Take a peek and see what the welcome page has to say about this great Houston Family Fun destination:"Downtown Aquarium is the product of redeveloping two downtown Houston landmarks – Fire Station No. 1 and the Central Waterworks Building.

About the Downtown Aquarium

I love walking through all 8 exhibits they have to offer. My favorite has to be the white tiger exhibit and the newly opened stingray reef. My little ones love exploring through the Louisiana Swamp exhibit. Or spending time in the education room where they can get up close and personal to a wide assortment of animals. I'll never forget their squeals of delight as they reached in and touched a real starfish. Watching their eyes light up in excitement as they learn and explore is such a sweet treat for me to see!Spending afternoons in their adorable company is so incredibly important. I know one day they'll be too cool to want to spend the day with me looking at all the Nemo fishies. So for now, I'll treasure their precious giggles and capture as many memories with them as I can! 

Whether you're looking for a nice dinner spot in downtown Houston, or are wanting to take the kiddos for a day to escape summer's heat, the Downtown Aquarium is the perfect spot to make some wonderful memories!
