Things to do in Corpus Christi, Texas (TX): The Best Sights & Landmarks

January 20, 2022 Jacquiline Delozier

Corpus Christi possesses all of the main ingredients of an ideal weekend getaway: the sun, the sea, the sights, plus exhilarating and engaging activities the whole family can enjoy. Spend the day on the beach soaking up the sun or wind surfing, the breezy city's favorite pastime. Visit the massive Texas State Aquarium with its new Dolphin Bay, a protected habitat for dolphins unable to survive in open water. Take a tour of The USS Lexington, one of the most famous aircraft carriers in U.S. naval history. Stroll through fabulous flora and fauna at the Botanical Gardens. At the Museum of Science and History, check out the recreated Pinta and Santa Maria, two of the ships Columbus used to sail to the new world. At night, enjoy a succulent seafood dinner at any number of fine restaurants, then head to the historic Harbor Playhouse for delightfully original community theater and a true taste of what Corpus Christi is all about.

We will always keep you in our hearts. There are some who bless us, just long enough to love them, then they're gone. The Lord needed you and you answered the call. Brave you will always be held in high esteem. We miss you and until, and as we look forward to when we all meet again in paradise, heaven, where our fathers house has many rooms.

Heritage Park & Cultural Center

Historical area of beautifully restored homes of Corpus Christi's founders.

Reviewed By LittlePaint - Urbandale, United States

.... All have been moved here from elsewhere in the city and are clustered for easy viewing. Each home has an historical plaque with the history of the structure and the people who built it. A fun couple of hours. There is a parking lot that could accommodate an oversized vehicle if the empty spaces are available, bit no dedicated parking area for large vehicles.

Reviewed By MaeH4 - San Antonio, United States

If you're a fan, love her music, maybe like the movie JLo did, then you must visit this spot. Its a beautiful statue, for a beautiful girl, who lived fully. Not super crowed on a Sunday Morning. Take a stroll to the statue and then walk around the promenade.
