Rose Soiree

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.

Come aboard, matey, and have a blast on the open water as you sail toward the unforgettable Port Aransas views on the Island Queen II and the Mustang. Start the day with dolphin sightings and end with gorgeous sunset cruises for a day you’ll never forget. Between bay fishing, dolphin watching nature tours, and birding, there’s no shortage of new things to try on deck.
