Things to do in Galveston with kids

Things to do in Galveston with kids from enjoying the beach to visiting museums there’s a lot of family-friendly activities to do in this beautiful Texas city.

Go to The Island of Galveston, Texas to one of the beaches of Texas that has a lot to offer, it is located 50 miles from downtown Houston and there are many activities for the whole family.

We live very close to the city of Dallas and we are only four and a half hours away, so from time to time when we take advantage and we go to drive, the kids love it, it is a good beach choice close to home.

Before the children entered classes we escaped to Galveston.  I’m sharing some tourist attractions that you should not miss, in addition to enjoying the beach, sand and sun, of course!

  • Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Waterpark. The water park with more than 30 attractions and what surprised me is that it is open until December, how do they do?

The park includes attractions such as Water Coasters, Wave Pool, Slides, Children’s Games, Whitewater Rapids, the Boogie Bahn surf ride, and the Transportainment Interconnected Transportation System®.
  • Lone Star Flight Museum. Museum with an exhibition of different types of aircraft and its history Moody Mansion. Built-in 1895 and purchased by W. L. Moody Jr. 1900, after a hurricane. Mr. Moody celebrated more than 80 Christmases with their children, kept home as a house room until 1986, and now the house remains intact with its stuff and furniture.
  • Bishops Palace. Built from 1887 to 1982 and regarded as an example of Victorian exuberance. It is made of marble, high floors, and exotic materials.
