The ride was a short but very memorable experience. There were other boats on the waterway and a very lovely scenery all round.
My wife and I showed up by 12:15pm and the Boat took off by 1:00pm.
I will definitely visit some other time.
It's a pretty fun time and a nice trip around the bay. Dinner cruises rotate their meals and entertainment, so it's not always the same. It is great to have the boat on the island and support Moody Gardens.
I took a group of clients here for the dinner Thanksgiving theme boat cruise since we were visiting for a client getaway trip — and it was one of the highlights of our trip. There were 17 of us and we had a blast with the DJ (because he was playing awesome music), the bar staff was so awesome and accommodating, the Thanksgiving meal was pretty tasty, and we even encored the DJ. If you decide to do this, I can’t promise you that you’ll have a conga line and a dance party — but if you happen to start any of those things, you’ll probably have the best time ever. Thanks for having us!
This is a fun 45-minute boat ride. Plenty of seating, an AC room on the lower floor with concessions. The reason I give 3 starts is because the price of a regular water bottle is $5. Unfortunately the gift ship was closed when we went. There's not much to do other than sit and take in the view which is great! But boring for little ones. We did spot a lovely dolphin ❤️
Delicious food, outstanding staff, full service bar, great music during the entire dinner cruise and a spectacular sunset. We are booking out next dinner cruise!
The two stars is for the food; did the Colonel's BBQ Buffett and the food was just mediocre at best, dry and bland. I will say the beans were pretty decent. I could (and did) go to Fogo De Chao and get food that was 10 times better for less then what it cost for this excursion (and you're not even guaranteed a private table on the boat unless you drop a lot more).
The boat ride itself was entertaining and I give it 4 stars, however with it being a nighttime excursion the gift shop was closed which was disappointing and a missed opportunity by Moody Gardens.
Visited Moody Gardens today and bought the $75 Value Pass to see everything. While the Rainforest Pyramid and the Aquarium Pyramid were AMAZING, the Paddlewheel Boat ride was underwhelming at best. We expected some announcements, or someone telling us what we'd be seeing, or literally ANY interaction with the crew. No crew was visible, unless you count the people selling concessions or trinkets in the gift shop. Five dollars for a bottle of water? No thanks. The boat ride was slow and relaxing, but definitely would not ride it again.
This was the best part of our adventure at Moody Gardens! Those Margaritas were amazing! The paddle boat tour was approx 45 mins long and so relaxing!
