    It's for young children. I brought my granddaughters here for birthday. They had a ball. And they wasn't ready to leave. Lol.

    It was a nice place for kids to enjoy the water. It was only 7 dollars to enter. Will return again.

    I really love rollercoasters, but sometimes these wooden ones will tear you up and send you seeking…read morethe nearest chiropractor. Not only was the Boardwalk Bullet a blast and a half to ride, but my back and neck were A-OK after I got off. No problem with whiplash whatsoever! One of the smoothest wooden rollercoasters I've ever been on, in fact. If you are 100+ years old, frail, barely able to walk and such, but yet you're trying to decide whether or not you should try a ride on the Boardwalk Bullet, I assure you, you'll be fine! Just make sure to wear your Depends, though.

    This is review #1000 for me (should be #1002, but I won't go into the details of why two of them…read morewere removed, grrrr), so it had to be special. How about this: #1000, I'm the first one to write a review on it, and one of the great rollercoasters in the country. The Boardwalk Bullet opened in 2007 a few feet from Galveston Bay. It's a woodie, and it's a crazy one. I had heard that the Texas Cyclone was relocated here from Astroworld, that DID NOT happen, these are two very different coasters. From a distance, it looks like it would be a lot of fun. The reality is much greater. First, you're waiting in line, and when the train zips under you, the entire structure shakes. Second, there is a place to put your hat, purse, phone, etc.; loose articles are prohibited. If you're nervous about riding, simply step through the train and leave, although you just lost $6 by doing so. If you do sit down, you're in for a thrill. I rode near the back, but I don't think there's a lot of difference between front and back. The Bullet never slows down from the first drop to the finish. There are three big drops, and they're all gnarly. The big feature, indeed is speed: although it barely goes over 50mph, the turns are tight, the drops are sudden, and you have only a split second to prepare for anything. The Bullet packs a lot into a small space, which makes it more intense than 80mph on a 200-foot drop. Its high noise level increases the excitement level. It's like a smaller version of the Ghost Rider in California's Knott's Berry Farm: smaller, shorter, but the same out-of-control feel. Some coasters are yawners. Others have you say "hey, that was pretty good." The Boardwalk Bullet is one of those that you'll want to ride again and again and again.

    Late review, but you can use this info to compare to today's prices…read more Admission rates for May 2022: Pier Walk-On Pass (this pass allows you to experience the pier, but not the rides. Rides can be purchased separately.) - $11 (48" and above) - $9 (Under 48") - Children 2 and under, free All day ride passes are also available: - $27.99 (48" and above) - $20.99 (Under 48") - You do not have to purchase the Pier Walk-On Pass with this option, although children 2 and under will need a ticket/wristband to go on rides. A premium paid parking lot is located directly across from the pier, but we chose to hunt for parking instead. Luckily, we found free beach access parking near 33rd Street. Pleasure Pier offers waterfront fun and entertainment with rides, carnival games and souvenir shops. Fries - $5 (Fries weren't even hot! Room temperature at best) Dos Equis beer - $11 Galveston Beach isn't the prettiest. According to what I've read, there's a lot of silt/sediment from the Mississippi River that flows through the area. There is a bacteria monitoring program in place to test the waters frequently and Galveston Beach is usually safe for swimming. Galveston Beach and Pleasure Pier are best experienced in cooler weather.

    First visit for me. Went with some friends over the weekend and we bought the unlimited pass and…read morehad a fun time. There weren't that many people there when we arrived (1pm) and the lines were short. The park started getting quite a bit busier around 5:30-6pm. PROS -Almost all staff were nice and helpful. -The park is very clean and in pretty good condition overall. The restrooms were very clean when we used them. -The prices are comparable with similar places. I felt that the unlimited pass is a good deal. Food (prices) are about what I expected. Not cheap but not outrageous like it can be at some places. -The food I had there wasn't great, wasn't bad. They have hamburgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, chicken tenders etc. There are several food options close by and an easy walk to get to. Those places may be more to your liking (Bubba Shrimp, Chick Fil A etc) CONS -Two of the big rides (The roller coaster and the water ride) were closed during our entire visit, which was disappointing. I feel they should at least list on a board or tell you what isn't working when you arrive. TBH, if they told us those were not working, I would have still gone because there are other things to do. -I thought the 5D attraction was OK, but not great. The mine ride was fun, the shark attack less so. RECOMMENDATIONS -Check weather first and get there when the park opens. -Before buying your pass, ask if any rides are closed. A couple closed isn't a big deal but if 5-6 rides are closed you will want to know. -Get the unlimited day pass if you are planning on being there for more than a couple hours. -Get the unlimited refill souvenir drink cup. It pays for itself after a few refills and if you are there all day on a hot day, you will want it. It does not hold that much liquid. You can refill sodas, water or slushies. No alcohol. -If you decide to do the 5D attraction, bundle that + the park pass to get the best deal.

We had such an incredible day from start to finish. We ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., where the staff was amazing and the food was delicious. Then we took our 8- and 9-year-olds and their friends to the Aquarium for the stingray experience, which was easily one of the highlights of the day. They absolutely loved it! We also rode the boat and had a blast--the crew was so fun, energetic, and engaging. We finished the day riding all of the rides, many of them multiple times, and the kids could not have been happier. Kemah Boardwalk has been part of so many memories for our family over the years, and getting to experience it now through our kids' eyes makes it even more special. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff who helped make our day so unforgettable. We can't wait to come back!

What started out as a quiet working-class fishing village decades ago is now a massive waterfront destination packed with restaurants, midway games, and amusement rides. You can easily spend the whole day checking out the different eateries, feeding the animals at the Stingray Reef, and riding the Boardwalk Bullet wooden roller coaster. It is completely free to just walk around and soak in the lively atmosphere, making it the perfect place for a fun family day by the water.

    We went here a few months ago to celebrate my boys' birthday and this place was so neat! I didn't…read moreknow what to expect because I've never heard of this place. However, we were gifted a Groupon so that's how we knew about OUAC. When we went it was a cloudy and rainy day so it wasn't crowded at all, which was nice. The place was unique because it had many different stations and activities for your kids to play. It's like a huge Montessori playground. My boys loved the train ride and riding on the dinosaurs the most. I like that the place includes both indoor and outdoor stations. The place seems rather small compared to an amusement park like Six Flags, but it's just enough. Kids can easily spend 30 minutes - 1 hour in just one location so I really like how they can enjoy their time and casually play without parents feeling overwhelmed to get everything done to maximize the amount of money spent. We didn't host a birthday party here, but there were other parties booked. I don't know how much it costs, but let me say that the decorations were beautiful! I'm not sure if it was included or if the parents decorated themselves, but if you wanted to go all out for your child, you certainly can. The staff were also ALL super sweet and friendly! The place plans for everything, like rain. They had numerous umbrellas for patrons to use within the grounds. When it started to rain, all the staff were asking if we needed umbrellas, and one even was willing to run in the rain to get us one! Seriously, I've never seen such hospitality in an establishment from everyone! I also would recommend going here on a weekend because according to their website, more stations and activities are open during that time. Even if it's more crowded, I think it is worth it. If you want to do something different for your child, then I would recommend this place!

    Second visit was even better than the first!…read more We asked the kids when we were leaving what their favorite part was and neither could come up with just one.

    First time staying here. We had so much fun. From the moment you step through the doors you know…read morethis place is different. Had the whole family with us. Kids, grandkids, everyone had a great time. Our rooms weren't anything special but we didn't come for the rooms. They were clean and comfortable and that's about all we needed from them. You can stay in theme rooms for a different experience. The water park was awesome. So much fun on every attraction. The pools and areas around them were clean and well staffed. We didn't try the restaurants. We ordered pizza.

    DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY Our stay at Great Wolf Lodge Webster…read morewas extremely disappointing for the amount of money we spent. The water park was the best part, and the kids did enjoy themselves, but everything outside of that was frustrating. At Fireside, our server Kennedy seemed irritated and rushed, and we repeatedly had to track her down for basic service. I was able to eat, but my sister's burger was served incorrectly and completely raw inside. She had to wait while the rest of us finished eating, and by the time we got someone's attention, the other food locations had closed, leaving her without a meal. Guest Relations offered bowling and mini golf as compensation, but there were less than 30 minutes left to use them. We tried bowling anyway, only to have balls get stuck and pins become tangled repeatedly. We had to find an employee around 8 times before giving up. Our room also repeatedly became extremely hot even after adjusting the thermostat, making it difficult to get comfortable or sleep. Even the children's water area had issues. Glass was brought into the area and broken, causing it to temporarily close. We also experienced inconsistent enforcement of the children's area rules. When a lifeguard in orange Elijah would hold the door for children to escape then cornered my 2 year old daughter shaming her for doing what every other kid was doing playing in the water at the bottom of the slide. Overall, we spent far too much of our trip trying to find employees, deal with broken amenities, and get basic issues addressed. For the price, I expected much better customer service, working amenities, and a comfortable room. Unfortunately, the water park was the only part of the experience that lived up to our expectations.
