About the Zoo & Wildlife

Moody Gardens, established in 1986 by The Moody Foundation, is a non-profit attraction in Galveston, Texas. Moody Gardens features three main pyramid attractions: the Aquarium Pyramid, the Rainforest Pyramid, and the Discovery Pyramid. Palm Beach, a seasonal summer attraction, features white sand imported from Florida and many common water-park activities. In 2004, the site opened its expanded facilities which offer roughly 60,000 square feet of space for exhibition and business purposes. The owners commissioned a landscape design from Geoffrey Jellicoe. It is described in Gardens of the Mind: the Genius of Geoffrey Jellicoe by Michael Spens (Antique Collectors Club, 1992).
