Located less than an hour from bustling Houston, this island community offers the perfect combination of weather and things to do, or not do, year round. As a tourist destination, Galveston tends to busy on most recognized holidays, weekends, and when the kids are out of school and headed to the beach, including spring break and Texas Beach Party. With a moderate climate year round, there is no time of year that isn’t good for a visit. Winters are generally mild with the low temperature in the evening still near 50, making it an ideal time for a great meal at one of the city’s many fine restaurants followed by a stroll on the beach. Spring brings a comfortable combination of warm temperatures during the day; warm enough for a dip in the water and yet cool enough at night to enjoy any outdoor activity. Summers are warm and filled with abundant sunshine. This time of year brings a majority of the visitors to the beach to enjoy the warm Texas Gulf waters. Fall is similar to spring but just a little warmer. Whatever the reason for a visit, whether for a day or a week, this island city is waiting with a warm smile, a warm breeze, and a comfortable climate.
Galveston has attractions that appeal to every family member. Moody Gardens features a 10 story Rainforest Pyramid offering an incredible tropical environment, and is home to the largest bat exhibit in the Southwest. The IMAX 3D keeps visitors jumping out of their seats, and the experience is so real they reach out to touch objects that seem to be just inches away. Palm Beach offers a white sand beach with a blue lagoon and lots of fun for kids. The Discovery Pyramid features a host of interactive exhibits where visitors can learn about the wonders of science, and take a fascinating adventure ride in the IMAX Ridefilm Theater. Another Moody Gardens attraction, the Aquarium Pyramid, is one of the largest in the world and features 100,000 square feet of exhibit space showcasing the waters of the world.
