Top 49 things to do and attractions in Corpus Christi

This was such an amazing visit! It is a bit on the pricy side (+$7 parking) but it’s worth it since the money goes to help the rescue and animals! I went during a weekday so it wasn’t packed at all. I was only planning on staying for an hour or two and ended up staying until close. I was able to catch the dolphin show at 3pm, which was magnificent!! The water is beautiful from there. They have swings where you can relax and watch the water or the USS Lexington, which is right next door! The aquarium itself has so many cool fish and staff who truly love their job! They are attentive and informative! I loved my visit here and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting!

Beautiful way to spend a very hot day. I'm a total aquarium nerd, and this was a treat! Lots of good info on the various species. Animals are healthy and happy. The dolphin show was so cute, you can tell they are having a blast!

Absolutely loved the dolphins show! Also, the otters are so fun to watch. Very interesting and informative. My grandchildren enjoyed everything. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the price. I understand the animals have needs and I love that they rehabilitate a lot of them. But, it was $300 for 3 adults and 2 children. We stayed 2 hours but we missed an entire side, so I recommend getting there no later than 2.

My experience at the Texas State Aquarium with my family was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly staff, breathtaking exhibits, and an atmosphere full of excitement and wonder. The interactive displays kept our kids engaged the entire time, and the variety of marine life — from dolphins and sea turtles to sharks and stingrays — was incredible to see up close. The entire facility was clean, well-organized, and perfect for a full day of fun and learning. It was a memorable family outing that we’ll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommend it for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking to experience the beauty of the ocean without leaving Texas!

The aquarium has beautiful tanks filled with happy critters. The birds are beautiful and the layout of well thought out. The staff genuinely seem to love what they do. Like most large aquariums it’s not an inexpensive day, but certainly worth the time and effort to see.

We had an absolutely amazing time at the aquarium, which proved to be a fantastic way to spend our day. The aquarium provided a vast amount of information on various species and offered numerous attractions. The dolphin show was truly spectacular, and the facility offered a range of food and drink options, as well as clean, well-designed bathrooms, making it perfect for families.

We enjoyed our time here. The layout was really nice. Lots to see. Kids had fun. Our only thing was we thought it was a little pricey to not included parking. Welcome to a tourist town I guess.

Visiting the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi was an unforgettable experience. The ship is massive and full of history, with well-preserved exhibits and interactive sections. One of the highlights was meeting Richard in the engine room he took the time to explain how the carrier operated and shared fascinating personal anecdotes. Talking with him truly brought the ship to life and made the visit even more special. If you're in the area, don’t miss this piece of naval history and the chance to meet passionate people like Richard.

Definitely a must to go see, but plan most of the day if you want to see it all, it's a big ship. They have bathrooms, cafeteria, a movie theater and a gift shop of course. Best if you don't go during the heat of the summer, not many cool spots. But if you don't mind sweating go ahead, they do have a little cooler spots here and there. Fun for the whole family and a big part of history.

My kids enjoyed the tour ages 16 and 11. The tour took about 2 hrs. It’s self guided. In a world where kids are glued to their phones and social media it captured their attention. I do not recommend this tour for toddlers, heels, dressy clothing or people with walking restrictions. Their is a lot of climbing (ladder style stairs). Dont forget to take your free picture, it cost $35 for the print out but the digital versions using the QR code are free. Parking was $5 directly across the street. It’s so much to do in the area so bring beach stuff, strollers etc to enjoy the day in the surrounding area.

Came here spur of the moment. And really enjoyed it. This one lasted us half a day and we didn't finish looking at everything. There is so much to do and see. The crew is friendly the place is neat. There are some areas where you can spot hints of the past. The renovated and up kept areas of the ship suddenly contrasted by the subtle reminders that yes, this ship did see war, fought in battles, and has aged. Love it. Highly recommend this spot for a visit if your a military buff.

Very interesting self-guided tour. Can catch a free cart ride up the gangway. The steps are steep and narrow to the different levels so wear good shoes if going.

Went here a few weeks ago. Kid friendly. This place was absolutely amazing. They have 5 different tours to choose from and they explain everything about the ship, to the crew, the historical aspects, military honor, they even have a section on here about Pearl Harbor. Be prepared to learn about the history. If you want to get your steps in for the day, this is the place. Spent 5 hours here and walked over 10K steps. Highly recommend this for a day trip.

Great experience! There is a lot to learn not only about this ship, but a few others as well as about the crews that lived aboard. Note that while walking through the below decks, there are a few rooms that are very cold, which I would think would be a good break in between on the hotter days. It does take a good amount of time to walk and to listen/read everything.

Cool off on a Hot afternoon learning about local history! HEB play area with slide and interactive areas. Western sidewalk and Buc Days Dresses! Mineral & Shipping History. Kids loved it!

We loved the interactive features for the kids, the little planetarium and each exhibition. There's something for everyone to enjoy. We will go again whenever we can.

We had our HEB family fun day here!! Was amazing. My grand babies loved it! 😀

My almost 3 year old and I had a blast. There was plenty to see and we were there for about an hour and half.

Second time visiting this place. Hasn't changed since the last time but my daughter was younger back then. She wanted to visit and see it again now that she's older. As before, she enjoyed the exhibits and interacting with the hands on exhibits as well. Highly recommend for families with children.

Very cool place, lots of things to look at but staff is very rude. Was rude and seemed like no one wanted us to be there. Was told 3 times when they close and followed us around at times checking on us to see when we were leaving. More than 30 min left telling us they close. If you dont want people here up until 5pm, chamge your hours to accommodate that or stop letting people in. We came at like 3:30 and felt rushed almost the entire time

This a very well laid out, comprehensive, and interesting museum. The primary areas are: Spanish & French exploration, rocks & gems, fossils, Kenedy ranch family history & possessions, and local history. There were many relics from old Spanish sailing vessels . We read most everything, and were there about four hours. Gave a different perspective on European exploration and all the treasure that were brought back to Europe.

While we were visiting Corpus Christi, we came across the art museum, it was a building showcasing some local talent, and art pieces from abroad. We had a great time learning about the history of the city. The art pieces were unique and did represent the south Texas and it culture. So if your looking for something to do then this is your place to sight see for easily over an hour.

This gorgeous space was designed by architect Philip Johnson and is a lovely environment to experience art. The building really harmonizes with its location on the waters edge of Corpus Christi Bay. Although the museum seems to be dedicated primarily to contemporary art, there is a small but very high quality permanent collection of Spanish Colonial art.

I've been to this museum several times over the years. My last visit was sometime back. The museum is very nice and the art exhibits are always interesting to look at. If you're in the area, take a break from the beach one day and check this museum out. You won't be disappointed.

Great deal! $10 for a good chunk of art, SUPER reasonably priced stuff in the gift shop. I was surprised and grateful that the souvenirs were affordable. The staff was really friendly. The place was wheelchair accessible, except the 3rd floor which had loose carpet that made it a little harder to wheel around and a narrow walkway around the conference tables. The wheelchairs they provide for patrons were also unusually narrow so I'd recommend bringing your own or calling ahead to see if they've remedied that if you are large and need to borrow a chair.

The Art Museum of South Texas, in Corpus Christi had their Third Thursday event and we decided to go. A smallish museum it is full of beautiful works of art. Was an enjoyable event.

Small but beautifully curated museum – great lighting, thoughtful layout, and stunning ocean Definitely worth spending 1–2 hours to enjoy the art and the vibe.

Beautiful place, a bit small when compared to other cities art museums. But definitely a plus when you have other museums within walking distance.

This is an expansive botanical and wildlife center with mainly reptiles. There are walking paths to the wetlands on boardwalks with an elevated birding platform and a butterfly pavilion. The paths have a considerable amount of shade to make walking pleasant even in the heat of summer. Plenty of parking in front of the center. It’s also a part of the American Horticultural Society reciprocal admissions program if you are visiting.

Very cool place. One of the most beautiful in all of Corpus Christi. would highly recommend. they have some funny parrots and some large tortoise as well.

FREE ADMISSION every Friday in Nov.-Dec 2025. This place is a true gem nestled a few min from most of Corpus major attractions. We began our day here and lucky for us it was a free Friday admission day. The amount of plants both native and exotic was outstanding. I have been to several botanical gardens around the world, but I had never seen such a vast variety of orchids. I can say I am a new fan of orchids! The flower gardens were very well maintained and had a diverse amount of native flowers and insects. I was able to add a few new bugs to my iNaturalist and I would definitely go back and spend more time. Don't skip out the reptile room. The ladies that run it are true reptile lovers and I was informed that most of there reptiles are surrendered. I personally fell in love with the resident Indigo.

This was my first time going here. I was pleasantly surprised. For the harsh south Texas weather this place has all kinds of beautiful flowers with plentiful walking trails where you can experience the natural terrain and the indigenous wildlife that are abundant in this area. Very well kept and maintained. Lots of shaded places where you can sit a while and take a break from the hot Texas sun. Plus I got plenty of ideas how I can create my own little oasis at my own personal property. It's a must see.

Love them. They have literally miles of hiking trails (though I do recommend shoes better than flip flops like we wore, lol) and it's not just pretty flowers, which they have in abundance and I could spend time just on that, but they are also a true nature preserve for both flora and fauna. Truly something to experience for yourself

Beautiful garden, wonderful animal exhibits and a great early morning summer activity. While it was 90+ degrees we had lots of shady spots to stop and rest. Very kind and caring staff, and low cost for families.

I loved seeing all the different gardens. The birds and reptiles were fun, too. The tortoises were large. My favorite was the orchid house.

If you’re a Selena fan, the Selena Museum in Corpus Christi is an absolute must! Even if you just love music history, it’s worth every penny and the entrance fee is only $5 per person for an experience you won’t forget. Walking into Q-Productions, where Selena recorded so many of her hits, gives you instant chills. I even got to stand in the exact spot where she once sang, and also where JLo stood and wow, I felt like a part of her story. The highlight of my visit? Meeting her nephew! That made everything feel so personal and real. Everywhere you look, there’s something amazing: her sparkling stage outfits (yes, the purple jumpsuit!), Grammy awards, red Porsche, gold and platinum records, Fabergé egg collection, MAC make-up endorsement and walls covered with fan art and rare photos. Seeing all her achievements and knowing she passed away so young really tugs at your heart. You can feel how the whole world mourned her via letters and messages from fans everywhere show just how deeply loved she was. The museum is small, but that’s what makes it feel intimate and authentic. Walking through feels like stepping into the Quintanilla family’s memories. You leave inspired, emotional, and humming “bidi bidi bom bom,” celebrating the life and legacy of the Queen of Tejano Music. 💜✨

My mom and I have been planning this trip to see the Selena Museum since I was 10 years old, and now in 2025 we finally made it! Selena Quintanilla Perez has always been a childhood icon of mine. She passed away when I was 4 years old, and at the time I did not understand what happened, but I saw millions of People in my hometown of San Francisco lighting a vigil for her, and carrying her photo. As I got older I understood more about her life and how much her music inspired me and my love for singing and performing. Coming to the Selena museum was an amazing journey and one that will always hold a special place in my heart. I also got to meet her father A.B Quintanilla in the office studio of the museum. The museum itself was remarkable and exhibited all of Selena’s life through photos, clothing, memorabilia and her famous 1980s Porsche car! This place is truly an amazing experience and one everyone who is a fan must visit. Her legacy will forever live on in the hearts of fans forever and will continue to do so. She may be gone, but never forgotten!

Great experience. Tour was good information and museum is a time capsule. It transports you to 1995 for sure. So much memorabilia. Took a ton of pictures. Just missed seeing Suzette and Mr and Mrs Q. Glad they are keeping her memory alive for future generations. Such a loss for us all. She would have gone on to soo much more.

Visiting the Selena Museum was more than just learning about her life—it was about feeling her presence. She was a light who came for a short time, but her inspiration lingers. I was a Jehovah’s Witness when she passed, so I felt a connection to her and her family through our shared faith. Now, with a more spiritual perspective, I understand her impact in a deeper way. Selena left behind more than music or memories. She left behind a feeling—a kind of inner strength, joy, and purity—that we can still connect to within ourselves. The museum is simple and respectful, filled with love. I’m grateful I visited. It reminded me that even brief lives can leave something eternal.

Awesome experience! My wife introduced me to Selena, and her music & background. We watched the series about her together before making a trip to visit here. It was amazing to see the studio where she had actually stood and recorded for a short time. It was humbling to see the 100’s of awards throughout the showroom area, showcasing her extreme talent.

This was a super wonderful experience! I had to hold my emotions because Selena once stepped in here. Out of 9 songs she recorded at this location, “Dreaming of You” was the only one that came out. And meeting Abraham was epic!

My 2nd time to visit since 2017. Loved it. I met selena mom, suzette husband and Ricky vela! They were super nice! I always wanted to take a picture and say hi to Selena mom. She was very sweet.

Mustang Island State Park is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. We stayed at Site #3, which was easy to access and offered a great view — perfect for relaxing or enjoying a walk along the shore. The beach was clean, the water was clear, and the park was well maintained throughout. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was calm and family-friendly. A wonderful spot for a beach getaway.

Mustang Island State Park is a beautiful spot to enjoy the Texas coast! The beach access is excellent — it’s easy to get to the sand and the beaches themselves are wide, clean, and absolutely gorgeous. It’s a great place to relax, take a walk, or just enjoy the ocean breeze. The RV park, while convenient, is more of a parking lot setup than a traditional campground, so don’t expect much privacy or scenery there. However, the location makes up for it — it’s close to Corpus Christi, with plenty of restaurants and shopping just a short drive away. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to visit for the beaches and convenience, especially if you’re looking to explore the area.

Mustang Island State Park was incredible. Wow incredible views you can drive right on the beach and stay overnight in their primitive camping. Rebecca was an incredible host!! I ran into her in the parking lot scoping out the bathroom situation, and she pretty much gave me a tour; explained the payment system and showers, where to drive and park on the beach that was safest, and how to check the tides! She was so welcoming! I will be back for sure and look forward to enjoying this park again!!!!

We had a good time at the park. Rangers were super nice. But it is just a large parking lot. There is some grass. Watch out. for what site you get into?Because a lot of them are backwards for electricity and water. But overall, the beach was nice. And we had a good time.

The park is well maintained and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. Security patrols regularly on the beach. Portable toilets on the beach are also well maintained. Showers have warm water. Sometimes due to higher than normal tides, they have to close the beach to primitive camping. It's best to call ahead if you want a primitive campsite to make sure the beach is not closed.

A beautiful and peaceful beach that's clean and soft sand as far as the eye can see. The water is shallow enough you can walk way out into the bay and the crabs all over the beach are so cute!

Spent a day at this state park for the beach. Drove thru the camping area to check out for future camping. We tent camp and was happy to see it was grassed. It's a short walk to the beach on a very nice trail thru the dunes.There were around 6 covered picnic tables available on a first come basis and 1 large covered area that has to be reserved. The beach was amazing! The water was warm and clear with gental waves. The kids enjoyed body surfing, swimming, and hunting for hermit crabs. We saw hermit crabs , plenty of beach crabs, flocks of pelicans, small fish swimming in shallows, flying fish, diving white birds, annoying black birds, and seagulls. This beach was not crowded at all.

Easy to find. Hard to get into. The entrance is not the street front but by the parking lot in the back. But has awesome stuff. Lots of history. Totally free. Its small but lots to read lol. Staff totally friendly. And even the dog! It is surrounded by restaurants and little shops so there is other stuff to do once your out.

Before dining at Water Street Oyster Bar drop in for a look around at this quaint little museum right next door. Admission is free! The close at 7:00 pm so you probably to see this before dining. The staff seems really dedicated.Check it out.

Amazing Collection The boys and us had a good time, definitely a must stop in your visit to Corpus Christi Texas follow me on Instagram @Onibas_Garage_75 or @OnibasGarageClothingCo

I loved this place. So much memorabilia. We learned a lot about Pat Magee and Mike. The staff was super nice and informative about the beach area and where to see the real waves at.

Very cool people and although the museum is small, it is worth leaving a small donation to enjoy viewing old surfing boards and learning a bit about surfing in the meanwhile

This place made me wish I knew how to surf and that I was 25 again! It was really cool! Bought a shirt and going to go back and buy another one! Gavin helped me along with his dog Hennessey! They both rocked!

Cool place in a transition right now getting ready for a big show in March if you're in Corpus and you like surfing you need to come see the history

It's a small water park near the baseball field. You have to pay to park in the lot. There are no outside food or drinks allowed. I made sure to bring water shoes to protect my feet from the heat. There is only 5 slides, but the lady river makes the park enjoyable. I would like a slightly larger adult area but still had a good time. Will come back.

This waterpark is Amazing 👏🏼. This is our 3rd time going with my family. It is a 3 hour drive from where we live. We enjoy it to the max. The lazy river is our favorite. We can be there all day. Just relaxing! Can't wait to go again next year God willing.

I normally don’t leave bad reviews because I also run a business, but here’s my honest experience. We drove 2.5 hours to visit, bringing our 8-month-old’s float so he could enjoy the water. When we arrived, we were told we couldn’t use it. I understand safety rules, so that wasn’t a huge deal. The park itself is on the smaller side, which was fine—we still made the most of it and had some fun. The real disappointment was the food. We spent over $40 on lunch, and the quality was extremely poor—especially the pizza, I rather have Little Caesars. To top it off, my wife asked for a straw so our baby could drink some Gatorade from a straw, and they refused. I even went up to ask myself, and still got a “no.” That’s just unnecessary. If you’re not going to give them out, at least have them available with the utensils for people to grab if needed. Overall, we won’t be coming back and I can’t recommend it. If you do decide to visit, I’d strongly suggest bringing your own food and drinks.

We were visiting Corpus with our 7 year old grandson. The reviews we read were mixed. We decided that the price could not be beat, so took a chance. And boy, were we glad we did! We all had a blast. The facility was clean, staff were friendly and helpful, and prices for food, lockers, etc were not bad. There were lines for some of the rides, but nothing that was too much of a wait. We ended up staying longer than we initially thought we would because we were all having fun - even the 65+ year old members of our party.

This was a good choice to enjoy for the weekend. We stopped in July 4th a Friday, and it was only $20 a person, and weekends are $25. Plenty of lounge chairs available to rent. The water was clean. We spent most of the time in the kids' cove, but my 12 year old had fun in the giant slides. There are options to have a small group part and tables available if you're having food with the family.

This is a pretty small waterpark, but the price is appropriate for the amount of activities that are included. They only really have about four decent slides and a decent lazy river. Things seem to be clean and in good working order for the most part. We had a good time generally speaking.

The manager literally chased me and my three kids down in 95-degree heat because we brought our own water bottles. What kind of “family establishment” denies children basic hydration during extreme weather? Completely hostile, unwelcoming, and the opposite of family-friendly.

My granddaughter and I met some friends at the beautiful Whataburger Field for Kingsville Day and had the Best time! We had great seats for a great price and we were very entertained with the ballgame and all the activities and food. We look forward to attending another game very soon!

Great experience, we had great seats right by the dugout. Going to different baseball games and fields's is something I've always enjoyed ever since I was little.

Hey Batter batter..... SsWwingG!! Up from SPI 2hr drive, completely different Texas. This ball field is fantastic. Clean, well organized, plenty of food and drink options at a very reasonable price! Every single employee and volunteer was extremely polite and professional. The facilities are well-maintained and easy to navigate. The field is ADA-compliant as well. Will come back for sure. My only complaint is, I didn't hear one Bell from ACDC Hells Bells. Really??? Plotted. Scouts Out..

Great time, really nice 👍. Caught a game found great seating behind home plate on Saturday night.. Best game in town.. Thanks, Hooks.

Great minor league ballpark! Seats are pretty inexpensive. Plenty of food options especially Whataburger inside the park! No combos just a la carte. I ordered a burger & fries & bought a souvenir cup for free refills. Entertainment between innings was fun. Sitting left field has sun behind you & right field facing sun.

If you have nit been to Whataburger field, you are missing out. As a child I didn't have the experience of going to a game. But you best believe I'm doing it for my kids. This place helps to make memories with your family and friends. Check it out.

Great ballpark! Great amenities! Not a bad seat in the house. Free parking for veterans which is amazing. Overall, a great experience 👍.

Amazing place to go birding. If you haven't used a bird identification app before, I recommend downloading the Merlin app, start a Sound ID recording while walking the trails, and watch all the birds that pop up on the found species list. My wife and I did this the last time we went and there were Painted Buntings all over the preserve. Most of them were out of sight but eventually we were able to find a couple.

Awesome place to visit and take the kids, an awesome experience for adults as well if you're into nature & science, amazing playground park and walking trails 👣

Corpus Christi doesn't have many nature trails and definitely no shade, but this is a great family-friendly trail. Kids areas have shade and restrooms, but larger trails do not. There is a small story trail available for littles close to the picnic and playground areas and larger trails, about 2-5 miles, depending on your route. Parking areas are available inside and outside of the park, but check on the hours before considering parking inside.

Was a nice relatively short walk. Took my dog and he enjoyed the walk too. Saw a rattlesnake coiled up but was a small one.

Often, parks are usually focused on just having more trees and trails, but this one includes many of the natural terrains of the area not often explored or highlighted. There are facilities and information for additional family fun exploring and some walking trails which you can finish the loop in about an hour of slow walking and stopping. There are areas for kids to play, well maintained bathrooms, and one member of staff there when I visited to answer questions. This park is a wonderful addition to many of the parks in the area. My only caution is to watch for ant hills along the gravel trails to make sure you don't step in or near one. Otherwise, this was a nice free location to walk around and see nature local to Corpus.

I love this place. It's well kept, and trails are maintained. At least there is some nature, native trees, and understory to see here. I try to keep an eye out for rattlesnakes and have seen a bobcat here. Being in nature has been such a needed antidote to workdays inside an office. So, the efforts made by staff here to keep the trails and surrounding area accessible and fairly clean are very much appreciated!!!

excellent place to take photos, even shot some film that i am waiting on to be processed

The Art Center is for artists to display, sell, and learn. It is free, with a simple box for donations. The current main display is the gowns from the Las Donas de la Corte event; usually only 3 weeks displayed. Small side galleries and hallways filled with ceramics, jewelry, inspired pieces and paintings. There is a wonderful, slightly pricey, restaurant connected to The Art Center; great drinks and very good food.

This is my second time to the art center. I definitely recommend when you are in corpus to check out this place. They have many art pieces raining and very surprises as little as seven dollars for some earrings up to several thousand dollars for art piece. I have gotten several small things, but I would say these coasters are my favorite. The food is phenomenal as well. The restaurant that is located inside.

This is our 2nd time visiting this place and we really enjoy it. There is a lot of neat art work for sale from local artists. It looks like they even have added event space and a restaraunt or cocktail bar in the building. This is definitely a unique location and its worth coming to check out from time to time.

Its so neat. It's a place that displays art . It also has resident artists that you may see working on their creations. You can also buy the art that you like. There is a restaurant inside also. The views of the marina are beautiful. And its free

As a tourist attraction, the galleries at the art center are definitely worth a visit and there's no entrance fee if you choose to do so. This review is primarily for those interested in hosting an event or wedding in one of the available venue spaces. The art center is gorgeous and there are wonderful views in the Bay View room. I would be cautious recommending these venues primarily because the communication regarding rental coordination isn't the best. Other venues we reached out to when trying to get information usually provided us most of what we needed in the first couple of emails. In this case, it took several emails to get all of the needed information, as the coordinator would forget to provide certain documents, or answer questions that were asked. Due to the communication issues, we decided to go with a different venue, but it is a beautiful space.

So much amazing and local art here! We had the pleasure of visiting during the week and had the whole place to ourselves to enjoy. I’m not sure who the gentleman was at the front, but I really appreciate his mentality when we asked him how much the admission fee was and he plainly said something around the lines of, “It’s free. Art should always be free to enjoy”. Thank y’all for all the great art and for keeping it free for everyone to enjoy 😊 I believe you can also purchase some of art. We will definitely be back. Below are some of my favorite pieces of art!

I’ve been to the attached restaurant once at the behest of close friends who raved about it & my experience didn’t align with theirs. This is the second time I visited the gallery portion & found it really awe-inspiring, the unlimited heights of human creativity. Then I had to visit the Men’s room & both trips’ visits yielded disgust & disappointment. The seats of both stalls had feces all over toilets & seats & bowls/urinal almost overflowing with stale urine. This is enough to make me want to not return. I know it’s not easy with an open access facility & lots of transient foot traffic, homeless trespassers, etc, but this problem hardly seems new. I hope they do better going forward.

Conceptually interesting, but not much to see unless you're interested on architecture. Bravo to the city for supplying space to collect and preserve the old houses of the city.

Beautiful cast iron clock at the entrance to the park that was not working typical of the Corpus Christi cultural and a raggedy old wooden Marquis and disrepair not being utilized. Other than that the jazz festival the music was great

Beautiful historical buildings. Gorgeous walkway throughout. Small Hispanic Cultural Museum. Lovely staff. Beautiful pieces. Very informative and they love to tell you about the pieces if you ask. You can’t go inside most of the homes and a few are in disrepair, but overall absolutely beautiful.

Great Place, They Usually Have Festival Here, And The Old House's On Site Are A Great Reminder Of Homes Were Built.

If you love history then this is a Great place to take a step back in time and see the many homes that were built in Corpus Christi and read of the family's that lived in them some from the late 1800,s to early 1900,s keep up the good work Heritage Park in preserving and sharing are local history.

Went here to see the Official Texas Jazz Festival. Only this weekend but many events are held here.

I had a great time this past weekend at the Jazz Festival at Heritage park. Lots of cool vendors and food. Lots of music on 3 stages kept the event exciting. With the exception of one stage losing power. I attended on Saturday. Got my turkey leg. There are also historic sites here to see.

My family and I came here, and we had a really good time! Great weather for kite flying. Was alot of tourists though, of course. Found lots of seashells, played in the sand. Great day of summer fun for the family! God bless you all <3

Ther building a new pier bigger and better

They are working on the pier but regardless I love it over her

Really nice area, not crowded at all, however like with any other parts of the beach unless you have a vehicle that can get around easily be mindful of where you’re driving so you don’t get stuck.

Brings back memories of of my late wife and myself fishing adventures. I took her for one last visit

Love going here!!! I can't wait for the pier to be done!!!

It's always a good time

Nice theatre - not a bad seat in the house! Great show! (Hairspray). Very reasonably priced tickets at just over $20. Parking can be challenging, but additional parking can be found across the street. The concession out of control —too many items on the menu I think, and was closed-off about 15 minutes before showtime due to an extremely long line and the need to get patrons to their seats. Intermission was way too long—about 45 minutes—again, due to the concession I believe. The bathroom situation was adequate before the show but probably not the case during intermission which is not uncommon in small to mid-sized theatres. We got lost on the way thanks to gmaps not being correct due to all of the construction and we’re forced on a 20 minute detour ride across the long bridge to Portland and back. But all in all a good experience.

My mom and I got to finally see our first play here "Wizard of Oz" it was so beautiful! I even teared up a bit of how beautiful "Dorthy" sang "Over the Rainbow" I cant wait to come and see more plays. The cast was so friendly after the show! We got all their autographs and pictures with no complaint! We loved it! Only complaint it was kinda hot 😭 but I think it was because it was a packed house lol which was unexpected but amazing of how the community comes together !

We were recently there for The Wizard of Oz and enjoyed the show the same and even more than some Broadway productions we have seen on tour. I would love to see a Jane Austen inspired play or parody one day.

Brilliant performance of Hairspray. Amazing these performers are from the community! And the playhouse is 100 years old! What a treasure. Comfortable seats, good acoustics, clean facilities. It does get warm in there so DON'T FORGET TO DRESS DOWN, wear lighter clothes. Get there early for parking, or do your homework of where and when you can park for free.

The place is small, but has been there 100 years this year! Which in itself is amazing. The play and cast were awesome. We saw Hairspray and hope to see more shows in the future. Get there early to park close or you can park across the street. If you want snacks or drink line gets long, so get there early. They do close for the play and reopen during intermission. The bathroom line also gets long. Best for childern who can sit and and understand what's going on.

We have gone to see 2 plays here so far, and the actors and actresses are absolutely phenomenal! They have a good variety for concessions. My only complaints are the seating. There isn't enough of an incline with the seats to be able to see around the person in front of you without constantly having to move your head. And they're very close, tight fitting. There is hardly any room to move if you need to get up to let someone in or our and absolutely no room to put anything you buy from the concessions. But aside from the seating, everyone there is very friendly and the shows are amazing!

The play was awesome but the chairs in the theatre are horrible. I’m a small woman and they are too small and uncomfortable. I won’t go back because of that .

We had a very fun visit at this location! The food was good, but the breaded chicken tenders my kids got were undercooked and overly breaded. Everything else was amazing, though. You order your food prior to finding a seat. We enjoyed the outside seating. The bar area had some live karaoke going on, and an ice cream shop right next door. It's such a fun atmosphere.

Our favorite part was being directly on the water and having a front row seat to the dolphins. The sunset was beautiful. The food was pretty good, but I think I ordered too much fried food. So that was more my fault than the restaurants fault. My daughter did swipe one of the turtle soaps and started to eat it. So I did pay for that. Overall; I think we would definitely come back, I would just order a salad next time with seafood on it.

I visited Snoopy's Restaurant with my friend a couple months ago and we were disappointed in the food. The fish tasted like it was frozen fish cooked and breaded in bland fish fry. 🐟 The fries tasted liked bagged fries and were tasteless. 🍟 If you want to get condiments and the drinks it is self-served. The food did not taste real or authentic, everything tasted like frozen, bagged food that they fried. I could have made the food at home for how it tasted! I will say the scenary was beautiful and there was good, karaoke live music. 🎤 🎶 🎵 If you want good, flavorful seafood please skip this restaurant.

The food was okay. Nothing too special or to write home about. The best part was probably the view and atmosphere. They had karaoke the night we went. I the sunset was beautiful and the salt water smell was perfect 👌🏽

Incredibly disappointed in our take out order today. We ordered over the phone and they forgot to add our fried catfish meal. The kids grilled cheese sandwiches were $10 - and didn’t look correctly cooked. We tried to call back to correct our order and the phone just rings. Our shrimp platters and hush puppies were good - consistent with a food shack menu, so the price just didn’t match the quality unfortunately. We spent over $100 on very cheaply made food. Customer service could be better and more professional. Will not order from here again.

We showed up at Pearl Oyster and immediately we were blown away, Happy Hour all day $2 drafts $1,50 oysters. jalpenos were on point actually the best we ever has. Eric our bartender was awesome. If we ever return this will be our To Go spot

We arrived at 6 p.m. and brought our dogs. There’s a dog-friendly patio with plenty of shade and seating near Scoopy’s, the dessert spot next door. A DJ was there running karaoke, which added to the vibe. You order your food at the register and then find a seat. They call your name over the intercom when your food is ready, but it was a little hard to hear from where we were sitting because of the music. The menu encourages you to add sides, which range from three to four dollars. It’s a little misleading if you’re not paying attention, but the portions are large. You can also order individual items a la carte, like fish or shrimp. We got a dozen shrimp. They were huge and perfectly fried. We also ordered the Snoopy’s combo, which came with fries, four fried oysters, four shrimp, and fried fish. The fish wasn’t cut like a filet, more like two big fish nuggets. Still, everything came out hot, fresh, and in large portions. We hadn’t been here since we were kids. We came back for the nostalgia but ended up getting a solid meal and some fun karaoke entertainment. The dog-friendly patio was a nice bonus.

They had a food truck festival there today. Lots of well behaved dogs there. Indoor and outdoor seating. My husband had their pilsner and said it was delicious. I had their "margarita," and it was good.

Was disappointed to arrive in plenty of time to participate in the advertised "ghostly guided tour" of the brewery for their Haunted 2nd Sat Shindig only to find out they really didn't plan on giving one & seemed confused when asked. The IPA was nice, the vendors super sweet. Oh, well...that was a wasted trip.

Wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, super friendly outgoing staff, and 19 unique delicious craft beers, hard kombuchas, and hard seltzer on tap, all brewed in-house. This brewery is complemented with a fabulous cafe and a cool shady back patio to enjoy a cold pint! #FeelingLazy is the perfect motto to chill and enjoy a cold beer here.

Lazy Beach was GREAT! They allowed us to host a small company event and made sure we were well taken care of! Always a great beer selection that rotates regularly while keeping customer favorites on hand! Awesome locally owned brewery quietly tucked away like a hidden gem!

This was a great local brewery in Corpus. It’s in an area that looks more like warehouses but it is both a brewery and a cafe. I like hazy or New England IPAs so I was recommended Comet Crush and really enjoyed it. Comet Crush had a clean finish and good hoppy kick. My partner enjoyed the Great White Wit which was a hazy IPA that had a citrus finish. You order your drinks and food in the back outside and then choose any seat you want. The have more seating outside than inside but we were able to find a table inside that was a high top. They have a mix of low and high tops inside and mostly picnic tables outside. If you sit inside, you’ll be right next to the open kitchen. I had an avocado and sour cream chicken wrap that was delicious and had lots of fresh veggies. My partner had a turkey Ruben without the sauerkraut that he gobbled up too. Overall the staff were incredibly friendly and the decor was nice and beachy with local art decorating the walls. We had a great experience.

Had the most wonderful experience! Extremely helpful and lovely staff! The manager was so unbelievably helpful with all her knowledge involved with brewing and the craft. Absolutely my favorite beer and my new favorite place to eat! Thank you so much Lazy Beach! Yall rock!!!

If I had a million dollars to invest in this company I would because they are excellent on all ends of the spectrum from the brewing to the service from Sarah who made the lazy beach experience unforgettable! The quality of the brew will forever be unmatched, great food as well!

One thing I can say is the atmosphere and vibe of the place was really good. There's a raw seafood bar where you can watch the workers prepare. Plenty of seating but I admit it was VERY busy. We had to reserve 5 hours in advanced to secure a spot. The food was OK, not bad but also not mind-blowing. Everything was fully cooked and presented beautifully but the flavor was lacking. (The dipping sauce was really good though). Overall personally I wouldn't recommend this. But dont let that deter you from trying it. The waiter and staff were super friendly, just the food I tasted was not up to my standards.

Someone recommended this restaurant and I’m glad they did! Our server Marty was wonderful. She recommended my plate and man it was good! Real friendly and made us feel like home. Over all food was delicious the atmosphere was pleasant. My wife and I will definitely be back. Thank you Marty!!

We were glad to see the Shrimp & Oyster Embrochette back on the menu. Robert was our waiter, and he was outstanding. I really liked my oysters. I had a bad experience a while back at the new Landry's, but here they were big and tasted fresh. We always get crawfish tails for our appetizer, but they aren't listed on the menu We did not especially like the key lime pie filling, but the graham cracker crust was so good!

The place is very nice, the bartender took my order and never once came back asking if everything was all right or if I wanted another drink. I bought half dozen oysters. And they were some of the smallest saddest oysters I’ve seen in a while. I ordered a seafood planter oysters, and shrimp. The shrimp was good, but I think kind of small and the oysters were even smaller never quite had a seafood platter like that one of the saddest seafood platter I’ve ever had. Nice place pricey food and very small portions. You might want to have a snack before you get here. You might leave hungry. I travel all over the United States on music tours and this is a type of place that I would stay away from when I’m on the road. It was recommended to me so I had to go and check it out. But I don’t think I’ll be going again anytime soon. Too much money for too little.

This is a great little gem in CC. The building was remodeled and done very modern and cool. At the back of the bar, they have this cool wall done in oyster shells. The oysters were on point. I could have eaten a million. The service was terrific. We will definitely be going back. I will say I will most likely skip the sushi next time. It was dry for sushi.

Great food drinks and star! We will return to enjoy all the great atmosphere. The staff is knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic. Our server, Sarah, guided us through the extensive daily selection with the ease of a seasoned sailor. She explained the flavor profiles of each oyster—from the petite, metallic Kumamotos to the larger, creamy Bluepoints—with specific, mouth-watering detail. And then, there were the oysters. We ordered a dozen, a mix of Sarah's recommendations served glistening on a bed of ice. Each one was perfectly shucked, free of any gritty shell fragments. The first oyster was a taste of pure ocean, a clean, crisp brine that awakens the palate. The mignonette, a classic red wine vinegar with shallots, was a zesty, clean complement that highlighted, rather than masked, the oysters' natural flavor. While the raw bar is the main event, the cooked dishes proved the kitchen is equally talented. The Chargrilled Oysters were a revelation—smoky, buttery, and packed with a garlicky breadcrumb crunch. They were an indulgence that perfectly balanced the clean simplicity of the raw selection.

We called the restaurant ahead of time to check if they allowed dogs. The first person we spoke with said they did, but the patio was under construction. We called again later, and this time they confirmed the patio was open and dogs were welcome. So we decided to go. We arrived around 5:30 p.m. on a Saturday. Parking was available on the side of the restaurant. The place was already busy, but we were seated right away since no one else was sitting outside. The patio was still being renovated, but it was open and usable. They still honor happy hour on Saturdays from 3 to 6. Our server brought us a menu that had dinner options on one side and sushi on the other. About two-thirds of the sushi was included in the happy hour deal and was half off. They also had a variety of beers and wines on special, along with several food specials not listed on the regular menu. We started with oysters. They were large, fresh, and not too salty or briny. They came out quickly. For entrées, my wife ordered the bacon-wrapped scallops, which came with parmesan zucchini, stir-fried rice, and a Caesar salad on the side. We were also given complimentary bread. The scallops were perfectly cooked—big, tender, and wrapped in bacon that had a nice char. Possibly wood-fired, but we’re not sure. I ordered the blackened red snapper, which was one of the specials that night. It came with rice, seasoned vegetables, and a buttery, garlicky sauce that reminded me of a beurre blanc. The fish was fresh, cooked well, not dry, and had great flavor. The sauce was a perfect complement. Overall, everything came out fairly quickly, especially for a Saturday night. Even though the patio was under renovation, it was still comfortable, and we appreciated being able to bring our dogs. The food, service, and atmosphere made for a great experience. We’ll definitely come back.

My daughter and I went for a cooking class they were holding. We had a lot of fun! The instructor and staff were so nice! They host a variety of cooking and crafts classes. We then toured the museum and small gift shop. I had no idea there was even an Asian museum until this class. I highly recommend it!!

I did not know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised at all the Asian displays and interactive stations. This is definitely a place that I enjoyed visiting. They also have cooking and martial arts classes. It was nice to see something from the Ainu, my ancestors.

The highlight is an incredible display of hundreds of Hakata dolls. The entry price is very reasonable and helps to support the museum.

Staff is very nice , lots of interesting artifacts.

Great time to spend with family at the Cherry 🌸 Blossom Festival... Great food, great vendors. I just expected to see more of the displays....

Great place to see art from the Asian culture, kids can create origami and try calligraphy.

They're a small museum, but I really liked going. There were so many interesting things; like the dolls, which I didn't think I'd find interesting, but they turned out to be incredible! Since they have loads more artifacts which they rotate in every so often it's definitely worth going back to see more! The gift shop doesn't have much, but their lucky cat key chains are cute 😸

Decent beach near the city, acceptable if you want the convenience of city dining and access to the water. Sadly there is a lot of plastic, trash, and cigarette butts scattered around. There was even broken glass near the trash can. Would love to see no smoking signs and no glass bottles enforced here to preserve what could be a very nice place for visitors.

As a Corpus Christi native this is my go to beach for when I just want to chill and spend a few hours at the beach! I call it the “casual beach”

If you are reading this and you work for some government agency that is responsible for maintaining a coastal region/ beach, go visit McGee Beach! I have rarely seen a black front area as clean and well maintained as this one and plenty of police officers and cleaning crews constantly roaming g the area. Well done Corpus Christi

Loved the small area here. This place is popular for families and kids especially. Very scenic and there were food trucks there in case you didn't bring anything.

Water is full of jellyfish. Could not get in the water. It did have Small playground, 2 foodtrucks, Large restroom facility

The beach here has a lot of clean and fun amenities like showers, bathrooms, playground, motorized scooters, and food trucks on weekends. A trash pick up team is needed to clean up the excessive garbage on the beach. The sand is not soft, so I would recommend bringing a chair and maybe some cushions or blankets if you want to sit on the sand comfortably. Unfortunately I saw a 14 or 15 year old boy, with makeup, long black hair, and about 5 ft 4 in with the voice of a man and body of a boy in the woman’s bathroom with a girl about 14-15 years old in the same stall.

We haven't been here in a long time. We were really impressed with all the development and improvements the city has done. It was in the 70s but very windy. The beach area was very clean and well maintained. The sand is a little rough at the edge of the water and had broken sea shells but once you get in about 2 feet in you can enjoy the smooth sand in the water. It's nice to see all the activities people were engaged in like bicycling, jogging, scootering, flying kites etc. Very family friendly. There are wash off stations just before you get back on the steps and there are wash off stations outside the restrooms to clean off the sand. The restrooms were relatively clean. The floors were wet and sandy due to people changing in here after washing off or swimming. However, it was acceptable to which it was well stocked with paper towels, toilet tissue and hand soap. We constantly saw city employees emptying out trash receptacles and picking up debris on the beach and around the park. There is also a very cool looking playground for the kids. We will definitely be back.

Not dog friendly. We were at Art walk, which was amazing. P.D. was super helpful, vendors were friendly, and the people all got along. Till we got to kspace with our dog and were refused entry Emily said all dogs, service dog or not, were not allowed so we left, let you all know, and will never think about this place again.

Small art gallery. No admission charge. They always have great exhibits. They’ve expanded into the space that faces Chaparral and relocated the gift shop to that area. Typically they have an opening reception for new exhibits during first Friday Art Walk. There’s also a cool mural of lotería pieces reimagined by south Texas artists on the exterior wall of the building, accessible and visible from Chaparral.

Building was hotter than it was outside. The art was melting. Its actually a pretty decent gallery most of the time. Interesting work by talented folk.

This is such a fun gallery. I've been to a ton of events here from openings to concerts. I always try to make it in when we hit Art Walk.

The back wall of the K Space Contemporary building is decorated with a huge display of the Mexican bingo game la loteria. It is very colorful and neat to look at all the cards. Where is El Borracho though :-)

Fun place. Lots of merch to purchase from art gift store. Great art displays

A great art experience. Definitely benefits the community.

went there as i was curious how long it would take me to walk the bridge and how difficult. it is easy. you can wear flip-flops to walk this bridge. from entrance to the highest point takes no more than 10 minutes. the perspective from a high point looking down is awesome. everyone should do it at least one just for the experience. i do NOT recommend doing it during peak traffic hours because the smell from the exhaust isn't pleasant.

One day when I'm much more older and hopefully wiser, I can look back at these memories and tell my grandkids and great grandkids.. tell them before this was here, there I was. And one day we'll all be gone and someone else will be.

The Corpus Christi bridge, also known as the Harbor Bridge, is a striking landmark that spans the Corpus Christi Bay. Offering picturesque views, it connects the city to North Beach and the USS Lexington. Whether admired from afar or crossed for a closer look, the bridge adds to the scenic charm of Corpus Christi's waterfront.

Visited corpus christi 2 Years ago when we had to cross the Harbor Bridge. It is a through-arch bridge. The bridge was adorned with a LED lighting system. Sadly, the lights were removed due to corrosion on the brackets of the bridge. The last night the Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge lights were lit was June 13, 2021. We were lucky to witness the stunning illumination on the bridge. The lighting created a magical nighttime ambiance with its reflections on the river. A captivating experience worth cherishing!

Lovely location! I will miss it when it's eventually gone. I like going under to the entrance of the port and watching the ships come in.

Whether you are in the area day or night, this bridge is a beauty. The build of this bridge is beautiful from every angle you look at it. The best view is from the Texas State Aquarium.

This is a great bridge. Be careful and keep in mind that there are frequent exit closures, so take the first exit that you can. At its peak the bridge is 275 from the water.

We've, now, been in Corpus Christi for a little over 2 months. Each new place we eat at, I keep saying is my new favorite. But I tell you, this place exceeds all!!! The food was divinely delicious and the drinks were devilously devine! Wes, our waiter, was great and made sure I didn't mess up my order with the bison. Our hostess was really sweet as well. The bartenders knew what they were doing and didn't make me feel rushed trying to order from there novel of a menu! And the quail legs!!! The quail legs will forever live rent free in my head!

1 star for the entire experience! We were here to celebrate my girl's birthday, I never, personally would have chosen this place. I made an 8:30pm reservation & still had to wait. Once we were finally seated at our table the entire experience went downhill. The only thing that was done correctly was the request to be seated at a table with an ocean view. We ordered our dinner and salads to start, well it took over 15 minutes just to bring out the salads, this was a precursor of what was to come, or not. We finished our salads and bread and waited another 15 minutes and still no entrees. Well it's sad to say that after an hour and 15 minutes later, still no entrees. It was now 9:45pm and by now,3 loafs of bread later and only eating the dinner salads, we were ready to leave. It was only then that the server said, let me go check on the entrees, after I told her that we were ready to leave and to just bring out my bill. She became contentious and said, you'll have to take that up with my manager because we were about to bring out the entrees, almost an hour and a half later. She wanted to argue with me about leaving due to the poor service and the long wait for the entrees. The brought out my bill which was for the salads and drinks, 32.00 and I was told that this was all I was going to pay because we were never served our entrees. Well when the manager brought out my credit card, I noticed that she ran it for about 112.00 for entrees which were never served and entrees that we never ate. I showed the manager the initial bill of 32.00 and asked why she processed my card for 112.00 she admitted to making a mistake, I didn't sign the receipt for 112.00, she did correct the mistake and I did pay for what we ate Here's the icing on the cake, there was another table of 6 people sitting next to us, also celebrating a birthday. They were being asked to leave because they were complaining about their service as well. All I can say is that they ruined our birthday celebration and that I personally won't ever go back to this restaurant. I personally wouldn't recommend it it to anyone that I know. So here is my personal ratings. View 5⭐ Ambiance with the live music,5⭐ Bread 5⭐ Service 1⭐ Food 1⭐ we never received our entrees. Overall experience 2⭐ Likelihood of ever visiting this place again 0⭐ Recommend this place to people I know 0⭐

Our filets were a tad overdone, but the flavor was still good. All the shareable sides were great, especially the mac and cheese and the brussel sprouts. The view is neat if you get seated at a table with a view.

This restaurant is immaculate! I love the great customer service from the valet gentleman to the host, the waiter, and the many staff that made sure we had a great experience! The food was delicious and the view is breathtaking! I enjoyed sharing this experience with great friends during our girls’ trip! I will definitely be returning.

The food was pretty good, but very expensive. My boyfriend and I got ribeye steaks, Caesar salads, mashed potatoes, and a crème brûlée. The steak was juicy, but a little more cooked than I asked for. All the other food was great and they start you off with bread and butter. We had great views of the ocean and sunset. My waiter was very friendly and helped guide us through the menu.

Just visited the resort and wanted to try the food here. Our waitress Brittany was fantastic, she answered all our questions and was such a pleasure to talk to! We had the Bison Ribeye, Beef Tenderloin and the Au Gratain potatoes and everything was amazing with a fair price!

I enjoyed a delicious filet with seasoned vegetables. It became my favorite steak place in corpus! Four adults and two kids all agreed that the food was delicious. The cosmos had a sweet candy orange garnish that tasted delicious as well. The children chose pepperoni pizza and fries for their food. They agreed the pizza was "very yummy." We were celebrating and had the chocolate mousse for a special dessert. It had a rich flavor that is the perfect ending to a fabulous dinner. The service was outstanding! The hostess was very polite and continuously complimented my daughter as we passed. The waitress was on top of her game and very understanding to the needs of the children. It was worth every penny for the service & the food. I would highly recommend for everyone to enjoy a beautiful view with amazing customer service & food.

There's an outside area with showers to rinse (free, but shampoo and soap is prohibited),restrooms need a lot of attention. Inside the building you can shower but payment is required in quarters ($4 quarters=4minutes)restrooms here are clean.

Best RV Park and beach is within walking distance!!! You can now stay for 2 weeks!!!! Best spots to see the beach are sites 8-9.

Stayed for about a week with an RV - April 27th to May 4th 2025. ‘Premium’ spots are very pretty; non-premium is, at least when I visited, a parking lot next to a construction zone. Ultimately, I would stay again, but the park is owned by the city which caused issues, primarily around power. Paid for a power RV site, but the island lost power for something like 24 total hours over the course of two separate, non-consecutive days. No power - no A/C when it’s 85 degrees outside and you’re trying to get a good night’s rest. No power - no reliable internet. Inquired about a partial refund, but was basically told that would be difficult. Understandable - city budgets, paperwork and all that. So, idk, pretty park, nice staff, but not without some headaches.

Went about a week ago, all the camp sites were spread out plenty of privacy, it was clean, my 2 wheel truck did get stuck and was a minor pain getting it out the sand. But didn't stop me from having an awesome beach experience.

We were not camping there; our family was. We just went to hang out a couple times. The campground was quiet and clean. Their camper spot was very nice, with an extra-large concrete area for a picnic table and chairs, and they even had room for their large dog fence. The bathrooms were decent. The beach was pretty clean, too. Very nice; I'd definitely camp there myself in the future.

I love this place! The land is so peaceful and its nice and quiet. I love that they have wifi so im able to work and theyre so close to the water for break time its a no trainer. This is now my permanent stop in this area. They were even patient when my travel brain forgot how plugging in a camper works 🤣

This was our first time here at Padre Balli Park. It was nice and clean. There weren't too many campers so they had slots open. We were less than 5min. walking distance to the beach. The water was brown on the first day and very windy. The second and third days were very nice 87°F for the high and humidity was low. So very comfortable weather. The water started returning to it natural color and by Wednesday it was there. We went fishing and caught a few fish and released them back. The bath/shower house was clean and the laundry room was in working order. I wish they had more washer & dryers. The price for the premium sites are very reasonable. They do offer tent camping and have electricity to most spots. I would recommend getting a beach parking pass from the office at about $14.00 so you can drive on the beach ⛱️ and set up for the day. The pass is good for 1yr. It was really nice and we look forward to heading back there before the year end.

There is uneven pavement in and around the venue area. Be careful where you step! high inclines in some areas ... seats in the seating reservation stage area were very uncomfortable, small and flimsy plastic ... for being a large concert venue, they have small screens to view the artist performing ... Will not spend my hard earned money at this concert venue! Not worth it! Would have been much better at the ABCenter🇺🇸 Friendly staff though ☺️ Willie Nelson was awesome! 👍🏼 🎙🎸🎶🤠

It was really fun, we went and saw koe wetzel, the stage had an interesting setup where fire would shoot out. We got tickets in the pit, but I will warn that the tickets were maybe 150$. And everything there was a little pricey, but the experience its self was a 10/10. 4 stars

Had a blast! We have been to a few outdoor Amphitheaters and this one was up there on the list of favorites! Cody Jinks put on a heck of a show!

always a good time when coming to concerts here!! the staff is absolutely amazing. Beverly made sure we got our full experience by making sure we got our pit wrist bands and keeping in contact with us leading up to the show! will always love going to concerts here, never had any issues getting tickets.

Went to a show last night and had a young man from Mr. nice guys try to sell my youngest daughter marijuana underneath the table. This stuff was already wrapped up and ready to go. My daughter said that he kept asking her and asking her for marijuana and then proceeded to give out his number. She then told him she didn’t want his number, but he insisted that whenever she is at a concert to hit him up that he will always have it on him. Mr. nice guys is selling actual marijuana underneath the table. Is ridiculous some guy with glasses and curly hair be careful with this young man he’s selling drugs underneath the table and every concert He was working last night at the Stone Temple Pilots concert. Be careful with your kids with this guy. I’ve heard they sell multiple types of drugs

1st time at the venue for Randy Rogers Band & Turnpike Troubadours show. Pit passes were just over $300 for 2 tickets. No seating in the pit area. There is a small uphill lawn outside the pit and a few picnic tables scattered around. I saw food trucks but did not visit them. We only bought one beer & a few waters because they did not have coconut rum. Ridiculously long lines at the bar for mixed drinks, but there are beer stations scattered around the outter edges. Standing on concrete for the whole show so ended up with feet and lower back killing me. I did not visit the restrooms. Not lot of nearby parking, so you may have to walk a way to the venue.

Great concert line ups. Vip seating is great. However, if you are going to have e VIP seating and only one way in you should have other choices other than alcohol to drink. Not everyone drinks alcohol. Soft drinks should be an option as well. We shouldn't have to walk all the way back to the front just to get a drink.

The Easter bunny came and read a story with the toddlers at playtime today. Every employee i have tub across has been polite and helpful.

La Palmera Mall is a fantastic retail destination- clean, well-organized, and home to a solid mix of stores from national brands to local boutiques. I found everything I was looking for without feeling overwhelmed, and the layout makes it easy to navigate. The food court offers a nice variety of dining options, perfect for shoppers wanting a quick bite or a sit-down meal. I also appreciate the comfortable seating areas and family-friendly spaces. A few small areas could use a refresh-some of the restrooms were beginning to show wear, and I noticed a few stores looking a bit dated. But overall, the mall feels safe, welcoming, and well-maintained. If you're in Corpus Christi and want a convenient, all-in-one shopping trip, La Palmera is a solid choice. Minor updates would take it from great to perfect!

First time here; I was impressed. It was clean! Only two people asked me for money! Elevator worked and didn’t make weird noises going up and down. Food court is nice with plenty of options and even some around the mall. Check it out!

I've been in several of the stores, but the one I am so pleased about is actually a vending machine run by a local. Cariños Bakery has many unique flavors and some traditional cake flavors. All that I have tasted are just perfectly balanced with the flavors coming through in a delightful way. They were moist and delicious! The vending machine is just inside the entry closet to Longhorn Steakhouse.

Nice place in La Palmera Mall for the Kids to run around! It was nice and cool and clean the Kids loved it definitely will be back ..

I liked the place, nothing wrong just average

The mall is really nice and less busy then most malls I've been to. Though it could be that I was there on a Sunday. It has 2 floors and very nice food court but not much selection outside of multiple Asian restaurants. Since the size was small it didn't take more than 15 minutes to walk the whole thing. But they did have every store I was looking for.

Very short out and back trail with a loop at the end. There’s some desire paths that are not really trails but do look like trails. Trail is a mix of boardwalk, pavement and dirt, very uneven. A large section goes right by the water which was nice and scenic. Partially shaded

Nice little nature area. We only took a short walk down the boardwalk to the water. It's neat with all of the grasses closing in around the route. The water view at the end was peaceful. A great place to just sit and relax for a bit.

Pros: one good bird watching spot, one playground area, many picnic benches, long trails, park staff clean up trash frequently Cons: needs repairs, if you don't see birds in that one spot there are no other spots in this refuge to see them As others have said, this is in need of upkeep. The pavement is broken/missing in many places and not suitable for biking on. The boards on the boardwalk are in dire need of repair; it felt like they were close to caving in. The boardwalk is also overgrown with tall grass/plants that rise over the railing. The bird watching spot was crowded when I went, and there really weren't any birds to see. I tried finding another place in the refuge to see birds, but there isn't one. Getting to see the Mexican olive tree drop some fruit and all the white butterflies were neat though.

This is a great little park. It has small walking trails. A ton of birds and a board walk. It's a great spot to take pictures. Theres a nice bridge on one side and a playground on the far other side. Most would probably spend an hour here, if you stopped to read a few signs.

Could use some love and a much needed clean-up, but otherwise it is still an easy and pleasant walk with lots benches to sit and rest under. Will definitely be coming back to take more pictures when the place is a little greener.

My wife and I had a great little walk in this park. We saw lots of birds and cool vegetation. We saw our first Painted Buntings and they were doing a courting ritual. It was beautiful sight to see first hand. We also saw a couple of flamingos flying over us.

Very short but pretty boardwalk and some walking paths. Easy and dog friendly, plenty of parking and a couple of picnic tables. Bring your binoculars! Plenty of birds to watch.

Our visit to Doc’s Seafood and Steaks was a decent overall experience, but it had a mix of positives and drawbacks. We waited about an hour and 15 minutes to be seated, which was expected for the busy evening, but worth noting if you’re visiting during peak times. The menu is heavily seafood-focused, with many dishes prepared blackened or jerk-style, so there’s a fair amount of spice. If you’re not into seafood or bold flavors, your options are somewhat limited. The setting is one of the highlights — you can sit near the edge and enjoy a nice view of the water, which adds to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the chairs were hard and lacked any lumbar support, making them uncomfortable for a long meal. Our server was friendly and attentive, which helped balance out some of the food concerns. The burgers we tried were very charred and didn’t have much seasoning; the sauces provided most of the flavor, so without them, they would have been pretty bland. The lower-level area offers games like cornhole and the ring-and-hook game, along with some live music, which creates a casual, fun vibe. However, it also had an unpleasant smell of spilled beer and even urine, which was off-putting and made us question the cleanliness in that area. In short, seafood lovers who enjoy a lively, waterfront atmosphere will probably appreciate this place more than we did. For non-seafood eaters, the limited menu and mixed food quality may not make it worth the wait.

This was my first trip to Texas and Corpus Christi, and I decided to take a solo trip. This place came highly recommended, and I can see why. Gabby was such a sweet waitress and very accommodating, even while handling a busy crowd. She truly deserves recognition and a raise. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous and made the whole experience worth it. The only negative observation I had was with the owner/manager (tall, slim white man). He was walking around asking tables how they liked their food and if they needed anything, but he walked right past me and only spoke to the tables in front of and behind me. It may have been unintentional, but it did feel strange and made me feel a little out of place for a moment. Overall, my visit was great, and I would probably return.

First we were placed at the perfect table with the best view of the water while still being shaded. Enjoyed the variety of the drink menu. Ordered the Cucumber Watermelon Lemonade and the Jalapeño Dosarita, Starters were great - Raw Oysters & Watermelon Tuna. However when it came to the entrees, the Docs Yardbird sounded great in theory but was a bit too heavy handed on the blackening seasoning (still enjoyable) and would try it again, but it was not as awesome as the Lemon Caper Tuna (fantastic in flavor and cook - rare to med rare) and the green beans were cooked well with a lemon pepper seasoning. We will be back for sure! 😍

Everything about Doc's is great! The views, the food, the service...there's nothing you won't like about this place. You can sit and watch boats travel the Intracoastal waterway while you sip on a great drink from the bar and enjoy some amazing food! Prepare yourself though, this place can get really busy in the evenings, but if you stop in for lunch, you'll have a better chance at getting a table quickly. This is one of my favorite places to visit in Corpus Christi.

Totally surprised how good the food was… I was expecting it to be very meh and it was very good. Horseradish sauce was on point. To add a little more information for future patrons, we ended up ordering 2.5 lbs of peeled shrimp, because they were exceptional. Everything else was equally amazing, as my photos show.

Long wait but expected if you show up to doc's in late afternoon with 4 or more. Service was friendly and helpful atmosphere was very bright and open and had a great view. Food was good a little over cooked but to to the point where I was disappointed overall a good experience.

Great restaurant, food and service were friendly and fast. it’s a very busy place and the 45 min wait went by fairly fast with a few drinks from the bar. I only recommend them adding some ceiling fans or something to help with ventilation on hot humid days. It’s on a dock so it’s all basically outside which is ok but the floor fans weren’t as helpful on this particular. Look forward to visiting again and highly recommend

It was a beautiful day at the beach yesterday. Right out of church and straight to the waves.. There were no waves. Just crystal clear water. Calm peaceful waves... clean pressed sand. A medium sized crowd. Just beautiful.

Love coming here. We’ve camped out here twice and both times have been perfect. Not too crowded, pretty clean except for the rest rooms but it’s ok we still love it here & we’ll definitely come back.

The state park is absolutely wonderful.

This place was really really wet. Oh. And they let the dolphins loose for the day. 10 out of 5 stars. I will return.

The campsites are $25 a night, way cheaper then a hotel. Also access to public restrooms and showers.

Mustang Island is beautiful! A great place for the family!!!

Loved it. Very nice beach

Whitecap Beach was a great experience, especially considering that in Texas, you don’t often get much of a tropical-style beach setting. The shoreline was clean and well-maintained, which made for a pleasant first impression. However, it was very busy the day we went, so I recommend arriving early if you want a good spot. One important thing to note is that you’ll be driving on sand to get to your spot, so make sure your vehicle is capable and you know how to handle it. On the day we visited, at least 20 vehicles reportedly got stuck and had to be towed out. A little preparation and caution can save you a lot of trouble. The water itself was fairly warm — expected for the middle of summer — but it does cool down the deeper you go. The main downside is the murky water with low visibility; once you’re past about 1.5–2 feet of depth, you can’t see the bottom, so watch your step. The slope is gradual, so you can walk 150–200 feet out and still only be in about 4–5 feet of water, though the sandy floor does have uneven spots. Amenities are basic: restrooms are limited to portapotties and are located far from the main beach area, and we couldn’t find any public showers. On the plus side, there are roaming vendors selling snacks, drinks, and beach parking passes, which is convenient. Overall, Whitecap Beach is a fun, family-friendly spot if you’re prepared for the crowds and lack of full facilities. Bring your own shade, arrive early, and enjoy a warm day by the water.

We enjoyed our time at White Cap Beach — the weather and views were beautiful, and it’s a nice spot to relax. However, I did notice quite a bit of litter along the beach and even in the water, like plastic pieces and bits of food. It would be great if the area was cleaned more often. Also, there aren’t any proper washrooms, only portable toilets, which aren’t very hygienic. It would be so nice if there were clean water sprinklers or showers to rinse off the sand and salty water before leaving, since it can really irritate your skin. Overall, we had a good time, but I hope they make a few improvements to make the experience even better. 🌊☀️

This place makes me love Texas beaches. The sand is beautiful and the water is clear. It was busy on Saturday—even had a group pull right up next to my car(they couldn’t even open the passenger doors) and then setup in front of me. I thought they couldn’t use a lesson in beach etiquette. I didn’t see any side by sides or four wheelers on my trip. Sunrise is not to be missed.

Ok, for Texas this is a great beach. Get a permit before parking on the beach. There are free paved lots that are very close if you don’t care about parking on the beach. Being used to Southern California beaches makes it tough to rate this without prejudice, but it’s pretty good. Would visit again.

I love this beach. On our first night we were just looking around and took my girlfriend’s mini dachshunds for a walk on it and they didn’t even bark at people or other dogs. Now to the swimming it was great. I love to just let the waves crash on me and just go with the tide. The current can get strong so make sure you are aware and know your limits. I look forward to many more visits here

Nice, soft sand beach. No public parking, but you can park on the beach with the permit that is $12. Water was decent. I saw lots of fish! I would visit again. FYI...No showers to rinse off and only porta-potties for restroom.

Lots of parking! Sand is so nice. Someone accidentally caught a sea turtle when we were there. Also saw lots of regular jelly fish and a man of war. I will say we tried 3 other beaches but this one was the nicest

Wonderful tour and docent!

Coming by in about an hour yep I need to see a lady that wants some plumbing work on her bathroom easy money just run pipes

Interesting tour. We did ask some questions that no one knew the answer to, but overall a good experience

This is one of the most beautiful places , you would want to visit when you are here !

I been waiting years and finally was able to go visit .. it was beautiful , she right on the shoreline . it nice and clean .. it's truly beautiful . No ticket needed . You can park and walk up . Also her resting place is 9 mins away

First time visiting. Very peaceful little spot, they play Selena music and tell a little about her as you take pictures. It doesn't really look like her but the thought was sweet. It's free and there's plenty of parking especially on the weekday.

Such a sweet memorial for an incredible Artist. Area is well maintained and well visited by travelers in the off season but plenty of room for photo opportunities. There is a pre-recorded message playing intermittently to tell of Selena’s life and accomplishments with the memorial itself overlooking the bay. Off street parking available.

I came to visit Corpus Christi so I had to come pay my respects to Selena. It is a beautiful spot. Selena

I had an impromptu stop here and glad it happened despite the given circumstances. I’ve always wanted to visit Selena’s memorial as she was my idol as a little girl. It was the highlight to my super weird day.

Beautiful! Had to see something of hers. Selena is iconic, she her status and her hometown made me feel so happy.

Well cared for interesting colorful loved the music playing and the information worth it to see.

Very nice, we are at a restaurant there and the food was amazing, felt like we were in a 60s restaurant tbh. We rented a cart thing and drove around and went to the beach ,it was just beautiful and so many nice people, def want to go back :)

"Padre Island is an incredible destination for a family vacation. Its stunning beaches, exciting water activities, and breathtaking natural scenery make it an ideal spot to create lifelong memories with your loved ones. Fun and adventure await in this tropical paradise!"

This is the fourth time I came here at Isla del Padre or Padre Island. I think you expend your time here for a while, the sea is not rude it’s for all the family, and you can enjoy a lot with friends and relatives, you may can see a lot of people around the beach. This a good place to take the waves with your table surf and enjoy it

Beautiful and relaxing place to spend your time with your family and friends I enjoyed my summer at that place

Pretty beach but left over oil spill from the Deep Water Horizon incident was everywhere. Keep your sandals on and wear a junky bathing suit.

This is the beach to go to In South Texas ! Beautiful!

Such a nice getaway for Texans! It’s a 7 hour drive for us but we enjoy every moment while we’re there. Watching the sunrise on the beach each morning has become a highlight for us.

I’ve been riding horses since I was a kid in Brazil, and I’ve ridden in places like Canada and Las Vegas, but this company is truly the best. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the horses are not only numerous but also healthy and beautiful. Riding along the beach was an unforgettable experience—the view, the sunset, everything was perfect. Our guide, Josue, was fantastic. I took so many great pictures, and the memories will last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

This was the favorite part of our vacation. We did the sunset ride and it was phenomenal! Truly a bucket list experience. Cash was a great guide as well as his assistant. There was lively conversation along the ride about the horses as well as the area and recommendations for other places/things to try nearby. They did an excellent job pairing riders with suitable horses and the route to and on the beach was absolutely beautiful! It is worth every penny and we’d love to do it again sometime. Highly recommend!

The sunset ride was a surprise for my birthday. We had such a great time and will definitely recommend to others. I love that you use rescued horses! Please consider adding a cashless way to tip guides. They were great!!

I’ve never been horse back riding so this was a bucket list experience I selected for my 30th birthday trip. Hands down the highlight of our vacation, it was more than I expected! Staff was amazing, helpful, friendly and knew their horses. Everyone was relaxed and got to fully experience the trip! Would do it every weekend if I could!

My wife and I wrapped up our 25th anniversary with a late summer beach trip. Capped with our very first time riding horses, on the beach no less. Our guide, Laura, was an amazing host. The weather was perfect, and the horses were lovely. I will be returning each time I'm in the area. Thank you! (Shoutout to our horses Bandit & Valentine, they deserve all the extra snacks).

I have to give five stars because they did such a good job prioritizing and ensuring safety. Is a little more boring for some of us more experienced riders having to walk the whole way, but I can't fault them for having that protocol. It would be cool to have an option with the ability to gallop and trot for more experienced riders -like an "advanced" outing option. But the guides did a really phenomenal job and it was a beautiful once-in-a-lifetime experience.. Note: please make sure saddles are on straight and tight ❤️

Everything was amazing. Great experience from check in, to getting on our horses, to the ride, to getting off the horses. We had a great experience all around. I only wish we knew tips were cash only. We asked to add a tip on when we purchased our photos and we were told we couldn’t. We really wanted to leave a tip, but didn’t have any cash with us.

Our waitress Megan was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome the moment we sat down. She checked on us often without being intrusive, gave great communication and always had a smile on her face. Our drinks stayed full, the food came out quickly, and she made the whole dining experience so enjoyable. You can tell she truly cares about her customers. We’ll definitely be back, this restaurant Never fails to have the best food and drinks. Every time me and my hubby come to Corpus we have to stop by. Thank you again for always taking care of us. Cheers to The Grog drink!!

What a fantastic spot to hit after spending time at the aquarium or Lexington! Food was spot on delicious! You gotta have the hushpuppies and get them with ranch. The wrap and the chicken sandwich were simply mouthwatering. Fun atmosphere and the location was perfect.

Blackbeard’s On the Beach has a fun beachside vibe that definitely feels more suited for adults than small kids. The atmosphere may not be everyone’s style, but the food is outstanding - fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth the visit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome the moment we sat down, which made the whole dining experience so enjoyable. With the lively crowd inside, it’s clear this spot never fails to deliver some of the best food and drinks around.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Popped into Blackbeard’s on Margarita Monday and honestly had the best time! Their house margaritas are incredible — you can actually taste the drink, not just the mix, and they go down way too easy 😋 Destiny behind the bar was an absolute gem — so friendly, fun, and just one of those people you instantly click with. Chef Bubba (Matt) came out and made me some off-menu tacos and riblets that were out of this world. You could tell how much pride they both take in what they do. And the prices?! I came during happy hour and was blown away by how affordable everything was for such an amazing experience. The vibe, the food, the drinks, the people — everything was just perfect. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Corpus! 🌮🍹✨

We came during off seaso and the service was great. I got the seared tuna which the server/bartender said was one of the best things on the menu and I couldn't agree more. This place has a great atmosphere and good food. It was a good stop after the aquarium!

Great experience! Adrian was super nice & helpful. The food was amazing and the prices were very reasonable. Would definitely recommend! The seafood burger, fried shrimp, grilled fish and onion rings were all very good 😀

Amazing fried shrimp and other delicious sea food options. Friendly staff and decent drink specials. My first visit was very busy and I had to be patient, but knew it wasn’t normal. Went back the next day and got the experience I expected, excellent food and great staff.

A great place for breakfast. We come here every time we visit from San Antonio. The eggs and bacon are delicious. The 3 dollars pancakes are cute and very tasty. And I have to mention their biscuits and gravy, very good. Also, the staff is very friendly and prompt. The overall atmosphere here is amazing. We even loved how so many regulars were eating here and the employees were on first name basis with them. They already knew their orders too! That’s just great customer service. We will keep coming back and definitely recommend this place!

They just “get it”! Reminds me of a diner circa 1980. Honest helpful staff, great food! Breakfast menu was a solid choice of traditional american options and Mexican options. Food was fantastic! Portions were rational, and flavorful. My coffee cup stayed full the whole meal, every staff ensured we were cares for. Skip the fast food and try this local joint!

Andy's Kitchen in Corpus Christi is an absolute gem, embodying everything a classic diner should be. The ambiance is warm and inviting, a perfect blend of nostalgic charm and bustling energy. A delightful detail that truly sets it apart is the miniature toy train that perpetually circles the dining room, a whimsical touch that brings a smile to every face, young and old. The wait staff are consistently hospitable and genuinely friendly, making you feel like a welcomed guest rather than just a customer. They contribute significantly to the comforting, home-like atmosphere. But let's talk about the food! The biscuits and gravy are a revelation – fluffy biscuits smothered in a rich, flavorful gravy that tastes homemade. The crispy bacon is cooked to perfection, a crunchy complement to any breakfast dish. And the silver dollar pancakes? They are, without a doubt, the cutest you will ever lay eyes on, perfectly portioned and incredibly delicious. Andy's Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone seeking hearty, delicious food and an experience that feels like stepping back into a simpler, friendlier time.

Everything we ordered came out delicious!!!!! The customer service at this restaurant is very good and all employees were very friendly and mindful of what we needed weather it was a coffee refill our anything else, great atmosphere as well.

This was our first time at we will definitely be back! I was worried about a long wait because we got there around brunch rush, but we only waited 15 mins! Food was good, reasonably priced and great atmosphere!

This wasn’t the little restaurant I expected. The food was great, the place was lively and the train going round the restaurant was really interesting. The wait was a little long, but the food made up for it.

Andy's Country Kitchen: A Local Gem Where the Trains Run on Time (and the food is like home cooking). On a quest for authentic local flavor in Corpus Christi, Google led us to Andy's Country Kitchen, and boy, are we glad it did! We rolled in around noon, expecting a wait, but were whisked right to a table. Score one for immediate gratification! Stepping inside, you immediately realize this isn't your average chain restaurant. The decor is a delightful mix of aged wood, an abundance of greenery, and – wait for it – a model train that chugs along above your head! It's not fancy or trendy, but it's got a unique, quirky charm that just feels fun. Yes, it's a bit cozy (some might say "snug," especially when it's bustling), but they're clearly maximizing space to get all that deliciousness out to the hungry masses. Our server was efficient and friendly, guiding us through a menu loaded with comforting foods, including breakfast. And comforting it was! This is good, hearty, honest-to-goodness downhome cooking. The portions are generous and the food arrived surprisingly quickly. The prices? Very fair for the quality and quantity – a rare and beautiful thing these days. What truly sealed the deal for me was the distinct lack of obvious tourists. This felt like a genuine local hangout, which, as a discerning traveler, I wholeheartedly appreciate. If I lived in Corpus Christi, I'd be a regular fixture at Andy's. It's the kind of place where you leave feeling full, and happy. Don't expect white tablecloths; expect good food, good vibes, and maybe a little elbow room negotiation. Highly recommend for a truly local taste!

This is a great spot and the service is great. We had some delicious drinks and the blackened chicken sandwich was delicious. The menu is mostly seafood but they have burgers and salads also. The vibe is amazing and the reason we eat here. You are right on the water. 🤩

The atmosphere here was spot on. Part of the marina. I really enjoyed the fried shrimp and my server was amazing. The only downside was my taquitos. They had great flavor but were cold in the middle. Like refrigerator cold. The server offered to replace them but I had eaten about half of them despite the temperature issue because the flavor was amazing so I didn’t feel right about getting a new order. Just enough to keep from a 5 star rating, but everything else was great!

This was a pretty cool place. We actually ate on the water and you could feel it move the whole time. I had the server suprise me with a fish and it was really good, the unicorn fish. Slightly over cooked, but the sauce was awesome. Everyone was pretty happy with their food. Looking forward to going back and getting surprised again on a new meal!

Good food & cool atmosphere. The fans and breezes made the patio tolerable even in the midday sun and I'm a "big guy".coconut shrimp were crispy but the shrimp were still cooked perfect. She had the fish and chips. The only thing that would have made this place better would be live music.

We arrived at Harrison's Landing and were immediately seated on the patio. They do allow dogs, and the patio is covered, which made it a comfortable spot. We ordered drinks while we waited for dinner later that evening. They had a few drink specials, and we went with the Prickly Pear Margarita. It was solid. They also brought out ice water for our dogs, which was a nice touch. The only downside was the bathroom situation. The restrooms are located inside the gift shop, and there are only two available. Since it was a Saturday and just after 1 p.m., the shop was pretty busy and there was a bit of a wait to use the bathroom. Not ideal, but nothing major. We had a great seat by the water with a nice view. The overall atmosphere was relaxed, and the drinks were good. We appreciated being able to have our dogs with us. We didn’t eat this time, but we plan to come back and try the food on another visit.

We're visiting Corpus Christi and found out about this lil gem. The service and food is great and it's fun to sit outside on the water. The only thing I did not care for were the birds that were flying around trying to grab food, they weren't dive-bombing anyone though. The platters are plentiful, my sister and I shared the fish and chips. It tasted great. The oil used to fry the fish was clean and the flounder tasted fresh. We each got the El Jimador Margarita since it was the drink dé jour. Our server was Sabrina B. She was friendly, attentive and efficient. Thank you Sabrina. There's a gift shop next door and patrons get 20% off, just show your receipt. We will return to this establishment.

Perfect place on the water to have lunch! Parking was nearby restaurant is not that big but does have a floating dock where you can sit and eat while it’s moving on top of water . There was a nice breeze , wait staff was friendly . We ordered the shrimp cocktail, which was delicious. We also ordered the shrimp tacos. absolutely amazing and tasty. Not all beers on tap were working . Friendly Cool place for lunch date .

Upon entry, you can smell the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans. A peaceful coffee shop atmosphere with friendly staff. With peanut allergy, we were so happy to discover this place. My son safely enjoyed his blended Padre Paradise smoothie. I also loved the iced matcha. Thank you Island Joe's!

This coffee shop is hands-down my favorite! The coffee selection is outstanding, offering everything from bold espressos to smooth lattes and unique seasonal blends that keep me coming back. Their cinnamon buns are warm, gooey perfection, and the muffins—especially the blueberry—are fresh and flavorful. The vibe is fantastic, with cozy seating and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere perfect for working or catching up with friends. The staff is incredibly friendly, always greeting customers with a smile and genuine warmth. A must-visit for coffee lovers!

Wonderful little coffee nook with a lovely outside patio. The workers were so sweet and one even wrapped up my mug for me to make sure I could bring it home safely! It's on the island but its worth the trip from CC

Island Joe's was awesome! It's obviously a hot spot because of how busy it was when we were here. Unfortunately, the espresso machine was broken when we swung by, but the cold brew and brewed coffee was pretty solid. It's such a cool idea to have a bunch of shipping containers make the outside of the building. High recommend!

It was a nice place to chill and relax. they have indoor and outdoor seating as well as a second floor. i tried the ice island girl latte, strawberry banana smoothie, bacon cheese kolache, and the biscuit and all of it was great. cool vibes.. will be coming back again!

This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots! The staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food and drinks never disappoint. I love that there’s both indoor and outdoor seating — and there’s so much space, it never feels crowded. The drive-thru is super convenient too, especially when I’m on my way to work. Highly recommend checking it out!

Idk why this is rated 4.6. My daughter's cold brew tasted like there was no coffee in it, and she had to add coffee when we got home. That still didn't fix it, so she threw it away. The biscuits were just frozen processed biscuits, and the bacon was basically nonexistent. How do you not have butter when all you serve is biscuits and bagels? Finally, $28 for 2 bacon and egg biscuits, 1 plain biscuit, a small smoothie and large cold brew that wasn't even coffee. No bag, all handed out the window individually. Our first and last time here. They've got nothing on 7Brew as far as the drinks.

Came to The House of Rock for a vendor market and ended up staying for the vibes and the food! The pepperoni pizza is everything a pizza should be — perfect crunch, gooey cheese, tasty sauce, and just the right amount of pepperoni. A slice with a drink came out to under $8, which is a great deal. The events they host are also really fun and well put together. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Was in Corpus for the day and stopped in for lunch. So glad we did! Immediately welcomed with a smile AND EYE CONTACT as soon as we walked in...GREAT start. Food was great, atmosphere cool, customer service phenomenal! Wish we lived closer because we'd go back again and again. Highly recommend the Corpus Christi Bay cocktail 🍸

Love this venue! Show was great. People were chill and nice. S'more bake was dumb good. Overall good vibes. 10/10

Excellent service and the pizza is fantastic. The house sauce wings are the best that I’ve ever had

5 stars because the whole experience was great. I would only suggest the changing of menu descriptions, or notice of item substitutions. I ordered the spaghetti with meatballs, and it stated it would be 2 large homemade meatballs. Which it didn’t come with, even if they were frozen, it’s ok. But, I went in expecting 2 large homemade meatballs. Ready to give them a try when they’re back on!

Great place for a casual drink and food. The salad was very fresh, crisp, and delicious.

Awesome venues, good food, cool barstaff!

Downtown seawall is beautiful. My early morning visit allowed me the privilege of watching the sun rise over the water which was absolutely breath taking. It’s unbelievably peaceful. You can gaze upon the water or people watch both in peace. You’ve got people riding bikes on their morning bike ride, couples talking a morning stroll, You have people walking their dogs which was no inconvenience as everyone wants to enjoy their time, and they all seem to clean up after them. You can watch the boats and tugger go in and out of the port, and sometimes you may catch a large ship making its way in or out as well. That marina is just a short walk down as well. The park is beautiful and clean, with scooter rentals available. The workers may be out cleaning up or cruising past but they’re all incredibly respectful and helpful. You can not go wrong with a morning visit here.

It’s a place you just want to visit once and that too in day light, there are no restaurants or food truck in evening, along with that the place is surrounded by bunch of homeless people trying to attack the passing vehicles. Try to avoid this location specifically in night, not safe for family to drive around the downtown CC

Día de los muertos at Downtown was freaking Awesome!! We try to go every year...we meet cool people and it's fun!😀

Downtown Beach in Corpus Christi is a beautiful place early in the morning. If you ever get a chance... check it out. Relax and enjoy the view. This is what I'm use to seeing every time I come downtown in the morning.💯👑💎🤝🏾

The Marina Arts District is simply FANTASTIC!!!! The look, feel, and vibe keeps me coming back to Corpus Christi over and over again. So much to photograph! So much to see and experience! Outstanding, top-notch dining, craft beer, art, entertainment, museums, the T-heads.... I'm in love with a city, and her name is Corpus Christi.

We love working with The Downtown Management District and their team! Being in the Merchant's Association is very affordable and brings together downtown businesses that want to make our city and area a better, safer place to live and work!

1 star for Beautiful place 1 star for how big it is 1 star for amount of activities construction at once 1 star for good places to eat 0 stars due to being close to the water for bad weather location in a few areas like the beach

First I have to say we have gone every time we visit the area over the last 3 years. Every time we love it. It's always pretty calm, the pizza is good and staff always goes above and beyond. My son and nephew were on the bumper boats and were only 2 kids. To my dismay they started shooting water at the staff and instead of them just getting mad or ignoring them the 2 staff members jumped in and played with them.

This was our first time here, and we had such a great experience! The staff was super friendly and quickly helped resolve an issue I had with an app purchase. The bumper boats were a blast, and we had a lot of fun playing mini golf. Even though it was hot, the course is well shaded, and the breeze made it much more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!

Kids had a great time and the family lived to watch them race

Weather was great on this day, the outside employees, welll they make you not want to take your kids back. I get it's hot, and you can get irritable, but that's your job! Instead of having both go karts opened, they only had the adult track open, and that made the wait time longer for the kids that have time limits for birthday parties. The party host was awesome she was so friendly, and the food was delicious.

First time going and I was really surprised at the amount of machines and rides that they have. The place is super clean and there is someone always cleaning machines after being used. It's much larger then I expected. Prices are decent and the dining area is very large. Great fun for a family looking for something todo. The whole place is very well maintained!

Amazing place to take the kids. Go karts, putt putt, video games, bumper boats, bumper cars, batting cages, and three different amusement park rides. Video games are very similar to what you would find at a chukie cheese. They do have food and drink options there, but we ate lunch before we went. The putt putt course is by far the best one around. It's clean and very well kept up. The only thing I didn't care for was they charged us for an extra person for my 2 yr old to be a passenger on the bumper boats $8 and bumper cars $6. Other than that, it's a really fun place.

This place has very poor customer service. It was about 10pm when we finished playing miniature golf. We came inside, and I needed to go to the restroom. The doors to both men and women restrooms were closed with trash cans in front of them. I asked the lady behind the counter if I could use the restroom, and she told me, "the restrooms are closed because we just cleaned them." I told her "you still have people playing mini golf and people inside playing in the arcade, and we can't use the restroom?" She then told me, "you can go to Walmart across the street" I told her, "are you kidding me? You still have all these people here paying to play and we have to go across the street because you closed the restrooms already?" This is the worst company restroom policy I have ever heard of.
