• Downtown Aquarium
  The Downtown Aquarium in Houston, Texas is both a public aquarium and restaurant that has been created from a historic landmark, the Fire Station No. 1 and the Central Waterworks building, sitting on six acres, containing more than 200 species of aquatic creatures in half a million gallon tanks of aquaria, that includes a bar, banquet facilities and two restaurants. It is owned by Landry's Restaurants, Inc. and is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). The city sent out a request for proposals to redevelop the Fire Station No. 1 and the nearby Central Waterworks plant, getting some good response, but in mid 2000, the Landry plan was accepted that would make the waterworks site home to a sharks only display tank and the main restaurant would be located on the second floor of the former firehouse, and it would stay the way it was while they renovated the first floor; opening the aquarium in 2003. The Aquarium Adventure Exhibit would be in the main building with five themed areas, as well as the tiger habitat and other fun interactive exhibits. The Louisiana Swamp display is where animals from the marshy areas and bayous of the Gulf Coast live, that includes bullfrogs, catfish, alligators, crayfish, alligator snapping turtles and spotted gar. The marvelous White Tiger of the Maharaja Temple contains the white tigers, which it quite unusual for an aquarium, and the shipwreck offers visitors the opportunity to go inside a sunken hull of a 17th century Spanish galleon, where they will be able to look around and see, star fish, living coral reefs, giant Pacific octopus, garibaldi, moray eel, clownfish, grouper, snapper and tangs.

The museum welcomes over 2 million visitors each year and consists of a museum complex that contains a central gallery with four floors of natural science halls and exhibits; the Wortham IMAX theater, the Burke Baker Planetarium and the Cockrell Butterfly Center. Their success is centered around the special and changing exhibits that are brought here for the community's enjoyment and knowledge. The original museum was called the Houston Museum and Scientific Society, Inc. and began in 1909, located in the city's auditorium building downtown, and then moved to another location in the Houston Zoo in 1929. Their most significant relics were obtained between 1914 and 1930, with the large educational programs beginning in 1947. The present building was constructed in 1969, and in 1988, the Challenger Center opened to honor the space mission and the heroes that gave their lives for the continuation and improvements of the space program.
