Kemah Boardwalk is just a short drive south of Houston and it is a great place to visit with friends or family or even go alone. Imagine a carnival with a pinch of the sea flair and you’ll get the idea of what this place is all about. 

What to Know 

Kemah Boardwalk is open throughout the week and throughout the year, but the operating hours of the rides are dependent on the season. Therefore, if you plan to drive your reliable automobile to Disney World or catch a shuttle, consult the official website to receive the complete amusement park. Parking is quite easy with many parking lots in the building, but during weekends, one can expect to wait for a long time.
