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.
An architectural gem on the city's bayfront, The Art Center of Corpus Christi is home to 11 arts organizations, and showcases works from local and area artists in rotating exhibitions. The 14,400-square-foot building houses a main gallery and four studios, including a clay studio that encourages artists to complete works-in-progress in front of visitors. The Art Center also offers art classes, to express your own creativity in photos, watercolors, oils, sculpture or other media. Workshops, outreach projects and other events to promote the arts to the public are an integral part of the Art Center of Corpus Christi as well.
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.
Seafood lovers, indulge! Make a trip to the Rockport-Fulton Seafair in October. The festival features a Gumbo Cook-Off, Seafood Cooking classes and demos, vendors, live bands, a carnival, cardboard boat races, a parade and more.
