Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center
Great stay! We had a blast spending 2 extra nights of our trip here after we got stranded in Galveston due to ice and snow shutting down the Dallas airport and we went to the aquarium and the rainforest pyramids. Our 8 year old loved them! The staff was wonderful and very helpful.
