Kemah Boardwalk-what did you think of this?

[lilmsonry]

We are traveling to Galveston 3 days pre-cruise. Can you tell me what you thought about Kemah Boardwalk? We are a family of 5. Is it worth the stop? Should we pass by and go on to better things? Thanks, can't wait!:)

Hi. My sister lives in Galveston, and we've gone to the Kemah Boardwalk several times. It's a lovely area with lots of great little shops and some wonderful restaurants/cafes.:)

When we visit relatives in texas we always go to Kemah!

Nice food , interesting shops and just a nice place to relax for a few hours.

Tillman Fertitta (Landry's Seafood) bought all the restaurants and has really developed it. There are rides for the kids, a large selection of foods, and boat watching, as it is the entrance to Clear Lake, a huge marina area. The NASA visitor's center is also nearby.

When in Galveston, Moody Gardens is a world class attraction, also the Elissa and the Texas Seaport Museum.

Been off line for awhile. Just saw this post. We have enjoyed the boardwalk several times. The boys did rock climbing. A couple of times we have seen a band in the center with entertainers (magicians, etc) around. The center part has a water system that squirts water and the kids love to run through it. I'm not sure if it's hooked up to the music or not. I liked the roller coaster myself. And since I know you are on a budget... simply make your way into the Aquarium restaurant to look around upstairs. Must do! The walls to ceilings are aquariums with beautiful fish. If I'm not mistaken they even have a small shark.
