Houston City Bus Tour + Downtown Aquarium Entry Ticket
This combined Houston tour gives you the best of both worlds: a guided bus tour showcasing the city's landmarks and full access to Downtown Aquarium's marine exhibits and rides. You'll start with a 90-minute city tour covering Houston's most significant sights, from Discovery Green park to the art deco City Hall, before spending the rest of your day exploring over 200 species of marine life.
The tour begins at a cowboy-themed visitors centre where you can browse Texas heritage artifacts before boarding your comfortable coach. Your guide shares stories about Houston's history as you drive past Minute Maid Park, Houston's Graffiti Park, and the revitalised Old Union Square district. The route includes Hermann Square and several architectural highlights that showcase both Houston's past and present.
After the bus tour, your ticket provides all-day access to Downtown Aquarium's half-million-gallon aquatic environments. The facility houses marine creatures in themed habitats including rainforests and shipwreck displays, plus family-friendly rides that complement the educational exhibits.
