Kemah Boardwalk in Kemah, Texas, is a waterfront entertainment district located along Galveston Bay, about 30 miles southeast of downtown Houston. Opened in 1997, the Boardwalk combines amusement rides with restaurants, shops and entertainment, all centered around its location directly on the water.

The amusement park section is relatively compact but offers a surprisingly varied selection of rides. Its most recognizable attraction is the Boardwalk Bullet, a tightly packed wooden roller coaster that dominates the skyline of the property. Other attractions include the Boardwalk Tower, Drop Zone, a Ferris wheel and several classic family rides, many of them offering views across the bay.

More than the individual rides, it is the waterfront setting that defines a visit to Kemah Boardwalk. Walking along the boardwalk, watching the boats on Galveston Bay and enjoying a few rides along the way makes for a relaxed amusement park experience with a distinctly coastal atmosphere.

Fun Fact: The roller coaster Boardwalk Bullet offers a very compact layout on an area of only 1acre, it is currently the highest wooden roller coaster in Texas.
