New riverfront event pavilion open!

Maybe it’s the reclaimed rustic oak beams or the salvaged metal roof, which hint at age, history and romantic timelessness. Or it could also be the touches of iron-accented Edison lights, or the huge trees adorned with thousands of fairy lights. Whatever it is there’s something undeniably irresistible about the aquarium's newest event space, the Pavilion.

The defining feature of the space is undoubtedly the superb panoramic view of the Red River and bridges. The views of the river and the Texas Street Bridge at night will create the most stunning backdrop and once the city completes the programmable LED lighting on the bridge and the new light shows that will debut each month, this is the ideal spot to take it all in.
