The Texas State Aquarium is a major tourist attraction on the Gulf Coast that receives 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 sections of the Texas State Aquarium include Amazon, Dolphin Bay, Eagle Pass, and Floating Phantoms. In addition, they have touch tanks, up-close encounters with stingrays, and a super-sized children's play park.

Head out toward the Island to experience the food and environment of the Padre Island Burger Company. This popular hangout serves up some amazing gourmet burgers - we recommend the Mr. Beckham - and the atmosphere here is laid-back and nothing short of island chic. Live music and great drink specials also add to the Burger Company's appeal.

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.

Make your debut at one of the biggest parties in the city at the annual Buc Days Celebration every April. Don't miss out on the parade, carnival, concerts and rodeo that take place at this festival every year.
