The USS Lexington, also known as The Blue Ghost, is a renowned WWII aircraft carrier and naval museum located in Corpus Christi. Commissioned in 1943, it played a significant role in the Pacific War during World War II. In 1992, it was transformed into a naval aviation museum to educate the public about its historical significance and its contributions to national defense.
This was a great experience with so much to see! We went in during the month of July. While some parts are air conditioned, other areas can be pretty warm, so dress accordingly. Admission was very fair considering the amount of time that was spent here and the variety of exhibits. They do have a decent concession area, as well as a few vending machines with drinks spread across the main deck. The photo ops were super fun for the kids, and there are many resting points throughout the tours, too! Definitely worth checking out if you need something to do in Corpus Christi!
Tiffany B — Google review
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.
Arthur J — Google review
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.
Darren L — Google review
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.

This place was super cool. I went in with no expectations and half way mediocre experience. However, this place was a delight to visit. Whether you like big ships, or are a history buff this place is for you. Not only is it a museum with TONS to look at, you also get to explore an aircraft carrier (top deck, below deck through tiny corridors, etc). The only things I would warn about is some of the areas do not have air conditioning and the air is stagnant. So be prepared for some HOT areas during the summer. Some of the stairwells are very narrow and steep (but it added to the experience for me, but some individuals with mobility issues may struggle). All in all, great experience and blew me away. The escape rooms are great too!!! Check them out (they include admission to the ship) and let you do escape rooms IN the ship!
Gage S — Google review
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.
Scott S — Google review
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.
Thomas F — Google review
This historic ship is worth visiting, offering a wealth of experiences from World War II in 1943. It contains so much information that no school, college, or even university will tell you in detail for your knowledge if you are as passionate about history as I am. A unique experience to live through, as it shows you what life was like at that time and what the crew was like in combat during those war years. Take your family so your children can see what history is all about.

The Art Museum of South Texas (AMST) is a vital part of the Corpus Christi arts community, located along North Shoreline Boulevard with stunning views of Corpus Christi Bay. The museum houses over 1,900 permanent works including regional fine art, photography, and crafts. Visitors can explore diverse art forms such as paintings, photographs, sculptures, glasswork, ceramics, and large installations that showcase the rich artistic heritage of the Americas and Texas region.
We loved it. It was our first time to visit despite living here all our lives. The art was beautiful and the atmosphere was calming. We will definitely go again. There were even a few pieces by Picasso.
Leslie R — Google review
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.
Abraham M — Google review
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.
Susanna G — Google review
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.

Laura — Google review
The museum has a beautiful location on the bay. It's a very nice building with kind workers. The museum was smaller than I thought it would be...you can make it through in an hour or so, and the "photography is art" exhibit was a little underwhelming, in my opinion. However, like most arts, it's subjective and you may love it. That said, the permanent exhibits were beautiful...I especially liked the Spanish/Texan/Mexican art area and the sculptures. Upstairs they had work from local school children and some are very talented. It was fun to see what the local kids can do too!

Aquarium

The Texas State Aquarium is a top-notch destination for exploring the diverse marine life of the region. With 18 exhibits showcasing a wide array of sea creatures, visitors can marvel at everything from enormous fish tanks housing global species to recreated habitats like Swamp Tales and Tortuga Cay. The aquarium also offers live shows featuring well-trained dolphins demonstrating impressive tricks and stunts, as well as entertaining bird performances.
A must visit!!! Our whole family loved this. It was a great way to entertain everyone and stay cool during the day. They had plenty of food and drink options, so much to see, and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The cost is completely worth the visit. Our favorite part was definitely the dolphins! They were lively and seemed happy. All the animals were well kept and they had so many eels to see (my personal favorite).
Kelsie P — Google review
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!
Neil D — Google review
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!
Kym H — Google review
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.

Really cool experience. The largest aquarium in Texas I ever visited. The admission fee was very expensive in my opinion but parking is free. I was impressed by the restaurant/cafe on site near the turtles exhibit. There’s also a very cool water park available to guest.

🌟🌟🌟🌟 Four Stars – A Great Family Adventure with Room to Grow! We had a fantastic time at the Texas State Aquarium! The exhibits were engaging, especially the dolphin show and the Caribbean Journey section – the sharks, rays, and sea turtles were crowd favorites. The aquarium does a great job of combining education with entertainment, making it a hit for both kids and adults. The facility was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. My kids especially enjoyed the interactive touch pools and the splash pad area – great ways to cool off and burn some energy. The reason for four stars instead of five? Ticket prices are quite steep, especially for a relatively small aquarium when compared to similar facilities across the U.S. and internationally. For larger families, the cost adds up quickly. A few areas also felt a bit dated, and while the food options were okay, more variety would be a welcome improvement. Still, this is a gem in Corpus Christi and absolutely worth a visit if you’re in the area. With a few updates and more accessible pricing, this could easily be a five-star destination. We’ll definitely be back!

The South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center is a vast educational facility showcasing a diverse range of plant and animal life. Visitors can participate in classes and guided tours to learn more about the local flora and fauna. In addition to this attraction, the area offers other points of interest such as the Corpus Christi Botanical Gardens, Hans and Pat Suter Wildlife Refuge, Redfish Bay for fishing enthusiasts, and the nearby Pharaoh's golf course.
This place is so beautiful and relaxing… the volunteers working there are so dedicated to care for the animals and garden. We met Jorge…a master orchid gardener. What a pleasure to listen to him about the history and care of this exotic species! They have the most amazing orchids plants we have ever seen.🥰 Many are for sale too! If you come to Corpus Christi you have to come here 💯 recommend it.

We enjoyed our visit. The orchids and butterfly house are beautiful. There is a small reptiles/animal area, the staff is very friendly and you can hold one of the snakes if you want. There is a small loop trail that we enjoyed and a longer trail which we did not have time for. The location is not huge, but it is definitely worth the visit. Our only disappointment was there is a miltary discount ticket price listed but when we asked for it as a retired Army family we were informed it is only for active duty military. However, even at full price $10 is worth it.

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.

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

Nestled in the vibrant S.E.A. District of Corpus Christi, the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History is a treasure trove for those eager to delve into the region's rich tapestry of history, culture, and science. Spanning nearly 100,000 square feet, this expansive museum offers an array of permanent and special exhibits that cater to all ages.
Great museum! There's lots to see as an adult, including minerals, shells, birds, and a historic ship wreck. There is plenty to keep the young entertained and provide exposure to science. A large climbing tower seems to be the favorite. Outside, there are several pieces of playground equipment as well as percussion musical stations. We went in November 2024, and there was no fee to enter. I was told it would be like that for all of November and December. The parking lot is just a short walk away from the entrance to the ship channel. Great place to see the Lexington from a distance and see incoming ships.

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.

The Selena Museum, located in Corpus Christi, is a touching tribute to the iconic Tejano music sensation, Selena Quintanilla-Perez. This intimate memorial showcases an extensive collection of her awards, stage costumes, personal belongings, and photographs that trace her remarkable career. The museum is situated at Selena's former recording studio and offers fans a poignant look into the life of the beloved Queen of Tejano Music.
My wife and I had an amazing experience here. We love Selena so much and finally had the opportunity to go to her museum. This place is incredible first we met her dad and mom and they took us into her Recording studio we had the opportunity to be in there for a bit and then we had the chance to walk though the whole museum I know it brought my wife back when she was a little girl watching Selena and hearing her music back then. This place is incredible I love her legacy still lives
Kendall B — Google review
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!

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.

Beautiful tribute to Selena. I didn’t know that was originally supposed to be her recording studio. Everything was beautifully done. Gift shop had great memorabilia at reasonable prices. The first part (the studio) is a brief guided tour with stories regarding what she recorded there. It is only about 10-15 mins long, then the rest of it is self-guided. Total time we were there was probably 45 mins to an hour. Suitable enough to bring your kids and it may even be wheelchair/scooter-friendly, if you request to go in “backwards” through the exit door where you would normally come out at the end of the tour. Otherwise, a big step up is required to gain access to main part of museum/where you pay. Only thing I would request is that you open on Saturdays! We put this as our last stop on our way back home to Dallas on Monday, which added some time to our drive, but it was worth it.

Public beach
Mustang Island State Park spans 3,954 acres and is a picturesque section of Gulf Coast land just a short drive from Corpus Christi. The park features gleaming white sand, light blue waters, and lush green dunes. Visitors can enjoy activities such as swimming, hiking, biking, picnicking, and camping in the 18-mile barrier island.
This is a great place to sit on the beach and enjoy the waves! You can drive your vehicle on the beach, so no having to carry all your beach gear a long ways. We have been here multiple times & we always love it. Don’t touch the pretty blue jellyfish that have washed up on shore!There are portable potty restrooms nearby (at the parking area for those who don't want to drive on the beach). There are also nice regular restrooms and outdoor showers to rinse off sand near the camping area, and restrooms at the park store.

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.

We probably would not stay at this campground again because it was so humid. You could not see the beach from the campground, but you could walk around the dune about a quarter mile to actually get to the beach. The bathroom facilities were very nice with many shower stalls too. We had 50 amp service with good water pressure and there was a dump site near the exit to the RV campground. There were lots of tents around the RVs, which made it not as nice and there were zero trees. The wind was very strong 100% of the time I was afraid I would have to stake down my truck (just kidding). I can’t believe anyone would camp in a tent here because it’s so hot and so humid you couldn’t possibly have a good night sleep. If you were looking for a place to relax this probably isn’t it. It is very windy and very hot and humid. The people in tents must’ve been miserable. Had we known we didn’t have to buy a $12 annual pass to park on the beach at Aranza’s beaches, not at the state park. You could go on any beach with this annual pass, some people had their RVs on those beaches.

Perched on a bluff in uptown Corpus Christi, Centennial House stands as a living testament to history. Once a Civil War hospital utilized by both the North and South armies, this 1849-built home has been meticulously restored and transformed into a captivating museum. Visitors can explore its rooms filled with antique furniture and period-appropriate artifacts, offering insight into the opulent lifestyle of the 1850s upper class.
The Centennial House is only open on the first Sunday of every month from noon to 4p.m. Cost is $3 and all donations are welcome. There is a guided tour included. Sandra was our guide and she was awesome! I highly recommend anyone to take the time to visit it. You are allowed to take as many pictures as you want.

The current main display is the gowns from the Las Donas de la Corte event; usually only 3 weeks displayed.

There is a wonderful, slightly pricey, restaurant connected to The Art Center; great drinks and very good food.

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.

The Harbor Bridge in Corpus Christi, Texas is a significant part of the city's skyline and has been in operation since 1959. Currently undergoing extensive renovations, it will soon become the tallest point in South Texas and the longest cable-stay bridge in the United States. The bridge offers a picturesque route along the coastline to Nueces Bay Causeway and Portland. At night, it comes alive with over 10,000 individual lights that create a stunning LED light show.
It was a great day to Walk the Harbor Bridge! Now we need to open up the new bridge.

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!

Downtown Corpus Christi is a must-visit for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the city's cultural essence. This historic district boasts well-preserved architecture, including Victorian-style buildings and vibrant murals depicting the city's past. Situated at the heart of Corpus Christi, it provides easy access to attractions like the waterfront promenade, Art Museum of South Texas, Selena Memorial Statue, Harbor Playhouse, and Corpus Christi Marina.
Downtown Corpus Christi has an energy that’s both lively and inviting. The streets are filled with people strolling along, enjoying the warm coastal breeze, and soaking in the stunning waterfront views. There’s a vibrant mix of locals and visitors, many walking their dogs, adding to the friendly, community feel. McGee Beach is a perfect reflection of this charm. The soft sand, the glistening water, and the sun casting a golden glow over the shoreline make it an ideal spot to relax or take a leisurely walk. Whether you’re out for a jog, grabbing a bite at one of the nearby restaurants, or just sitting back and watching the waves roll in, there’s something undeniably peaceful about it. Despite its smaller size, Corpus Christi has a big heart. The passion for good food, great company, and the coastal lifestyle shines through in every corner. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, take in the beauty, and truly enjoy the moment!

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.

Buc Days Park is the heart of Corpus Christi's vibrant community, especially during the much-anticipated Buc Days Festival held every Labor Day weekend. This lively event transforms the city into a pirate-themed wonderland, celebrating its rich maritime heritage with an array of activities that cater to all ages. From colorful parades and dazzling costumes to thrilling rodeos and carnival rides, there's no shortage of excitement.
Rodeo was fantastic. The walk through we did was fun, I forgot to get my funnel cake I've been wanting for months. Well there is next year.

First time going a few months ago .. it was better than expected.. I am new here so we enjoyed it.. prices are what are expected… plenty to do with the indoor exhibits and the rodeo that’s going on the entire time of the event. There was a lot of people but I it very spread out so it doesn’t really feel congested . If your planing to ride the rides spend the extra Cash and get a bracelet.. worth coming back to once a year ..

The $10 gate entry fee allows you access to enjoy pig races, petting zoo, shows, and much more. Great selection of carnival rides for young kids and teens/adults. My family has a fun time every year. Tip: Save $$ and buy $25 all you can ride presale carnival wristbands.

NEVER AGAIN! rodeo was ok ... but the parking HORRIBLE! (as usual, but worse!) we arrived at ABC at 6:00pm, the rodeo started at 7:00pm. we drove around for 55 minutes trying to find a place to park. impossible! husband finally dropped me off as i am unable to walk too far without causing leg pain. still ended up having to walk 5 blocks around carnival to get to rideo entrance. he ended up having to park 3/4 - 1 mile away and still pay $20. unvelievable! did not get into rodeo until 7:30, we missed opening ceremony and at least 2 events. WHY ... WHO'S IDIOTIC IDEA ... JUST STUPID THINKING was it to put the carnival right in front of arena entrance? the rodeo and carnival are not related other than being part of buc days, there is absolutely no reason to place them together. absolutely ruined the rodeo by blocking access everywhere, then blocking roads off. there are other areas to set up carnival, therefore spreading out people and traffic flow, parking and access to events spread out so there is at least reasonable expectations and enjoyment is possible. it is way too expensive to have such a horrible experience every time! 1 1/2 hours to find parking to pay $20 to park 3/4 -1 mile away. the abc planning and management is the absolute worst! we have wasted at least around $2000 over the last 3 years and can say EVERY event was a dissappointment! (it isn't the entertainers or events, it is abc's incompetant management of it!) we are done, DONE with abc ripping us off with their complete incompetency!!! from now on we will spend the $ to go and stay out of town so we can enjoy the events we pay for. i absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND any event at abc unless your expectations are really rock bottom. 1 star given to post, but a minus 5 star deserved.

I paid $350 upfront for a specific location to be a food vendor. When I got there I was told it was not available. They put me in another unacceptable and unsafe location in the back of a parking lot. Cars were literally a few feet from my serving window. No place for customers to stand. A Buccaneer official tried to move us to another location. He told us to shut everything down and get ready to move. Removed the hot grease in fryer and got ready. When he came back he said he was over ruled by a higher authority. He said he would get us our entry fee back since we didn't get the location we paid. After phone calls and emails since, no one has responded to me. Bad business by the Buccaneer Commission.

Shopping mall
La Palmera is a renowned enclosed mall in Corpus Christi, offering over 100 shopping and dining options as well as occasional events. It has become a staple for locals and visitors alike. The mall features popular national retailers such as Dillard's, Macy's, JCPenney, American Eagle, and H&M. Additionally, The Shops at La Palmera across the street offer more retail and dining choices.
This is a classy Mexican restaurant with authentic cultural cuisine and flavors. The seating is plentiful, and the booths even have phone charger stations for USB and a standard plug. The food was fantastic, especially for a moderate price point where you can spend the same at a lower end restaurant for lesser quality food. The service was very kind and attentive without being overly pushy, with a great balance. If you have Priscilla, you'll be in good hands.

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!

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.

But they did have every store I was looking for.

Cemetery
Old Bayview Cemetery, the oldest cemetery in Corpus Christi, has a rich history dating back to the mid-19th century. It serves as the final resting place for early settlers and soldiers from the Texas Revolution and Civil War. The site also witnessed the Battle of Corpus Christi during the Civil War. Despite minimal signage, it remains a gem of historic significance. Visitors have been pleasantly surprised by its hidden historical treasures and informative displays organized by local groups.
Stopped by today after learning of this cemetery through "googling" what to do and places to visit in Corpus Christi. I was not disappointed! In fact, as luck would have it, I met up---quite coincidentally---with a woman that was there who is quite involved with the care, advancement, and historical information about this cemetery: Miss Karen. She made my visit extra special by telling me about the individuals interred in this cemetery, even relating details about the families buried there---their shared histories, and so forth. I was very grateful, and even more intrigued about the cemetery and those that were laid to rest in it. I cannot wait to return!

If you’re into history this is worth checking out. Park and take a walk through the cemetery and you’ll see stones from pre-1900 as well as historical markers describing some of the people buried on site. Area around the cemetery is a bit run down so be aware of your surroundings.

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 inn features two relaxed restaurants, including Roosevelt's which offers prime steaks and seafood catches with an enforced dress code. It is also known for its extensive wine list and fine dining experience.
Amazing little hotel. But be advised that these are just rooms to sleep in with the bathroom. See pictures on their website. The pictures are accurate. There are no other amenities, no TV in most rooms. The grounds are lovely, the pool is very refreshing and the porches are the best place to spend a hot hot day at the beach enjoying a cool breeze. Roosevelt is a great place to grab the drink a while in Port A.

We booked a room. Checked in and they gave us a different persons room so we had left the hotel had to come back and let them know it wasn’t our name nor our room. So they gave us our room we leave come back at 12am and the key doesn’t work on the door knob I recorded where we tried it soo many times so we can show them in the morning because no one was there at night. Luckily we had family who rented a house so we stayed with them.we go back the next morning and they try to the key and the girl struggles to open the door and she got it open. They didn’t refund us our money because of their “policy”. Very disappointing and I was soo frustrated!! I Do not recommend.

I just got back from a girls' weekend at this gem of a hotel and everyone in my group loved the property. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean and comfortable. They offer all the modern amenities but preserve the hotel's historical integrity. This type of charm isn't something you find in many properties these days. I personally loved looking at all the historical pictures our room and in the lobby. The lobby has tarpon scales with past visitors' names on them--even one from Franklin Roosevelt! I spent a while just walking around and looking at all of them. We also had dinner and breakfast at 1886 (one of the restaurants on the hotel's property), and the food was *amazing*. We ordered two orders of the focaccia bread (one wasn't enough!) and the crab cakes were so, so good! The breakfast was great as well. Everything was fresh and delicious--especially the beignets! Also, if you stay at the hotel, you get a discount of golf carts at Tarpon Carts, which is located right next to the property. We had one, and it was extremely convenient to be able to walk right next door for pickup and drop-off. I highly recommend this hotel! It's a unique spot with friendly service!

Got a citation for speeding with a court date of 5/26/25. That is a holiday, the courts will be closed. Very cool. I tried to call 30 separate times over 5 days (not exaggerating) and no one answered. Finally someone answered and told me my ticket wasn't in the system yet, despite it occurring 2 weeks prior. Finally now on 5/20/25 I called again and was able to get ahold of someone after an hour of calling. Lastly, to take the defensive driving course I would of had to mail in a copy of my license and insurance and a money order for $144. That is just the court fee, not even the fee for the course. This courthouse is a joke and they don't care about helping people, they just want to make it as inconvenient as possible for you, so you have no choice but to miss your court date (scheduled on a holiday) and have a warrant, or pay the fine without contesting it.

I had my step daughter see judge Benavides and she was being bullied very badly and got in trouble for defending herself. In the beginning we were told the children can choose no contest to speak with judge and we did that and judge still found her guilty when she chose no contest. Unfortunately my step daughter had to be removed from an unsafe environment and we made sure she got her hours done and classes done. I did call the office and was told the judge wanted to speak with me and to bring my daughter. Well today we went over there and the lady was rude and seem to not care and said “the judge is not even here today” And that basically we were wasting our time. I did believe and trust the judges secretary to bring my daughter to speak with the judge and it feels like we were let down. I’m not saying my daughter is perfect but cmon I thought the judge wanted to be there and help our teens and would always be available I really wanted the judge to help with the things that have happened, so either the secretary lied to me or she lied to me for the judge. Judge Benavides please help.

REAL GRAND CLOSED ON MONDAY THE DAY AFTER EASTER 🐣 SUNDAY! YOU’RE CITY WORKERS SHOULD BE AT WORK TODAY. TODAY IS NOT A HOLIDAY! I CALLED CITY COURT HOUSE IN SAN ANTONIO AND SOMEONE ANSWER THE PHONE AND WAS NICE TO ME. TOLD HER I WAS SORRY TO BOTHER HER BUT WAS THE COURT HOUSE FUNCTIONING TODAY. AND PROCEEDED TO TELL HER IM FROM SA AND HERE IN CC AND THE WHOLE BUILDING IS CLOSED. THANK GOODNESS MY SISTER DIDNT DRIVE FROM SA TO SIGN PAPERS AT THE COURT HOUSE. WOULD HAVE WASTED HER DAY AND GAS MONEY. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. ANOTHER REASON TO SELL THIS PROPERTY. THIS CITY/ COUNTY IS RUN VERY POORLY. ANOTHER SIGN THAT SELLING IS THE RIGHT MOVE. MOVED HERE 2 YRS AGO. CALLED CITY TO FIND OUT WHY COUNTY OFFICE WAS CLOSED. RUDE And proceeded to tell me five times that they’re the county and she’s the city and I told her I get that but the number you’re gonna give me is only gonna call them which they’re closed so I’m just curious if there’s any other way to find out why they’re closed when you should be open just like you’re at work. I said they should be at work today today ain’t no different.

When you need to pay a fine the card readers wont work or they charge interest so you have to use the ATM. when you have questions they dont really want to help. Juvenile court, is everyone going into the courtroom together all at once and takes 3 hours or more if you're the last person. The guy Judge was pretty nice but I hate this place. If my stupid kid stays out of trouble I hope to never go back.

MISSY MEDARY NEEDS TO LEAVE!! Change judges if possible. 347th missy medary. I was suppose be on probation for 5 yrs. Ended up being on for 8 because I couldnt pay for probation fees. Did all my classes and everything, even enrolled in welding at stvt since I couldn’t find a job. Missy was out sick or something the last time I had court. I forgot the judge I had but she saw my paperwork and asked why was I still on probation and immediately approved my case for dismissal. Missy lets her emotions get to her. If someone pisses her off she takes it out on the rest of the people there for court. A woman said she had done meth and hanging with felons and just disobeying Missy, but she let her go, I owed money to probation and she locked me up for 3 months. Missy needs to leave office if she’s going to let her emotions run the court!

La Retama Downtown Park is a beautiful downtown park that offers great views of the city and is a popular spot for people to relax, eat lunch, and enjoy the sunshine. It has a lot of benches, tables, and chairs, making it perfect for taking in a nice view or catching some sunlight. The park also has a cool underground tunnel connecting the upper business district with the market area below, which amplifies the music from the Art Walk events happening in the park.

Have lived around the corner from this park and it has been going down hill. The last 6 months the homeless population has grown In the park and due to that, the park has become a public rest room they bath in the drinking fountain and the just squat and relive their bouls every where in the park. It's disgusting used needles and broken glass everywhere. Hope the city can do something about it.

He was incredibly knowledgeable and eloquent, weaving together the city’s haunted history and unsettling lore with a storyteller’s flair that kept us hooked the entire time. Dan even shared some eerie photos from previous tours that gave us chills—and definitely set the mood for the rest of the evening! The tour was the perfect mix of fun, creepy, and informative.

I've attended off and on for the past two years, but I've started to attend regularly with the change of Pastor. There was nothing wrong with the previous Pastor who was trying to retire.
