HEB Splash Park is the first zero-depth wetscape water play area in the Coastal Bend! This marine-themed park features state-of-the-art water spray jets, interactive water features, water cannons, and more.

Owen's Paleo Park is a fossil dig site which allows guests to unearth fossilized remains of animals, such as the Giant ground sloth and the Saber toothed cat that roamed the Coastal Bend 13,000 years ago.

What to Bring:

  • Sunscreen
  • Towel
  • Water shoes if desired (no street shoes allowed on splash pad)
  • Appropriate swimwear required

Changing rooms are available, and we also have lockers available for rent. Lockers are $2 for the day, with a $5 refundable deposit. Lockers can be rented at the Guest Services Desk in the Lobby.

There is no extra fee to enter the Splash Park; it is included in the Aquarium admission price. No outside food or drink allowed.
