Do the peas have any recommendations for fun things to do in Galveston?
I have young kids (ages 7 and under).

Visit the Strand and go to La King's confectionery linkAlso, Moody Gardens is fun link
If you have time, stop by the Kemah Boardwalk on the way down link They have an amusement park and restaurants next to the marina. You can watch boats come in and out. It's a cute, fun place.  Have fun! |

I agree with all the things Kikipea said. We did all those things when we went a few years ago. Fun!

Dolphin watching tours depart from near where the tall ship Elissa is docked.

There's also the Railroad Museum at the end of the Strand. You can also take a horse-drawn carriage ride.
The Pleasure Pier is on the Seawall but it will be pretty pricy.
You can ride the ferry from the east end of the island over to Bolivar and back - that's free!
I wish I could think of more things, but my kids are grown and we usually go down there to East Beach because alcohol is allowed. That doesn't mean it's not family-friendly though - we met a really sweet couple with their toddler the last time there a couple of weeks ago (we also met the college boys nearby and schooled them in the art of beer bong LOL).

We're going to stay at a beach house that's further up the coast (not in Galveston) from Monday-Friday. Friday morning I thought we might take the ferry across to Galveston and do something there for a few hours on the way home. |
