Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa & Convention Center

Moody Gardens, consisting of Aquarium, Rainforest and Discovery pyramids, is an educational attraction focusing on nature.

Rainforest Pyramid: Moody Garden's $25 million Rainforest Pyramid enhancement project opened in May 2011. This expansive recreation of Rainforests of the World provides guests with a unique two-level experience on the ground level and in the canopy of the trees.

More than 2,000 exotic plants and animals now call the 10-story Rainforest Pyramid home, including free-roaming saki monkeys, sloths, birds and cotton-top tamarins. Other exhibits include: fruit bats, giant river otters, endangered Chinese alligators and other species

Along the all-new canopy trail, guests get a bird's eye view of the rainforest, where they can spot rare birds, two-toed sloths and other species that live in the forest canopy.
