Houston PressJuly 2, 2013The 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!
HISTORYApril 6, 2010Just 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.
Tanya ChaudhryMarch 28, 2015You 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.
- JoelOctober 27, 2013Choose 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.
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
Veronica VillegasAugust 24, 2014Went on a Saturday night in late august and although it was very stuffy, it was fun! I enjoyed the wooden roller coster very much it goes very fast.
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013The perfect place to meander around on summer day. There are plenty of amazing restaurants and shops along the boardwalk with live bands every week.
The YinkMay 27, 2019The people watching is sad, and you may catch a glimpse of the occasional puke splat. The perfect place for an existential crisis.
Daniel Di CristoforoAugust 29, 2022I love kemah boardwalk this is my favorite place, I love the restaurants
So fun!!! Tons of great food (as well as traditional fair food), fun rides, music, and a beautiful view
Morgan GrebensJuly 17, 2018This 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.
Electricity BidDecember 5, 2011Go to the hibachi restaurant for a great seaside experience for dinner and be sure to visit the sting ray aquarium.
Marlene MorganAugust 19, 2016WOW. So much to do here including riding a Yacht for $20 & Speed Boat $20. Great rides and tons of places to eat.
Anya KhmeliovaOctober 13, 2014Nice broadwalk along the shore with amusement park and choice of restaurants by the water.
Berenice FerreroOctober 3, 2014Loved it... lots of rides, lots of fun, with a great view to the ocean. Only 30 minutes from downtown houston.
Cenker KöseOctober 28, 2018Nice and cute neighborhood but can finish walking in 4 minutes if you don’t watch any boat :)
Navid Jubaer (Ayon)June 6, 2014Definitely a fun place. But we missed everything as we went there on sunday night around 9 PM.
Gerzy YOctober 10, 2012Love at first sight! Love this place!!! Enjoyed my birthday waterfront dinner at The Flying Dutchman!

Lacresha CottrellJuly 24, 2016Nice boardwalk, great atmosphere, nice shopping and restaurants, very picturesque.
ELS Language CentersApril 13, 20129 miles from ELS - rides & games, great restaurants, Boardwalk Beast Boat, and ghost tours. www.KemahBoardWalk.com- They always charged for parking in the lots on the weekends. It's about $6-7 depending on which lot you choose.
Kairy WalkerApril 22, 2014You MUST eat the fudge right near here! Grest views. Perfect weekend oasis!
Elizabeth LovejoyJune 7, 2013Don't wear jewelry on the rides because if it falls off the employees can't go and get it under the ride.
Denise SotoMarch 24, 2015This was mine and Donnie's favorite place to be. we loved taking an evening stroll on the boardwalk.
Billy WilliamsJanuary 31, 2015Great seasonal deals..Nightlife is cool..great for kids..overall rating 9
Marco HinojosaJuly 13, 2013Fun for the whole family. Little wait for the ferry, coming and going. Fireworks on Friday nights during the summer.
Daniel CortésMay 27, 2017I 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.
- Tanya PApril 20, 20142 days and 1 night is plenty of time. The Boardwalk Inn is a great place to stay for 1 night.
- CultureMap Houston ManagerMarch 27, 2012The shopping options are hokey tourist traps, but the frequent festivals and special events make it a fun outdoor option.
- Penny HeadleyJuly 2, 2012Had fun on the rides. Great place to take the kids. All day ride prices are reasonable.
- Kylie MillerSeptember 7, 2015DO NOT stay at the hotel on the boardwalk. Loud music plays till 2:00 in the morning. If you have to stay overnight, stay at one of the hotels around the boardwalk.
Jenn WSeptember 11, 2010EXTREMELY crowded on the weekends & during the summer. If you are able to go during the week, you'll have a much better experience!

MasonIce.com May 25, 2013Don'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.
