The name Moody Gardens indicated to me formal gardens much like the Arboretum in Dallas, but instead it's not a garden at all but a theme park with zipline, wave pool, an aquarium and other amusements. Our group decided to take a look at the Rainforest Pyramid which was quite amazing with its lush vegetation and plenty of birds, reptiles and animals to see. The Paddlewheel Boat also leaves from a dock at the edge of the gardens.
