Kemah Boardwalk Description
Take one waterside location, add some thrill rides, shake visitors, and voila: vintage-style boardwalk. The family-friendly Mecca near Galveston has only been around since 1998, but it definitely has that old-school feel, from the "click, click, click" of the wooden Bullet Coaster (opened in 2007) to the carousel, Ferris Wheel, kiddie rides, fried dough, and win-a-lovably-homely-stuffed-doll arcade games. For relaxing, there's table-service eating aplenty -- just make sure to dine after riding the Inverter, not before... assuming you still have your appetite.
Kid Tips
Pre-Teens & Teens: They'll want to ride the coaster over and over, which makes the $4-plus per ride decidedly less economical than the $18.99 all-day pass. There are limitations, however; check before purchasing.
Planning Notes
- Peak seasons. Weekends are predictably crowded. To avoid lines, weekdays (even during the busy summer season) are your best bet.
- Seasonal events. Check the website for special events around Christmas, Halloween, and other holidays.
