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 Room was nice, but a bit outdated and run down but sufficient.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.
