Discover the Mystery of the Underwater World
Aquarium Restaurants in Denver, Houston, Kemah and Nashville provide more than just a scenic dining experience. Each location is home to aquarium tanks that contain more than several thousand gallons of water and house sea life from all over the world.
The aquarium is unique not only in its choice of dining companions but also because guests can participate in immersive educational programs. Students, adults and children can all learn and explore the depths of the ocean through camps, overnights, behind-the-scenes tours and more.
