It's Island Time in Texas - Weekend of Fun

 The waterpark features an exciting collection of water slides, wave rivers, and water coasters. A one-mile river connects the three distinct sections and has four high trill speed slides including Rohr!, Cliffhanger, and the immersive Screaming Serpents body slide. 

 Who doesn’t love a turtle? Now, you can get up close and personal with colorful Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle statues around the island.  Turtles About Town is a public art project that showcases the conservation efforts of Turtle Island Restoration Network, a leading advocate for the world’s oceans and marine wildlife. Local businesses sponsored the turtles while local artists were commissioned to give each one its own personality and meaning. 

 The charming Victorian-era buildings of the Historic Downtown District beckon visitors with their ornate iron balconies and whimsical painted signs. 

The possibilities are endless!!

 Featuring waterfront fun and entertainment like no other Gulf Coast destination,
the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier features family-oriented attractions including rides,
midway games, a wide selection of food venues and retail shops. 

 Galvestson brought ELISSA, an 1877 square-rigged iron barque, from a scrapyard in Piraeus Harbor, Greece to Galveston to begin restoration work in 1978. By 1982, GHF staff and volunteers completed restoration and transformed this rare, historic vessel into a floating museum that would actively sail.  

 At more than 10 miles long and 17 feet high, Galveston’s seawall is the longest continuous sidewalk in the country and the world’s longest mural. Today, the iconic Seawall Boulevard is a happening place for beachgoers and serves as a gorgeous backdrop to a variety of shops, restaurants, attractions and gear rental stores
