The Kemah Boardwalk is a fun theme park located on the Texas Gulf Coast. It's in Kemah, Texas, about 30 miles southeast of Downtown Houston. This 60-acre park is built right along the water, next to Galveston Bay and Clear Lake. It's known as one of the best boardwalks in the United States!
The Kemah Boardwalk is owned by Landry's, Inc. It has over 10 restaurants, lots of rides, fun games, and shops. There's even a hotel, a yacht, and a marina. You can walk around the boardwalk for free. If you want to go on rides, you can buy tickets for each ride or get an all-day pass.
