Oh it’s underwhelming as hell. It might as well be called Restaurant and an “Aquarium” cause it’s just as much a restaurant as it is an Aquarium. The highlight of the thing is the random White Tiger at the end. Like how the hell is a Tiger apart of sea life? Lol

The zoo is at Hermann park and the aquarium is in downtown.

Here is an article with pictures that show the massive GA Aquarium that is currently happening.

The High in Atlanta has also been refining and improving its collection over the years. In 2019, it received such an impressive donation of paintings that it even made the New York Times (paywall).

Seems weird for a coastal city to not have a great aquarium...even more so for an inland city not built directly on a body of water like Atlanta to have a better one.

Galveston's Moody Gardens has a decent aquarium. Not aquarium in Texas is comparable to Atlanta. You can see whale sharks there and catch a dolphin show.

Anyway, I've already said I like all 3 cities including Dallas but I like Houston a better than Dallas. None of my people care about a Dallas or Houston rivalry. How old are you again man? Your embarrassing DISD. LOL

Thanks for giving me that much power....Dallas was thick at TSU...I ran it..me and my Dallas clique......I grew up though....Houston is fun if you have no plans for structured life(totally subjective).
When I visit now its obvious that the love for Houston left me when I left it.(meaning What thrilled me thrilled me at 18 ,19 and 20 yrs old)

Please dont let lil ole me stop you from living your best life.....Dallas is a great city and you know it is.

If you just do whats best for you and your wife and quit focusing on proving Houston is better than Dallas...you'll grow to appreciate what Dallas offers with an open mind.

I'm old enough to know what I want and Like ...I would never let a forum pick where I move.

And yet plenty of people live structured lives in Houston. One of my close fraternity brothers and his wife live in Houston and they just welcomed their first child into the world and are doing quite well. I plan to visit soon and get an up-close look at their messy, unstructured lives.

Why is it that you are unable to mentally separate your experience at TSU with the city of Houston? It's just so bizarre from where I'm sitting.

But here you are participating regularly on a forum designed for that very purpose and contributing to a thread where someone is looking for relocation advice.

Go re-read my post....Read whats in Parentheses.

Actually TSU is Used against me...just like it was in this thread(meaning I never bring it up).I just respond accordingly.

If a person is seriously looking for a place to move why would you add a city that you already think is inferior to where you currently live....I'll wait.
