Resorts in Galveston, TX

Galveston, a city rich in history dating back to the mid-1800s, quickly established itself as an integral port for trade and shipping and one of the nation's busiest as well. Full of charm and boasting spectacular beaches, this island haven, only 50 miles southeast of Houston, is wildly popular as a get-away destination for everyone. Enjoy its historic architecture, take a dip in the warm waters of the gulf, or just leisurely view one of the town's many historical landmarks. If you enjoy spending some time at museums, you're in luck, as Galveston has nearly ten to choose from. Head to the Galveston Railroad Museum, the Bryan Museum, Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Museum, Galveston's Naval Museum or The Children's Museum, Moody Mansion, and Bishop's Palace.

To really explore the ocean, dolphin tours are arguably one of Galveston's most popular attractions.

And best of all, all you have to do is relax and enjoy while the captain takes the wheel.

Galveston knows how to have fun. If you love roller coasters, plan to spend the day (or the night, or both) at the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier. This is the perfect destination for families, with fun games, exciting arcades, excellent shopping, and scrumptious restaurants and eateries, all surrounding a fabulous boardwalk and amusement park. Take in the beautiful coastal waters by strolling along its historic pier and get a bird-eye view of the city on the pier's Galaxy Wheel, a mammoth Ferris wheel. There's truly no better way to experience the flavor of Galveston, and our downtown Galveston resorts are just the ticket for fun in the heart of this Texas gem.
