- RNRyan NotmylastNov 15, 20254.0Family a good time. Expect to spend a couple hundred dollars (group of 4). Have to pay an entrance fee regardless if you participate on the rides or not ($30-35) for full pass. Off season so line and were better minus a few rides out of commission for maintenence. Overall a good time.
- KKKAWLIGAOct 21, 20252.0Visited for the 1st time this weekend. Not at all impressed. We took our teenage sons 14 and 15 yr old and for 4 people it was $50 just to walk in. There is a day pass for $50 per person including rides but be warned, one ride was closed as was most of the stores and concessions. We were there at around 1:30 pm on Sunday. The other handful of rides are for small children and other than that you get a bamboo shoot type ride and a Ferris wheel and a small roller coaster and some looping ride. Definitely not a place for teens, the boardwalk games cost extra as well. Truthfully it’s way overhyped and overpriced. We opted to pay separate for rides should we have decided to ride any but not having been here before it’s not clear on the website what the rides are or the ages. $30 to ride the Ferris wheel and literally go around 4 times. What a waste of money and time. Not to mention the $15 parking. We visit Galveston fairly often and have always opted to pass on this site, wish we had kept that going. Now I know and we will never return. Wish I had read the other reviews first but as Houston natives I’ve seen this place since it was built and thought we’d finally check it out. Not impressed at all!
