Following many years of "active duty," the WWII-era USS Lexington "retired" to Corpus Christi. This massive aircraft carrier now serves as a floating museum, complete with a theater, flight simulator, cafe and more. Additionally, the Lexington offers a variety of educational programs, including summer camps and overnight stays!
4. Get a Bite by the Bay

Landry's is well known for excellent seafood. And, each of their locations has a unique flair. This is certainly true of Landry's Corpus Christi location. Set on a remodeled passenger barge docked at the Corpus Christi Marina, Landry's Seafood House gives an entirely new meaning to waterfront dining.
5. Stroll Around the Marina

The Corpus Christi Marina houses a large number of sailboats and recreational watercraft. Taking a stroll along one of the Marina's three t-head piers makes for a pleasant diversion - not to mention grabbing a bite to eat at one of the fine restaurants at the end of the piers. There are also vendors available to rent paddle boats, kayaks, jet skiis and other watercraft.
