The Texas State Aquarium, situated in Corpus Christi, Texas, is a non-profit aquarium committed to promoting the Gulf of Mexico and conservation. The major attractions at the Aquarium include the four Dolphins: Cobie, DJ, Kai, and Shadow. Kai and DJ were brought from the Brookfield Zoo, while Shadow and Cobie came from the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Cobie passed away at the age of 15 from a chronic lung illness. At the Dolphin Bayand, one can learn a lot about the Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.
Another major attraction at the Texas State Aquarium is the Hawn Wild Flight Theater. This theater was added to the Aquarium on April 24, 2007. It was established to honor the Hawn family for their venerable dedication to the Aquarium’s mission of wildlife education and conservation in South Texas. The Aquarium also features animal interviews, hands-on-experience with stingrays and sharks, and daily dive presentations. Other highlights at the Aquarium include the Islands of Steel, where one can see a sand tiger shark; and the wonderful world of sea turtles and river otters. The Texas State Aquarium offers all the fun and adventure of an aquatic journey.
