The mission of the Texas State Aquarium is to connect people with nature and inspire conservation of the Gulf of Mexico.

We provide educationally enriching, entertaining programming to a diverse audience, while developing entertaining interactive exhibits that engage and inspire. We also promote and practice environmental conservation and wildlife rehabilitation. Connecting families with animals in an entertaining and informative venue, creating experiences that will empower our children to become advocates for wild animals and wise stewards for wild places; this is why the Texas State Aquarium exists.
