The Texas State Aquarium is officially ready for summer with the opening of Ocean Odyssey, a new immersive children’s discovery center designed to inspire play, exploration, and connections with wildlife rescue.<\/p>\n
The attraction gives families a chance to enjoy fun-filled activities indoors. Nathan Smith, an aquarium visitor, brought his two boys to explore the new space.<\/p>\n
“It keeps kids more engaged. You know they enjoy the aquarium, but usually it’s for an hour and then they’re ready to do something else,” Smith said. “But, now, you got a lot of things that pull kids in different directions so they can enjoy different aspects of it.”<\/p>\n
Smith worked and volunteered at the Texas State Aquarium has a teenager. He said its great to see his children enjoying the aquarium.<\/p>\n
Ocean Odyssey is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Families can also cool off in the H-E-B Splash Park, weather permitting.<\/p>\n
