A boardwalk amusement park on Galveston Bay: entry is free, the carousel, the little train that circles the grounds and the Ferris wheel are pay-per-ride, and from the docks you can watch yachts come and go and schools of fish waiting to be fed. Rows of restaurants all face the water. Houston families' little Santa Monica.

💡 Tips

An all-day ride pass is about $25–30 (check the website); if you only want two or three rides, buy single tickets. The boardwalk gets very hot in summer, so fall, winter and spring evenings are best. Restaurants have long waits on weekend nights, so eat early.
