Dollar Day at Texas Aquarium

Thousands of people lined up to enter Texas Aquarium on $1 day.

Dollar day was a day well-spent at the Texas Aquarium on the west side of Corpus Christi Bay. The unversity has a campus on the west side, the USS Lexington is docked there, and the Texas Aquarium rounds out the area attractions. We needed the whole day at the aquarium so will have to make a second visit to tour the Lexington a/c carrier.
The aquarium is quite large and has a lot of hands-on displays that are particularly geared to school children. Of course, it's pretty neat for adults as well. As you might expect, and can see from the photo, the crowd was quite massive. After all, only a dollar for admission is quite a bargain.
