    The Lighthouse District is Kemah's hidden gem! Free red stamped parking throughout the District & a trolley shuttle service during high traffic weekends! Local shops, restaurants & more!

    You can't come to South Texas and not go to Kemah. It's got all the right things. Great rides. Great prices. Great hotels. Great food. Perfect for friends and family or cute dates. Literally the best.

    Just 20 miles from downtown Houston, The Kemah Boardwalk is the perfect family getaway. Aquarium Restaurant serves guests a great view of our 50,000 gallon aquarium brimming with marine life.

    Choose Kemah Boardwalk instead of Houston Zoo in Houston CityPass. This is a perfect place for groups & family. Don't forget to stroll around shores of Galveston Bay and Clear Lake. Ride all you can.

    Lots of fun, especially for the kids. Avoid the weekends. Checkout the shops off the beaten path. For great crawfish, crabs & local fare at reasonable prices, visit The Swamp Shack and nearby joints.

    The perfect place to meander around on summer day. There are plenty of amazing restaurants and shops along the boardwalk with live bands every week.

    Always a great place to spend the afternoon. Be sure to wear sunscreen if you burn easily! Bubba Gump's and Landry's are both very good places to eat as well

    The people watching is sad, and you may catch a glimpse of the occasional puke splat. The perfect place for an existential crisis.

    This place was mediocre at best. The term Boardwalk in this case is a stretch. It is not an actual boardwalk. It is more like a marketplce but with an amusement park. A small amusement park.

    I really miss this place, I remember that I was there while Houston was freezing, that didn't stop me from getting in to the coasters several times.

    Don't take pictures of the guy running the Farris wheel if you have a camera and playing with speed settings. You will get kicked off the ride.

    Don't wear jewelry on the rides because if it falls off the employees can't go and get it under the ride.

    They always charged for parking in the lots on the weekends. It's about $6-7 depending on which lot you choose.

    The shopping options are hokey tourist traps, but the frequent festivals and special events make it a fun outdoor option.
