Set on Corpus Christi Bay--dotted with sailboats, yachts and excursion boats--the city is also the gateway to Mustang Island and Padre Island National Seashore. At the Texas State Aquarium you can watch sharks, sea turtles, river otters, and roseate spoonbills. Kids reach into pools to pet sharks and stingrays, hold starfish, operate underwater robotic arms, and touch computer screens to learn about sea life. Next to the Aquarium, the U.S.S. Lexington is a floating naval museum. Other notable sights are the Bayfront Arts and Science Park, the Museum of Oriental Culture, and the Art Museum of South Texas. The Museum of Science and History has an excellent display of artifacts from a Spanish galleon wrecked off the Texas coast. Corpus Christi Greyhound Race Track has races year-round.
