    Late review, but you can use this info to compare to today's prices…read more Admission rates for May 2022: Pier Walk-On Pass (this pass allows you to experience the pier, but not the rides. Rides can be purchased separately.) - $11 (48" and above) - $9 (Under 48") - Children 2 and under, free All day ride passes are also available: - $27.99 (48" and above) - $20.99 (Under 48") - You do not have to purchase the Pier Walk-On Pass with this option, although children 2 and under will need a ticket/wristband to go on rides. A premium paid parking lot is located directly across from the pier, but we chose to hunt for parking instead. Luckily, we found free beach access parking near 33rd Street. Pleasure Pier offers waterfront fun and entertainment with rides, carnival games and souvenir shops. Fries - $5 (Fries weren't even hot! Room temperature at best) Dos Equis beer - $11 Galveston Beach isn't the prettiest. According to what I've read, there's a lot of silt/sediment from the Mississippi River that flows through the area. There is a bacteria monitoring program in place to test the waters frequently and Galveston Beach is usually safe for swimming. Galveston Beach and Pleasure Pier are best experienced in cooler weather.

    First visit for me. Went with some friends over the weekend and we bought the unlimited pass and…read morehad a fun time. There weren't that many people there when we arrived (1pm) and the lines were short. The park started getting quite a bit busier around 5:30-6pm. PROS -Almost all staff were nice and helpful. -The park is very clean and in pretty good condition overall. The restrooms were very clean when we used them. -The prices are comparable with similar places. I felt that the unlimited pass is a good deal. Food (prices) are about what I expected. Not cheap but not outrageous like it can be at some places. -The food I had there wasn't great, wasn't bad. They have hamburgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, chicken tenders etc. There are several food options close by and an easy walk to get to. Those places may be more to your liking (Bubba Shrimp, Chick Fil A etc) CONS -Two of the big rides (The roller coaster and the water ride) were closed during our entire visit, which was disappointing. I feel they should at least list on a board or tell you what isn't working when you arrive. TBH, if they told us those were not working, I would have still gone because there are other things to do. -I thought the 5D attraction was OK, but not great. The mine ride was fun, the shark attack less so. RECOMMENDATIONS -Check weather first and get there when the park opens. -Before buying your pass, ask if any rides are closed. A couple closed isn't a big deal but if 5-6 rides are closed you will want to know. -Get the unlimited day pass if you are planning on being there for more than a couple hours. -Get the unlimited refill souvenir drink cup. It pays for itself after a few refills and if you are there all day on a hot day, you will want it. It does not hold that much liquid. You can refill sodas, water or slushies. No alcohol. -If you decide to do the 5D attraction, bundle that + the park pass to get the best deal.

    Incredibly nice venue. My understanding is it's for sale. The mission of the place is to get new…read morepeople involved in the sailing community. It's currently letting Galveston Yacht Club re-establish off of the property. It has multiple floors an is outfitting for meeting or all kinds of spaces, classrooms, etc. I haven't had a full tour. Tons of docks - they are being repaired with a goal date of the end of the year I think, maybe sooner. Prime area. I believe the goal is to sell it to a group to further sailing education and participation which is really cool. Great staff.

    November 21, 2021…read more AWESOME EXPERIENCE with Captain Clement Jardin!! In honor of my 60th BD on the 23rd...we, "just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...a tale" of 3 gals on the bayou!!! (gilligan's island song reference) The three of us had the best time...Sunday FUNday! It was predicted to be a 40-80% chance of rain ...BUTT, not today Satan...the weather was perfect...hardly any clouds, 75 out and a decent wind...Capt Clement was patient, friendly and informative. I was the captain for about an hour...then I asked my friend to take over...she hesitantly did! We were on a 30 foot sailboat called, "the lift off!" It had plenty of space to sit. While on the water we met several other sailors/captains that Clement knew and we got to talk to from afloat. This outing cost $50 each and we were sailing in Offatt's bayou for 2 hours (maximum is 3 hours but, we all had to pee, so we lost an hour...old bitty's!!! LOL!) All in all, it was a FANTASTIC experience ...very zen. Get this...one friend aboard hadn't been on (any) kind of boat in 38 years (she had been involved in a near fatal boat crash at 14) and today, was the day she conquered that fear of water-crafts. We all learned a lot from Captain Jardin and about ourselves. " and if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again" (christopher cross 1979) For information about this sail...you can reach Captain at this email cjardin@ssbgalveston.org Or Call 409 572 2560 Do it!!!
