Reviews
I visited Kemah Boardwalk with my family and it exceeded all our expectations. The place perfectly combines exciting attractions, excellent food and a beautiful view of the bay. The Boardwalk Bullet roller coaster was incredibly fun, and the Boardwalk Beast speedboat ride gave us a unique dose of adrenaline.
We also enjoyed walking on the boardwalk, feeding manta rays at the Stingray Reef and watching live music at sunset. The restaurants have a very good atmosphere, especially if you like to eat with a view of the water. The whole park is clean, well organized and with friendly staff.
We will definitely be back! It is an excellent option to spend the day near Houston without having to get to the beach.
We went here on a Saturday morning where there were some clouds and possible rain in the area. It ended up being a great time as it was not too hot yet and there were not many people there when they first opened up.
I did check ticket prices online and they were the same as buying them in person so we got them in person while we were there. I think the wristband was worth it as the kids were able to enjoy most of the rides. It’s so great being able to get on rides that give you the feeling of being right over the ocean.
There was a zipline type ride called the eagle and it was not included with the wristband so keep that in mind.
They also have many other attractions here such as an arcade and a boat ride. Overall I would highly recommend this place as a tourist to the area.
The place wasn’t too crowded, and parking was easy to find. I enjoyed exploring the local shops. The wooden roller coaster was impressive—definitely a highlight. There were fewer rides overall, but I think it was just the right amount.
Great place to spend time with kids 👍😃 Everything is clean and well-maintained. Not too many rides — just enough to have fun without feeling overwhelmed. No long lines on a weekday in March. We loved the train ride, and being right by the sea makes it even better — the ocean breeze is amazing 🙂
Came here on a Monday afternoon and it was fun! Not many people so there was hardly any wait. We loved the roller coaster, wheel of fire and Pharoah ride! Vanilla Ice cream cone at the funnel cake shop is delicious. Two of the rides were under maintaince which was slightly disappointing…overall it was a fun experience
