Although we enjoyed our overall stay, I had to ask for some of the amenities included in the Groupon. After asking about the lemonade and snacks three times, I finally received them at 11 PM. Also, I did not have a pyramid or a bay-view room. My room overlooked the waterpark which was closed.

Stay at Moody Gardens to immerse yourself in a world-class blend of coastal luxury and educational wonder, surrounded by tropical gardens, pioneering attractions, and committed conservation initiatives—all with southern elegance and historical gravitas!

Galveston, TX: Gateway to Gulf Coast Grandeur

Steeped in maritime legacy and Southern charm, Galveston is a storied island city where history meets coastal vitality. Once known as the “Wall Street of the South,” Galveston rose to prominence in the 19th century as a bustling port and financial hub. Today, its meticulously preserved Victorian architecture, such as the Strand Historic District and Bishop’s Palace, bears testament to its former glory. The city’s historical resilience—especially in the aftermath of the devastating 1900 hurricane—has become a defining part of its identity, earning it a place of pride in Texas lore.

Beyond its historical allure, Galveston thrives as a dynamic seaside destination with a rhythm all its own. Miles of sun-kissed beaches line the Gulf, drawing visitors to places like Stewart Beach and the Seawall for family-friendly fun and tranquil ocean views. Moody Gardens, with its glass pyramids, and the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier provide entertainment steeped in wonder. Whether you're strolling past antique storefronts or embarking on a dolphin-watching cruise, Galveston offers a compelling blend of nostalgia, culture, and coastal beauty that endures through time.

About Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa & Convention Center

As if in 30th-century Egypt, a collection of towering glass pyramids welcomes travelers to the Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center—a contemporary lodge surrounded by 242 acres of botanical landscaping. From each room's window, views of scenic marinas and the City of Galveston tempt guests to venture outside the building, sacrificing amenities such as a pool with a swim-up bar, hot tub, and outdoor jogging track.

Outside, though, the glass pyramids herald a bigger temptation: Moody Gardens itself, a sprawling collection of attractions and educational exhibits. A 3-D IMAX theater treats viewers to eye-popping nature documentaries and movies, and creatures ranging from harbor seals to penguins frolic within a 1.5-million-gallon aquarium. Within the 10-story Rainforest Pyramid, creatures such as Chinese alligators crawl about the floor as butterflies flutter in the canopy. Elsewhere, a replica of an 1800s-style paddle wheel ferries up to 800 passengers on one-hour cruises, all the while tooting its horn in disbelief at their newfangled fashions.
