The rides were great. The price for the pier is not high and therefore the duration of the rides arent either.Its definitely thrilling to get on the cyclone, Revolution and the Iron shark. If you havent been to a lot of amusement parks, this can be a great place to start and see how much adventure can you survive. The lighting at the night makes it even more fun!

Don’t believe the ratings. You can pay for those.It is a very clean and well kept environment. It also feels very safe and secure. Kudos to the maintenance team.The leadership/management is aloof and nonexistent. Staff members are only trained with word tracks versus true customer service.Only one example:When you call to determine which rides are open, they will tell you you what is open and closed and while that would seem to be OK, once you get there you realize that while “technically” they can be open BUT they may not have people there to operate.When you ask staff members the status on what is supposed to be open, they can only say I’m sorry... we don’t have enough staff. And then you inquire on when it will be open they will only tell you that you’ll have to ask management.When you ask for a little more clarification, they can only say, “I’m only trained to say “You have to ask management”.Staff members will even agree with your frustration but then note that due to management they can only say, “I’m sorry, please ask management.”

It was pretty awesome! The beach was salty as geck but i absolutely loved it. The pier was amazing as well. Would have liked more variety in terms of rides,but i definitely cannot say i did not enjoy the ones there. The main problem i would say is the fact that everything is so expensive. Other than that? Best first time beach experience!If you visiting for the first time like i was and dont mind spending a lot of money i highly recommend a dinner at Bubba Gumps! Its definitely worth it~!

Fun place to be ... For all ages. Kids loved riding all the rides great that you can come in and out and there was someone checking your purchased entry, helps to keep the place less crowded. Night time view is amazing.

For younger children its a Seaside Wonderland. For Parents it can get $$$$ for Everyone to Really take advantage of Everything they have to Entice You. Check out Groupon for Food/All Day Ride deals. Every Friday in November 2020 they are Offering Free Walk On Fridays.. Yes you have to Pay them just to walk on, after parking, food, fun.. Really A Walk On Fee if you Dont have a Play Pass? Hence the 3 STARS.. The restaurants and Clean though Small beaches on either side make for a great day trip!

A local and very beautiful pier. Lots of rides, restaurants, and plenty to see and do. Beautiful view of the Gulf of Mexico. A great place to unwind and take in the view. If you need to get away Galveston is the great spot.

Family fun for everyone! Its a great place for the whole family but pretty overpriced. Its best to go when you find one of their deals posted on their website through out the year.

I stopped by the Pier today at 4PM. I asked the lady at the counter for 1 pier pass. She said it was free today, which was exciting because its my birthday. I then asked her for 1 Galaxy wheel ticket. She informed me they were one use only. I asked for 2 and she happily sold them to me. And despite NO SIGNS or anything on the website saying a single person couldnt ride the Galaxy Wheel, I walk right up. The man running the ride informed me I could not ride the ride alone. It was all I came for. I read online about no refunds, so I left very disappointed on my birthday. Could you guys post signs about that?

Beautiful day at the beach. Clean and very good social distancing in place. No fishy smells just clean relaxing place.

Fantastic family fun. Lots of prizes on the midway. Short lines for rides. Cozy atmosphere. Beautiful lights on the ocean. Absolutely loved it.

It was more than an experience. I had so much fun. The waterfront, the food, the park, the historical buildings and all. Its a beautiful city.

It does not have a lot of rides or wild rides, bit its fun, a good place to spend time with the kids.

Really nice place, lovley rides good price for the all inclusive ride- my only complaint is that $10 for just walk around the pier is too much.

Loved the experience, but not sure why you pay to just go in and walk around. Seems a little much. I could see if a live band was performing or something. Other than that, I truly enjoyed the pier.

Who knew Texas had pretty water????? Hahaha I clearly did not. My family and I had a blast. Fun for all ages.

This is such a cute place! It is a perfect place for a date...*cough cough*(boys!). The rides are fun to go on with friends and family (or your date) and I even saw adults on a date there, while their kids were being watched by a sitter! You should go!

Had a great time at pleasure pier yesterday with my family. A little bit of something for everyone to do. The water ride is awesome. Gets everyone soaked so I recommend doing it right before you leave. Great drinks great food and an overall good time. Will be back in the future for more visits. Plus you get an active duty military discount at the counter.

Super fun! We used a Groupon that included dinner and the amusement parks! We had a blast on all the rides! The ferris wheel was a little bumpy but thats the only downfall!

We love Galveston!!!! My husband and I wanted to take a mini vacation to the beach and with Galveston being only about 4 hours away we knew that is where we wanted to go. Galveston is one of our favorite places to visit. There is so much to do there. From all the great shops and restaurants on the sea wall and strand. To hanging out and relaxing on the beach. As well as a night stroll on the shore. We love coming here so much we have talked about moving to Galveston. I highly recommend visiting there.

Covid had some of the stuff shut down but so nice to visit on a sunny day!

Every year I come back its always better than before. Feels like home.

What a buzzing atmosphere- here I thought Galveston would be dry lol but to my surprise there’s a a whole beach vibe street! The amusement park was great. Toddler loved it. She’s about 37” and could go on many things unlike most places

This was my first time and l really loved it. The staff was great and my friends and I had a wonderful time. I definitely will be back again.

Clean spacious fun. But expensive if not a a free walk the pier day.

A little pricey but, everything is in a tourist town100.00 got 4 all day passes and we had a 2 try old.A great 3 hours of fun for them.The super tall swings were terrifying

Not sure why people lie. This place is for kids & adults. There is a restaurant and venues for snacks. All the employees where cleaning every ride after every use that takes much patience. It was super fun last night. I uses a locker to put my small purse and a baseball hat. We had an awesome time thank you to everyone!!!°

The kids loved it. Just like any amusement park, be prepared to spend the money. Oh and ride the 200ft tall swing. Youll thank me later

We came on a Friday and they closee at 6pm. Not sure why so early. Didnt get to get on anything. But the view was nice.

The pier is closed due to covid but it is still pretty

Was a great place. Definitely get the day pass. Only down side is they make you take off your glasses for EVERY SINGLE RIDE except the carousel and ferris wheel. Kinda defeats the purpose of being on the pier and having a view when youre blind and cant see it.

I was surprised with how family friendly and inviting the pier was. I managed to have an extremely refreshing pina coloda that helped deal with the terrible heat. But as someone from the east coast I was most excited and surprised about how warm the water was. It was absolutely incredible. Very tempted to dive in but just went to my knees instead. Beach was very clean I didn’t see many shells to step on either. Excited to go back

It was nice. There isnt a lot of rides and most of the games werent open to play. But overall a bit of fun to add to your day at the beach.

Went for the first time during thanksgiving and wont be returning. Most of the rides are down and they are still charging full price. For the rides that are still operating they have a few staff members operating multiple rides. For saftey reasons I hope the managers see this post. Staff members are humans that can be burnt out from running back and forth between rides which I saw when were there. Operating one ride then cleaning it running to another and repeating God forbid one forget or miss something important and there is an accident.They need to do a full shut down fix their rides and issues cause half opened is hurting peoples expectations and experiences.

Another awesome part of Galveston. Rides were a lot of fun!!!We found it to be extra fun cuz they actually let you drink while roaming the pier...

Had a blast!!! $108.00 for a group of 4 48 or taller all day pass. Parking was $10.00. It was a smaller version of Six Flags.

I had a wonderful time in Galveston #USA Texas A Real #Vacation SummerTime I never forget when I was young my parents took me And My Sister year Ago It Show Look s Different. #YSBH!

Insane. Explosive. Enough rides to entertain young to older crowds. Intense because the view is around and over water. Reasonable prices for carnival food and tickets.

Good place to hang out and ride a few rides. Two of the main rides were down on this date for maintenance (Shark and Disco). The employees at the front windows should just make customers aware ahead of time. You know since you dont get the Full experience if the park.

I wish it was open at night because its beautiful lot up, but I guess it closed early because of covid. We love it. Great rides and plenty to do.

What a great place. Family friendly, plenty of rides, and great food. We stopped by here on vacation. Wish we would have more time could of spent the whole day here. Fun for all ages.

Awesome place to check out lots of side parking(u do have to pay) but for my first time to be at a beach me and the wife enjoyed it very much also lots of souvenirs to choose from and surrounded by great restaurants

Nothing special. Overpriced just to walk on the pier. $10pp. You have to buy a pier ticket if you want to ride even just one ride like my daughter did. Its good for people who like thrill rides.

Great place for the family. I was disappointed that some of the rides were closed and many of the food venues were also closed. It was a Sunday, but there was still a decent crowd and lots of fun for the family.

I had soo much fun here the rides were all fun and the games were as well .. if you plan to get in the water ride make sure you bring a towel because your going to get drenched

Me and hubby happened to stumble upon this place while on a spontaneous trip to Galveston. It looked cool so we stopped and went up. We didnt go inside because it seemed to be geared towards kids/family. We were looking for a more adult feel. Next time, well be sure to have the kids

This place was awesome. They had everything and the kids really had fun. Go if you can its worth the money.

Honestly I was really excited to come here that started the day but after leaving here I can honestly say I dont think I would be coming back here. The food was overpriced and disgusting. At the end of the night they only had two people covering a total of four kiddie rides. so you basically had to wait your turn for someone to eventually come to their station so that your kid can ride a ride I stopped waiting 45 minutes at a ride for somebody to come and actually start the ride. when I asked him why this happened they told me because its Sunday and we dont overstaff on Sundays. for as much money as I spent today at this location I can honestly say very very poor service.

As a photographer this place was a dream to take photos, as a beach lover the sand was so soft and peaceful even on a windy day!

Great vacation! We went out on the pier to eat and enjoyed our meal! Our second trip to Galverston and we will be back again!!!

The rides and 5d entertainment are so much fun and exciting beyond expectation! also, they have great rides, games and food and drinks.

Such a fun place for food, drinks, gamers, rides and so much more. You can have your photo drawn or get a nice scenic photo by the water.This pier, is b-e-a-u-t-I-f-u-l!& there’s plenty to do for all ages.

It costs a fortune just to walk across the pier. You have to buy a wrist bracelet just to enter it. The rides you pay for individually. So be prepared to hurt your wallet. We paid, and bought tickets and wristbands and as soon as we got to the first ride we turned around and left and got a refund.Youre better off just admiring it from afar.

Overpriced tourist trap. Luckily we went on a Friday where they have a $14.99 special for unlimited rides so that saved me a bit of money. Unfortunately they do charge just to walk on the pier. The employees there were not friendly at all . Young people who looked bored with their job and don’t even take the time to greet you with a simple hello. My daughter is 2 she was able to go on a few rides But there really isn’t much for young kids around her age to do. Games & food on the pier was too pricey so after about an hour we left. Overall I’m glad my kids experienced it but I definitely will not be back

1st time in Galveston didnt even know this place existed. Bubba Gumb restaurant was the only thing open on our visit, not disappointed at all. The food was delicious the hospitality was warm and greeting, especially with this pandemic going on, everyone tried to make it the best visit for tourists. I cant wait to go back when everything is open.

Fun fun fun!! Kids loved it and there were enough rides they could go on for their height! Definitely a must do for a Galveston visit. Ticket for adult was $26.99 for 48” above and $19.99 for 48” under. There’s parking on the street for $2 for 2 hours and after 6pm it’s free.

Old-fashioned carnival amusement in the Galveston sunshine. The attractions are actually pretty up to date despite the historical character and background of the pier. Very pretty to see in the evening as well with all the lights. Not bad that there is a Bubba Gump at the entrance to combat any hunger which may have developed during the thrill rides.

Cute pier but you have to pay $10 just to walk on it - even if you dont want to take any rides. I understand that helps maintain the pier, but it is a little disheartening. They had proper signage for social distancing and it was clean.

It was enjoyable ride with car in a ship. It was wonderful enjoyable experience. The beautiful sea gull (I THINK) is following when we throw food was very nice. Take some food for sea gull. Watched beautiful Dolphins jumping from long. I had very good time here. I appreciate the regulation they made and to my wonder the ride is free. Please dont miss if you are in Texas. I.didnt get time to visit more places in Galveston as it is historic place too

A lot of fun. Great place, not a lot of rides but what they do have is great. Funnel cake was delicious

7/15/19 - 1st time at Pleasure Pier & have to say that it was a fun & entertaining experience, $100 for 5 family members (3 walk on the Pier & 2 on the rides) since it was noon on a Monday no wait times for the rides. Would recommend to all to enjoy & go to Kehmah for more entertainment after & food

First time going me and my family drove from Dallas love environment will be going back

Had fun. Its not that big but thats not a bad thing. I wouldnt get the ride pass. This is a pier not a full theme park. If 2-3 rides arent up and running you wont be riding enough to make it worth it

Fun but pick a good time of the day it can be really humid and hot. Wish more of the rides were open but still worth visiting!

The. Pleasure pier is a. Place to go for. Fun. N. Entertainment n. For. All. Ages u. Will. Enjoy

Is a really nice place for spend time whit your kids or girlfriend

Nice place to visit while in galveston.. and Bubba gimp is a must try with a beautiful view

Enjoyed the evening walk on the pier with my family

Very fun spot. Coaster and swings were great fun. Beautifully lite at night. Grest spot for the kids

We thoroughly enjoyed our time! Its pricey so bring some cash but we had fun.

Very fun for the whole family. Prices are reasonable. The rides were fun and the games are entertaining. Plenty of parking across the street and Bubba Gumps restaurant was very good.

Great place ....snug clothing on a cold day...going to need an eye patch..lol

Its a family fun experience for children and adults alike. First time going there last weekend, and going back again this weekend.

They require masks....kinda... pricey, but a beautiful place to watch the sunset.

Not quite ready for prime time. Was not open multiple times it should have been and when it did open the ticket process was difficult and the seller rude. Most things not working but the kids lived the big swings and blew a bunch having fun with carnival games.

I went here for the first time with my s/o and it was super fun! They have a decent selection of rides and eateries, and lots of typical boardwalk games with prizes. The only complaints I have are that wristbands are usually way too expensive (unless there is a special) and three rides were closed for seasonal maintenance, which included the iron shark and the lone star flyer. Overall, it was a great experience!

Apparently its was very fascinating and really great places to enjoy my day its was alot of fun.

Nice day out... First time. Will fo back in the summer.

Was a nice weekend getaway for us and a 13 yr old!

I have never been to this person and enjoyed it tremendously. Please, if you can, go. Youll have a great time.

$10 just to walk the pier, I paid for myself and my children. When walking around 70% of people did not have mask on, even employees working the games. We left shortly after. Beautiful views though

So much fun! Just remember to measure your kids at the area that they have for that so you dont buy a pass that the kids cant use because of height restrictions. I seen at least 2 parents mad because they bought their kid the over 48 inches but the kid wasnt tall enough and turned away from rides.I would suggest leaving the pier and eating somewhere else tho unless youre going to get the fair type foods. Fries and tenders were cold from sitting out for a while.All in all, a great day for the family to spend together.

Agree with others saying $10/person just to walk on is a bit steep, but I understand and it probably keeps the crowds under control. Was neat to just experience once, but probably wouldnt return. I did think the pelicans and seagulls at the end of the pier was a highlight.

Well out of all the hype about it I thought it was an amazing place to enjoy the day. Well half the rides were not in operation. There was also 3 that were down because of the wind. That cant be helped thats safety. But its run down. My daughter was on a ride yesterday and it got stuck in a swing out position. My daughter was in no danger.For the price and what they have to to pay isnt worth going too. There are other things to do in the area to have a better time.

Only went to the Bubba Humps restaurant here. Amusement park was very busy and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Bubba Humps was good, menu was smaller due to covid restrictions. Great waiter and prompt service. Will go again when in Galveston.

Had a great time everything was real real good.

Pleasure Pier, the historic ghost tour, the dolphin tour and Fishermans Wharf are all spectacular along with a walk on the beach on the seawall.

Never heard of this place until my boyfriend recommended it to me, we got the seafood platter and I am obsessed with it, so much good fried food. Will definitely check it out when I got Galveston.

Had fun and with various rides it was good engaging experience. The gliders, volcano, twister, sea dragon, car bump rides are main attractions.Couple of rides are under maintenance and few of kids rides are closed early!Food was bit pricey but was ok when you want to party hard!Well maintained, and had a good deal on Mardigas day all day pass rides $19

Very expensive but is a great place to take kids. They have food courts and carnival rides for little kids and big kids. Also have carnival games as well. Lots of places to sit.

Even though the sea water is brownish and not as clean as other beaches. We had a very nice and relaxing time. Plus if youre not into the ocean there are many other things you can do and visit

We had an absolute blast. Short lines. Beautiful view. Fun rides. Definitely recommend.

My family and I have been here several times and its always fun. Lots of stuff to do for kids and even some for adults. My only real criticism is how you have to pay for individual rides (or a full ride pack if the child wants to ride several) for an adult to even take a small child on a kids ride. Paying full price for riding rides just to stand next to your kid on a carousel so they can ride is pretty weak. If you pay for the $10 walk on band, that should suffice. If theyd change that policy then Id 100% recommend it to anyone.

Great place for a family outing...I like, and understand loud music at those types of places, but just turn the awesome music down a couple notches. People cant talk to each other there.

Beautiful place. Our kids had a good time and its right next to the beach!

Loved it. The weather was great today.

It was nice and the view at night with all the lights was cool. All and all a very relaxing day!

Just to view this beautiful landmark was amazing!

Come every year its a blast and theyre doing a great job at cleaning rides between people now

Fun! More rides than I thought. All day pass is pretty reasonable price. I had teenagers with me, so within about 2 hours they were slowing down and getting bored.Tried to do the 5D shark ride but it was across the street from the actual pier and a bit inconvenient for my group, seeing as we showed up about 3 hours before closing.

Actually, Im not sure how this should be rated. We bought tickets at lunch time, and showed up to the Pier at 4:00 pm when they were scheduled to open, but were informed by security that they had decided that morning that they just werent going to open. Bummer. Can I have my money back now?
