the ship, and some guests even say they can feel the presence of the heroes who fought aboard this historic carrier.

Have some fun in the sun at the Aransas Pass Aquatic Center. The family fun attraction is equipped with water slides, and a 50,000-gallon kiddie pool to ensure the whole family has a splashing-good time. Remember to use sunscreen!

Stride the streets of Downtown Corpus Christi and experience what is perhaps the most curious, peculiar yet extraordinarily fantastic festive moments ever imagined, Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead Street Festival, celebrating the lives we knew and miss and yet joyfully inviting all not only to pay respects to the dead but also celebrate the full life that makes and solidifies our cherished memories. This rich Mexican tradition is transformed into a slice of life to its fullest, alive and kicking with multiple stages of live entertainment, traditional Mexican culture performances, and local bands. You’ll find Día de Los Muertos-themed artworks, Wall and Altars of Remembrance, craft items, jewelry, fun children’s activities, challenging games and plenty of food as the festival takes over several blocks of Downtown held at the end of October.
