It is like a tropical paradise but without the clear ocean water. The water park at moody gardens was closed and so was the zip line due to the time of year I booked my hotel stay but the Aquarium and Rain-forest pyramids was exciting and the 4D theater experience is something I will look forward to do more of in future vacations.
