Make a splash at Hurricane Alley! The Coastal Bend's largest and newest waterpark. The park 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, and swim-up bars where adults can enjoy a drink without ever leaving the water.

For red-blooded American men, nothing screams "romance" like a big, juicy steak. Ladies, when it's your turn to plan date night, treat your man to a romantic dinner at Katz 21 Steak & Spirits. The restaurant has a little something for everyone, including top-shelf drinks, live music and of course, delicious food.

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.
