 The penguins are calling, the penguins are calling!!! Join us on this totally unique and incredibly exciting adventure with real, live PENGUINS!!!

We will fly to Houston and then travel to the ocean in nearby Galveston, Texas. There we will explore Moody Gardens and have an adventure where you will be up close and personal with penguins. These will mainly be King and Rockhopper penguins and we will be in a special room right off of the penguin exhibit prepared for the event. The penguins will even design a special piece of art for everyone that you can take home and display as a keepsake of your vacation! Now that is cool!!!!

In addition to your penguin adventure we will take a ferry to nowhere (and since it’s nowhere will have to ride back) but it’s an amazing boat ride with incredible views of the ocean, beaches, ships, etc. We will also take a harbor boat ride where we can see dolphins and explore the beautiful harbor. If the banana boat is freshly docked the harbor will literally smell of bananas! No trip to the Houston area would be complete without a dinner at Hard Rock Café!
