The Texas State Aquarium is a major tourist attraction on the Gulf Coast receiving more than 500,000 visitors per year and is a leading educational and rehabilitation center that primarily focuses on species from the Gulf of Mexico. Exhibits explore both creatures of the gulf and the natural habitat that supports them. Some of the sections of the Texas State Aquarium include: Amazon, Dolphin Bay, Eagle Pass, Floating Phantoms, in addition to touch tanks, up-close encounters with alligators and a super-sized children's play park.

Be sure to catch the next Blue Angels air show at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi and Naval Air Station Kingsville. The two sites alternately host the show, featuring the military's most important aircrafts strutting their stuff, along with a few other crowd-pleasing attractions. It may be wise to invest in some earplugs, those jets are loud!

Stroll through meandering pathways that connect 12 Victorian homes at the Heritage Park & Cultural Center. Visit the 100-year-old Galván House, the national award-winning center that provides a variety of cultural programs throughout the year, and is also the site of outdoor festivals, concerts and other activities you will want to see. Originally, the area was known as 'Irishtown,' until severe damage from the Hurricane of 1919 swept away most of the homes from the area. The enclave of relocated houses tells the story of many well-known families who helped build and steer the city. Take a self-guided tour and look inside the homes during operating hours of the non-profits that occupy them. Guided tours are also available during the week.
