Water & Amusement Parks
Amusement park
Theme Parks
Kemah Boardwalk is a family-friendly amusement park featuring classic rides such as a wooden roller coaster and a two-story carousel. Located near Kemah Boardwalk Marina, visitors can capture picturesque scenes of various vessels, from yachts to fishing boats. The boardwalk comes alive at night with vibrant lights and thrilling attractions like roller coasters and Ferris wheels, making it an ideal setting for photography enthusiasts to experiment with low-light or long-exposure shots.
Wonderful Octoberfest with kids and families showing up around 2. It was much less crowded around 12. The $28 dollar wrist band is great if you are just riding. Not all of our party rode rides, so it is very nice not having to buy a full ticket price. Offers a lot of games, etc. love being able to sit next to the canal and watching the boats drive by before they enter the bay. There are lots of seats, but do wish they had more in the shade. Several great restaurants with a few snack food trucks on the boardwalk.

This amusement park is beautifully designed and located right by the sea, which gives it a unique and relaxing atmosphere. The whole park has a strong Spanish character, which adds to its charm and authenticity. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, offering a variety of food options — and many with great views. The rides and attractions are a lot of fun, well-maintained, and offer something for all ages. Whether you’re into adrenaline-pumping roller coasters or more relaxed experiences, there’s something here for everyone. Prices are relatively affordable, especially considering the quality and variety the park offers. All in all, a fantastic day out — fun, scenic, and very Spanish in the best way!

Great place to spend a day with the family or a date. Lots of fun things to do and you can even get a tour in a boat 😵‍💫. They have a nice Hotel there you can stay and different restaurants with all kinds of food. The parking ticket is 15 dollars and the whole day pass was like 30 which is the best option. The roller coaster is insane 🤣 so much fun.

Kemah Boardwalk is one of the most vibrant and fun destinations along the Texas Gulf Coast. It perfectly blends great food, family entertainment, and a relaxing seaside vibe. The boardwalk is beautifully set by the water, offering stunning views, cool sea breezes, and plenty of spots to unwind or snap photos. There’s something for everyone here from thrilling rides and arcade games to waterfront dining and live music. The restaurants, especially the seafood spots, serve fresh and flavorful meals, and the overall atmosphere is always lively and welcoming. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or as a couple, Kemah Boardwalk guarantees a memorable experience filled with energy, laughter, and beautiful coastal charm. A must visit place for both locals and tourists looking for fun, good food, and a true Texas waterfront experience

Kemah boardwalk is so exciting and magical. So many rides to go on. the restaurants are fabulous. we've eaten at all of them. Beast os such a high energy speed boat ride. We have to spend alone full day there everytime we go on vacation !

While it looked like it could have been super fun back in the day there was basically nothing open and it was basically dead. We were there at about 3pm on a Friday and was surprised at everything being closed up. Stopped into the aquarium for a quick bite and it was good but otherwise disappointed.
Brittany M — Google review
Our 1st time here, personally I was quite excited. The weather afforded us cool breezes, we arrived 11:45ish for scheduled noon opening and after walking around, having lunch the rides were just opening. When we left at 1:30 there was only one shop open. Totally disappointed! Don't know if this happens on a regular basis but I don't think we'll be driving an hour for this.

Kemah Boardwalk is a perfect family-friendly destination packed with fun and entertainment for all ages! From live music to exciting acrobatic shows, there’s always something happening. Enjoy one of the best dining experiences by the beach, with plenty of restaurants to choose from. Kids will love the carnival rides, splash pad during the summer, and the charming train that circles the boardwalk and even passes through some restaurants. Parking is paid, and weekends tend to get busy—so plan ahead!

Aquarium
The Aquarium Restaurant is a large seafood and steak restaurant known for its unique decor featuring a massive 50,000-gallon aquarium filled with tropical sea creatures like fish, sharks, and stingrays. It's a must-visit for families with kids who will be captivated by the vibrant underwater ambiance and interactive displays. Located at Kemah Boardwalk in Texas, this restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience with delectable seafood dishes and mouthwatering grilled options.
We had a great experience at the Aquarium Restaurant. We ordered the fish tacos, which were absolutely delicious, and also tried the sampler, which was really tasty and well-prepared. The flavors were fresh, and the portions were generous. The service was outstanding — Markus, our server, was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. He made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. The only minor issue was at the front desk, where we waited a little longer than expected to be seated. But once we were at our table, everything went perfectly and was absolutely worth the wait. Highly recommend this spot for both the food and the unique atmosphere.
Christian C — Google review
Our son saw this restaurant on the train ride and we had to stop by. The atmosphere is great, exactly what you would expect from a restaurant with an aquarium built in. There were a few small tanks and one large one with many different types of sea creatures. The food was delicious. I had the "taste of new Orleans" including shrimp, sausage, cat fish, and fried gator. My friend ordered Parmesan chicken and shrimp and my wife had Louisiana Cajun pasta. The experience was really enjoyable and our server had a great sense of humor on a slower day. Definitely recommend stopping here.

If there were an award for “Best Waiter with a Mustache,” Rob would win it every time. Not only does his mustache look like it could star in its own 1970s detective show, but his service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. Rob greeted us with a warm smile (and an even warmer mustache), knew the menu inside and out, and made spot-on recommendations. Drinks never went empty, food came out perfectly timed, and he somehow anticipated what we needed before we even asked. It’s rare to find a server who makes you feel like both an honored guest and an old friend, but Rob pulled it off effortlessly. The mustache was the conversation starter; the excellent service was what made the night unforgettable. Rob, if you’re reading this—never shave. The world needs both you and that glorious mustache.

My 3-year-old grandson and I came here for lunch, and it was his first time. The entire experience was fabulous, and our server, Angelica was absolutely amazing! she was very attentive, made sure all of our needs, and did everything possible to make sure my grandson and I enjoyed our experience here. We will definitely be back for another G-ma & Jax day!

Rob, our waiter, was the real catch of the day! 🐠 He went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. It was my daughter’s birthday, and the restaurant made her feel like the star of the ocean by accommodating her wish to sit right in front of the aquarium. The famous “shark attack” dessert was fin-tastic 🦈 The food was absolutely on point from the first bite to the last. We’ll definitely be swimming back for more!

What a cool place to eat!!!! The restaurant is a giant fish tank- it reminds me of the ATL aquarium but with food. The views of gigantic pretty fish floating by as you eat is so cool and outside, yachts are passing by through the channel. There’s so much to look at, impossible to be bored. Jen was an awesome waitress and took wonderful care of us. Also shout out to the host that held our table even though we were running 10 minutes behind scheduled reservation. I had the sirloin - excellent size, temp and sides yummy veggies and smooth garlic potatoes. The fish and shrimp plate was yummy too - great sauce and plenty to eat- I see why they put it on the front of the menu. Finally, we did the shark fin chocolate lava cake and it did not disappoint. It was so good, we got a second one. Very unique place, super different without being weird. It’s also inside the Kemah boardwalk area if you want to make a whole day adventure out of it. Oh yeah, the Manga-Rita was 😋

American restaurant
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is a globally recognized seafood and American restaurant with a charming fishing boat-themed setting. Inspired by the movie Forrest Gump, this family-friendly chain offers much more than just shrimp, featuring hand-shaken margaritas, BBQ, and an array of seafood dishes. Located on the Kemah Boardwalk with stunning harbor views, it's known for its phenomenal service and hearty portions.
I had a great experience at Bubba Gump Shrimp! The atmosphere is fun and full of character—just like the movie. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the food came out fast and fresh. I highly recommend the Shrimp New Orleans and the Coconut Shrimp—both were flavorful and cooked perfectly. The Forrest Gump trivia from the waitstaff added a unique and entertaining touch. Whether you’re a fan of the movie or just love good seafood, Bubba Gump is definitely worth a visit!

Had a good experience here this past Saturday! We came at 12:30pm for lunch and sat on the covered patio next to the water. Our waitress (Melissa I think) was great; very kind, attentive, and fun too. The seafood meals were tasty and the chicken sandwich was pretty good too; I just wish the fries it came with were better (less mushy) and came with a dipping sauce (like the aioli on the burger, which was great). The atmosphere was wonderful and I appreciated that they had a gift shop, since the main reason we came to Kemah this weekend was for this restaurant.

Was really looking forward to our shrimp especially the shrimp tempura but it was undercooked. It wasn’t raw, but the batter was soft and chewy, almost white, not cooked golden and crisp as usual. The coconut shrimp was good, the fries were old and cold. Our server Jade was sweet and took care of us.

Seafood restaurant
Crazy Alan's Swamp Shack is a lively Cajun-style seafood restaurant located just a short walk from the Kemah Boardwalk. The upbeat atmosphere features live music and a rooftop deck, making it an ideal spot to enjoy delicious year-round crawfish and an extensive menu that includes meat plates with a unique Cajun twist. From burgers with chopped crawfish to the indulgent Shrimp & Oyster Diablo, the dishes are known for their generous portions and bold flavors.
I ordered the shrimp with potatoes. They were skimpy with the potatoes. Drinks were very good. I didn't have the crayfish but my cohorts did, they said they were good but all small ones. Atmosphere is great, great live music. We ordered a starter & didn't get it until way after we got our food because the server forgot.

Tonight was our first visit, and we left already planning our return. Vincent was hands down the best server we've had in a long time—attentive, friendly, and just made the whole experience even better. The food? Incredible. We got 5 lbs of fresh crawfish for $34.99, which is an absolute steal these days. My youngest had the shrimp alfredo, and honestly, it's a must-try—so creamy and flavorful! Only downside: it was hot upstairs. 🔥🥵 We skipped the patio because it was loud and just as warm. Not really anyone’s fault—it’s just that kind of weather—but thankfully, Vincent kept our drinks full and made it manageable. All in all, it was a fantastic experience. Any time we’re in town, this place is a must-stop!

Stopped in at Crazy Alan’s Swamp Shack in Kemah and left full, happy, and impressed. I had the gumbo along with fried shrimp and catfish — all of it hit the mark. The gumbo was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice and that deep, slow-cooked roux taste you hope for. The fried shrimp and catfish were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside — perfectly seasoned and cooked right. You can tell they don’t cut corners in the kitchen. Service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere fits the name — lively, local, and full of personality. If you’re craving Gulf Coast seafood done right, this is the spot. I’ll be back.

Dined here for Sunday lunch. Boudain stuffed shrimp for appetizer, trout medallion with spinach, and garlic taters and seafood enchiladas for entrees. Drinks ordered were Bull Frog Hawaiian and Swamp juice. Waiter Jacob was awesome. Chef forgot appetizer, so we received entrees first. The appetizer was hot, fresh and delicious. Trout was stuffed with rice and crawfish tails. I didn't care for mushrooms in the sauce. Spinach was delicious with bacon. Drink was good but could've been stronger. Will return to try other items.

Mexican restaurant
Cadillac Bar is a vibrant dining destination that showcases an extensive menu of traditional Mexican cuisine, all set in a lively atmosphere. Located near the boardwalk, it offers a delightful experience for both locals and visitors alike. During my recent visit on a weekday lunchtime, I found the place surprisingly quiet but still enjoyed the same quality as its Rice Military counterpart. The spicy shredded chicken enchiladas were highly recommended and did not disappoint; their flavors were truly exceptional.
Visited Cadillac during Happy Hour! The Cadillac Margarita was not part of the Happy Hour but well worth it's price Then switch to the specials $3.00 Margaritas, beers and wells. We ordered the chicken quesadilla and the crispy tacquitos fresh and tasty. Service was very friendly and attentive. This area is also a place of enjoyment for the whole family being at the pleasure pier.
Silvia C — Google review
Was down in the area for work. This place was dead at lunchtime on a weekday (probably expected). I was the only person there, but it was as good as the Cadillac Bar over in Rice Military. Didn't use the bathroom and for parking you need to use the main Kemah parking area. The spicy shredded chicken enchiladas were recommended and the flavors lived up to the expectations. The impossible cake (chocolate cake with flan on top) was the star, though. 10/10 would eat by myself again.

Serves chips & salsa (green & red) I had the Cadillac Punch mixed drink $9 it was fruity & good! I had the flautas, larger than I thought. Really fried good, chicken. I had them put all the toppings on the side-instead of on them was $14. He had the Tacos Al Carbon -comes with 2 & good sz. $17. Booths are nice.

Went there with my wife and kids for my birthday. This is the first time in our lives that we walked out of a place after being seated for 30 minutes. It was not at all busy. After 20 minutes of no one coming by, a table next to us was seated and the server immediately took there drink orders. The table on the other side was there before us and based on their comments, they hadn't had a server by yet either. When I saw the other table getting their drink orders taken, I went back to the front and waited for someone to acknowledge me. Finally a lady came by to ask what I needed and I explained to her that we had been there over 20 minutes without a single person coming by. She said she would send someone right away. Another 10 minutes... no one. We got up and left. I don't know if our server had a death in the family, or they were out hitting the crack pipe. But none of the other staff even bothered or had a clue about what was going on. If I owned that place, I'd fire the entire staff.

We came for appetizers and some drinks while on the boardwalk and the majority of the food was great. The crab & shrimp dip is a must get, and the oysters were PERFECT.

Sorry for the late review. We had reservations at Joe’s crab shack Kemah Boardwalk for the annual Christmas boat parade. Quite a number of vessels, all covered with beautiful Christmas lights. The food was absolutely fantastic. Quite typical with Joe’s and any Landry‘s operation. Vegetables and sides served fresh and steamed. Seafood was fantastic atmosphere.

The Pizza Oven, located at 215 Kipp Ave, Boardwalk #10, Kemah, TX 77565, is a popular spot on the boardwalk offering a variety of stone-oven thin-crust pizzas, sandwiches, salads, beer and wine. It's a go-to place for both children and adults looking for delicious food while enjoying the oceanfront. The menu includes freshly baked thin-crust pizzas from a stone hearth oven along with an assortment of salads and sandwiches.
This is the cutest little pizza place on the boardwalk! Nice and cool inside and fast service! Kid friendly as it’s connected to a game room.

First let me say I’ve always liked Pizza Oven, but it’s not the same anymore. I do not like making not so great reviews, but it’s appropriate. This isn’t the first time this has happened. I ordered the Margarita & a Pepperoni. We get home & this is the Margarita. For the price & presentation this is very unacceptable. Disappointed as I was, I phoned the Pizza Oven. I was told I could come get a cup of basil ? I found that also unacceptable, & just requested a refund for that Pizza. She opened the box, didn’t say a word handed me back a receipt without telling me anything & I had to ask- She says the highlighted $17 will be refunded, tossed the pizza in the trash and walked away. You shouldn’t get this kind of service especially from someone who probably didn’t even make the pizza. After spending almost $40 on pizza, we come home to a cold pizza to share.

The pizza is mid but quick and will cure hunger. The pizzas are all around $14.99 w a pretty extensive selection. There’s also pasta and salad. It’s located next to an arcade. The indoor AC is great! You can also sit on the patio and listen to the stage performances. I would not recommend the scampi pizza.

Greasy pizza but good selection of toppings and design! The restaurant did not have kitchen to table service, with an order pick up system. The menu had a good selection of pizzas along with a build your own topping selection, and after 10-15 minutes our vegetarian deluxe pizza came. While the flavors were good, it was VERY greasy, the same for the other pizza we ordered. On the other hand, the space themed arcade, seating, and tvs were nice, adding to the NASA-themed atmosphere of the area.

Pizza was fresh, the kids enjoyed the arcade while adults visited in the nice air conditioned restaurant before heading out to enjoy the rides. The party package is such a great deal. I feel like it’s a hidden gem. Thanks Ravae for making our celebration special 🙏🏽

It is a nice place specially during pandemic, this is the one of the available place to eat. They serve fast for example 5 pizzas around 20 minutes and less. For family with children, there is a fun place with lots of games right next to it and 2 restroom one for store one for general. There is also another eating place which is enough distance for Overall prices are okay for that location. You can give a chance to see it.

Fine dining restaurant
Eculent is a captivating dining destination that promises an extraordinary multi-sensory experience, blending technology, art, and innovative cuisine into a prix-fixe format. Nestled just three blocks from the confluence of Trinity Bay and Galveston Bay, this restaurant has gained acclaim for its avant-garde dishes crafted by the imaginative David Skinner. His culinary approach transforms each meal into an adventure with numerous courses that often feature single yet unforgettable bites.
Thoroughly impressed! The most unique dining experience I have ever had. We went for my husband’s birthday and had a wonderful time. The food is epic, indescribable, amazing, we can’t wait to go back! Chef and his staff were friendly, delivered top notch service, and described each dish and wine pairing perfectly. Really one of the coolest things we have done!

The presentation of the food was appealing. However I’m not impressed with the flavor of most dishes. The ingredients and taste are too mundane for the price. More importantly, the whole experience took waaayyy too long - more than 10min interval between each dish and more than 5hrs in total? And the dishes did not contain enough protein - most were soups and sweet stuff that only make you more hungry during the 5hrs. I understand that this is more of an experience but at least you should feed people enough meat and that’s like the basic of a good meal. The room was cramped and people were sitting shoulder to shoulder. The guy behind me was loud and shouting the whole time. Would not recommend if you think “well this is expensive so the food must taste amazing.” No it does not. May be ok for social but any bar with a fraction of the cost can do equally well. A huge waste of time.

First time for our dining experience at this five-star establishment. David Skinner has done a remarkable job of weeding in multiple cuisines, cocktails, wines, desserts etc. We came in for the multi-course dining experience and it was absolutely incredible. We will be back to the other restaurants on-site. Keep in mind he has his own winery and distillery on site. David and his team take you through the kitchen, through all of this story of historical prominence of the dishes he prepares. A true gentleman, scholar and awesome chef!

We had the great opportunity to enjoy a meal at Eculent after having it on the bucket list for several years. This meal will make you think about the importance and weight that can be infused into ONE bite. The creativity and care that is taken from the food to the atmosphere and service are superb. Where the chef has taken inspiration from makes it approachable but flips it on its head. There are so many beautiful examples I could give, but I would hate to give away any of the wonderful surprises that await you! It is a must-do in your lifetime. Cannot wait to go back and to also check out their sister restaurant, the_prsv.

Eculent is a culinary experience like no other. The intimate dining experience hosts only 10 couples in a single synchronous serving per night. The 30-course themed dinner, complete with lighting treatment for each course, was delicious, innovative and artistically stunning. Every detail of the experience was considered. The staff was warm and friendly from start to finish. Truly a delight.

Eculent was such a unique taste adventure with each course taking another turn in the journey to the unexpected. The wine pairings were crisp and smooth and blended well with each course. We enjoyed the chef’s take on an ingredient that we have never had prepared in that way before. We were able to experience dishes that seemed normal on a menu but when prepared by Chef Skinner’s sous chef were enhanced with a magical twist. We are excited to experience the new menu in the coming months. Hopefully Chef Skinner will be on site for our next culinary adventure.

Extremely interesting dinner. Very cool dishes but not sure I would go again. 24 bite size courses $350/head plus tip which i think is important to know before you go. Do not go if you are a picky eater this place certainly goes beyond bounds of normal eatery. Some bites are very amazing while a couple were okay, but most were above average and not to my typical taste. I enjoyed the food presented in ways I had never seen and even trying things I normally would not. Chef and staff were excellent, I don't regret it but put the cost out there so no one else is caught off guard. Oh and the lights change with every meal...all of which are horrible for selfies!
