It was amazing. We spent great moments during the Thanksgiving holiday. We enjoyed the Thanksgiving buffet. The light festival. The ice land, and the stay at the hotel. We will come back again during the spring holidays.

Moody Gardens is an excellent place to stay for all kinds of family/couple fun. Easy walk to many sights and attractions. Our favorite was the Aquarium pyramid. Everything seems to have been maintained fairly well and is kept nicely clean. The food on site is better than most restaurants off site. Extremely easy parking on site. Only negative for us was the queen size beds seemed small. We did not measure, but they weren’t as small as a full, just on the small side for a queen. Great vacation experience overall. Definitely recommend!

Such a fun and clean property, lots to do with the family. Room was nice, but a bit outdated and run down but sufficient. Pool is great, and the gift shop sells snacks and Starbucks coffee with was nice. Spacious lobby with plenty of seating areas and a bar. Cafe buffet was okay, had variety but not many healthy options. There is also an ice cream-pizza shop but I did not try. The pyramids were great, especially the rainforest.

We keep coming back. My grandchildren love the place. They named one of the fish in the lobby. The lobby had hot cider, peppermint, gingerbread house, train, giant nutcrackers. The mix of science and fun dominate Moody Gardens.
