  We came here on a Sunday and about 4 rides were “closed” with attendants standing in front of them not servicing anyone. 4 major rides by the way. We were still charged full price for an all day wristband despite 4 of these rides being closed. This severely limited the experience especially since our niece wanted to ride almost all the ones that were closed. Why do you get charged full price for a wristband when they aren’t required to have all the rides open and severely reduce the quality of your experience? Don’t think I will ever visit again. Waste of time and money.

  Yes, I can say for the most part. This was a nice experience. This is a family environment. The prices was fair for the most part. Considering the economy, it is what it is. However, my biggest right is that we pay for pictures? And we were told that we were supposed to be able to get the pictures online. However, it's been over 2 weeks now. We're still trying to get the pictures. I'm constantly reaching out via email. Can get a clear answer to where the pictures been sending an emails for about a week and a 1/2 2 weeks now just to get a response saying that there is no proof that I pay for the pictures.So I sent a picture of the pictures, because the only way I can get the pictures is if I pay for the pictures and I'm still waiting for someone to get back in contact with me.It's absolutely ridiculous , because I am not from Texas , and I wanted to be able to share my picture

  Had a fabulous experience..our first trip to Galveston. The day was beautiful, our guide was well versed in the history of the area. We saw lots of dolphins, several cruise ships where at Port and some fishing boats had came in with some great catches. We got to take alot of pictures, learned history and saw some amazing sites. I will do this again. Took almost an hour, we'll worth the money, you also get a tour of the museum at that location, and gift shop. Restrooms were nice and clean and recommended prior to leaving dock..the guide and his assistant were amazing.

  Harika bir deneyimdi! Oyuncakları çalıştıran makinist gençlerin neredeyse hepsi Work and Travel ile gelmiş Türk gençleriydi. Memleketimden insanları burada çalışırken görmek ve onlarla karşılaşmak gerçekten çok hoş bir sürpriz oldu. Fiyatlar da gayet makuldu; yetişkinler için sınırsız bilet 35$, çocuklar için 25$ ve gün boyu tüm oyuncaklara sınırsız binebiliyorsunuz. Verdiğiniz paraya kesinlikle değiyor, çok eğlendik! Had a wonderful experience here! Almost all the ride operators were young students from Turkey visiting through the Work and Travel program. It was such a lovely surprise to see students from my home country working here! The ticket prices were also very reasonable—$35 for adults and $25 for kids for an all-day unlimited ride pass. Definitely worth the money, we had a great time!

  Pleasure Pier is a must-visit every time we're in Galveston. It's become a family tradition, and we always have a great time making memories together. Unfortunately, a few of the rides were closed because of the high winds, but that certainly didn't ruin our day. There were still plenty of attractions to enjoy, and the atmosphere was just as fun as ever. One thing that really stood out was the customer service. Somehow my daughter lost her ride wristband, and the staff quickly replaced it without any hassle. That level of kindness and understanding really meant a lot to us. If you're looking for a fun place to spend time with the family while visiting Galveston, Pleasure Pier is definitely worth the trip. Great rides, a beautiful waterfront setting, friendly staff, and memories that will last a lifetime.
