Aquaventure
Much like a scavenger hunt, you’ll embark on a self-guided journey around the Aquarium, answering questions like “How many times does a moon jelly pulse in a minute?” or “How long does it take for a shark to swim across the Caribbean Sea?” Some questions only take an observant eye, while others may take some number crunching.

Conservation
At the Texas State Aquarium, part of our mission is supporting wildlife conservation and we are doing that through our Wildlife Rescue program and numerous partnerships. The Aquarium is currently participating and supporting conservation research that improves wildlife populations of coral, sharks, ocelots and sea turtles.
