Hey everyone!..Im starting this thread out of pure curiosity.While i am very familiar to the Dallas Aquarium downtown,Im only used to seeing Houston's from the freeway when im visiting. However i do seem to like how houston's is lit up at night. If there is anyone here who has been to both ,I would love to hear the comparison and why one is better than the other.....thanx

houston's aquarium is way way too kiddy. and what on earth does a white tiger have to do with the ocean??

either way, the georgia aquarium blows both out the water (pun intended)

LOL...No one bought up Atlanta's aquarium because it blows every aquarium out the water...It's the largest in the world....but I do think Dallas aquarium is a LIL better than Houston's..

The Dallas aquarium is much better than the Houston Downtown Aquarium. The one in Houston is basically a restaurant with somewhat of an aquarium attached. The aquarium in Galveston is better than both.

I agree. I haven't been to the Dallas Aquarium, but the one in Moody Gardens is about ten times better the the Houston Downtown Aquarium.

The Downtown Aquarium in Houston is owned by the guy that owns Landry's restaurants, right?

^^Yep.

So it actually is an aquarium? My relatives in Houston always told me that it a restaurant with fish swimming around.

Moody Gardens in Galveston is really cool. I don't care for the one in Downtown Houston. Although I went before they got the white tiger which I would actually like to go see.
