    My daughter's school buses and front gate.  We are having such a fun time; there are so many kids. So always eyes on your child

    My daughter and her friends and many other kids are having such fun time. There are so many kids that as a parent try to keep your eyes on them at all time.

    Train ride!

    I gotta say I underestimated this place and not sure why. This place is awesome and we are definitely coming back my kids are already asking to go back the next day. I brought my kids here (daughter 5 and son 3) on Saturday during Fathers Day weekend and we had a blast! I thought it was going to be super crowded but it was just the right amount of people and the place is very expansive (50 acres). Everyone is really nice and in a good mood - this place is just plain fun for kids AND adults. The staff was very nice to us from the jump including Sandy at the front entrance. I'm like "what do I do and where are we?" She explained everything and gave us a map and we were on our way. It's a place where the kids can roam free and let loose all their energy. I thought the property was going to be too big to walk on foot but it's not everything is relatively close to each other just wear some good shoes. There are so many things to do we could have spent all day here but we had to leave for dinner. My son really loved the mining for treasure station and so did I. This station was one of our favorites. My daughter loved riding the horses. The cowboy and cowgirl stationed there were very cool to us and helped my daughter to mount and ride Diamond. They were very nice and deserve recognition same as the tractor hayride guy. The train ride and duck races are fun. One of the staff guys took us on a hay ride to go feed to cows and that was very cool for the kids to experience that. Overall, I'd say this place is top notch. Things that stand out the most are the politeness, friendliness and kindness of the staff, the mining station and the horse riding station. We didnt even get to do the other half of everything including swimming, fishing, maze and paddle boats so we are going back! Thanks Oil Ranch staff my kids and I love this place. see ya soon.

    We had a great time! We got lucky on going on not such a hot day. Still in the high 90's but had some cloud cover to help. We took our nephews and brother who were in town and they loved it. Very interactive You have to take the hayride. The best part feeding the cattle.

    Checking out this place as a potential party venue.

    I took a tour of the Oil Ranch to see if I wanted to have my daughters 12th birthday party here. When I first got pricing for it, I felt it was reasonable for the amount of people the package would include. I live practically around the corner from it so I figured why not. I've heard they a lot of schools so field trips there. I was taken around the prooperty by a very nice lady on a golf cart. For $400-$500 I would hope everything is included but a few things are not. The food options were very basic and in my opinion overpriced for what you get. Upon viewing the ranch I determined that it was a outdated, even for a outdoor activity spot, dirty and torn activity equipment. I feel that there are some renovations that are needed. I don't think there would have been enough value for the kids to spend that kind of money. The host was nice bbt I never reserved the party.

    Hay Ride

    I wish there were more places like this one! Big, so much to do, and fun. There were pony rides, hay rides, and I even milked a cow. Water, hats and umbrellas are a must if you are visiting during the summer. The heat was the only downside to this place.

    This place is awesome! There's a petting zoo with a few goats, swings that have sandbags? Not sure but it's fun! They also have a small train, hayride, a huge "pillow" kids can bounce on, etc. It's a great place and the staff is super friendly! It's outdoors so you will be sweating with all the walking and running around but it's worth it! I highly recommend!

    Longhorns and cows that you can feed from the hayride!
    H. D.

    It was so much fun!!! There were no lines. They gave us a hay ride and train ride. They were amazing at the pony/horse ride area, and at the petting zoo area. They even have boats on the small lake. There is a bouncy area, a pool, and so much more. They let my daughter blow the train whistle and ring the bell. They gave us the feed to give the cows. My daughter loved the goat farm most of all but also loved all the playgrounds they have. They were really nice and sweet everywhere. We are definitely returning for the pumpkin patch.

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!

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.

In addition to the super fun go kart racing track, there are plenty of arcade games, some of which are VR, laser tag, and even great food!

Lots of arcade game options, almost everything in working order and clean. The kids enjoyed themselves which was the goal. The bad: The mini track was LAME, for a kid that's never driven before it would be adequate, but our 5 year old drives well (he has a kart of his own at home) he easily could have handled the beginner track and kart. The arcade was over priced for a weekday, and there were no attendants to be found for help with game malfunctions or to get prizes. If we ever make it back to Texas we might make a return visit.

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.

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.

The park was not crowded, and our 2-year-old was able to spend as much time as he wanted at each activity without having to wait. It started getting busier around 10:00-10:30 a.m., so I would definitely recommend arriving early. Our son absolutely loves tractors and big construction equipment, so this place was a dream come true for him. There were plenty of hands-on activities, and he had the best time exploring everything. Even though it was a hot day, there was a good amount of shade throughout the park, along with lots of picnic tables where families could sit, relax, or enjoy a snack. There is also a nice playground, which gave our toddler another fun option when he wanted a break from the equipment. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained, and we especially appreciated that they had two family restrooms available. There is also a concession stand for snacks and drinks and a gift shop at the end, which was a nice touch before heading home. Overall, Dig World was a fun, unique, and well-thought-out experience for young children. Our 2-year-old had the best time, and we would definitely visit again!
