The splash pad not big but good enough to have kids run around happily, the playground is in need of some repair but generally quite enjoyable. If not for the splash pad would have probably give it only 3 out of 5 stars for outdoor play equipment

Well worth the drive to the tip of Pelican Island off of Galveston Island, this hidden park is a…read moregreat way to spend an afternoon. You can find a fishing pier, playground, picnic area, and great views of Galveston Harbor. Entrance fee is $10 a vehicle to park and visit the park. If you want to tour the historic ship and sub, it will be an extra charge of $10-15 a person but is not mandatory to visit the park. My family enjoyed walking around the park, taking in the sights of fisherman hauling in their catch, the wildlife (pelicans, dolphins, sea turtles), and the ships passing through and by the harbor. We also decided to tour the sub and destroyer from WW2. It took about an hour for us to walk through both ships, self guided. A fair amount of history with both vessels but wish the tour would have been a little longer, especially on the destroyer. Fun time to spend an afternoon in Galveston, great for families. If you skip the ships, it makes for a very cheap activity while in Galveston. Even with the ships, it is still pretty affordable afternoon.

Nothing dampens my vacation to the beach like a week of rain and no sun but that's what happened…read more So we were on the hunt for something fun to do with five children under 4! Fortunately we came across this sweet little place on the island. Small and quaint but full of rooms of imagination and learning. Each of the kids had different personalities and within seconds we found a spot for each of them. It may have been a toss up as to whether adults or kids had the most fun. There is only one doorway to come in and out of so we felt pretty safe that we wouldn't lose any too quickly lol. Every time we thought we had seen it all, there were more rooms to discover. Kids were fully entertained and happy to be out of the airbnb. There were enough activities for ages up to 8 I would say. There was also an art studio. Supplies were rough. Very used so a donation might improve that activity. Restrooms clean but small. So was parking. We had to park on adjacent street when we were there. Takeaway-when it rains, make a trip here you won't regret it. I believe it was $10 per head. Oh and be sure to do a little jig with Mr Skeleton while you're there.

For a family of 5 the price was $44 as a non resident. There is a 2ft deep kiddie play area with its own mini water slide and plenty of lifeguards to reassure the children are safe. There's a nice lazy river not too large but a decent size at 3-4 feet deep. There are 2 big water slides you have to climb stairs to go up! It's pretty awesome I've rode both slides and they're super fun! There's a place to buy snacks and drinks (cash only) you can pay to enter the park with tap to pay or card payment. There are picnic table areas and next door a nice huge park. This is ideal for families, very relaxing, fun music played which creates a summer feel atmosphere. Definitely recommend visiting for families with small children!
