Nice place but always visit with planning and early. Parking is a huge issue and getting boats at festivals is a major bummer. Waiting can go easily beyond 1 hour … need to have a better crowd management… otherwise worth a watch for Texas
We visited the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa and got a bonus of seeing the Gunilla which was in Port. We talked to a couple of the Elissa crew who just graduated from school and would be a part of her crew that will take her out to sea.
The Gunilla has students from Sweden learning how to sail the open ocean. The group that was on board was heading back to Florida on Monday and then home as a new group of students was coming out to take over. It was very interesting to see the ships being maintained and in complete working order.
Really cool place to visit and take advantage of the museums and dolphin tours.
I stayed at the hotel in Pier 21 and walked around the pier for a while it's a great place to try delicious food and a good place to stay if you have a cruise that leaves from that port. I would definitely recommend a visit.
We have had a great time each time we have come here. There are constantly different types of events going on here and even if there aren’t any going on, there are plenty of things to see and do here.
We decided to explore and discover a new area of Galveston that we had never visited before. This area was lovely to walk through even on a rainy day. The view across the water is gorgeous, and the area with fishing boats was so cute to see. We also saw a large wooden ship that looked like an old pirate ship and many interesting things to look at. There are lots of restaurants in the area as well and close to the historic strand area. I will share some pictures here as well highly recommended for all ages.
The crew were awesome! Great personalities and excellent with children! They were incredibly informative and made sure we got to see dolphins! I love these guys and will happily book with them again in the future!
We didn't get to experience all of the places that Pier 21 had to offer so I can't comment too much. We were there for the Dolphin Watch excursion so we just walked around for a little bit to sight see. It was very clean and not as busy. Parking was $20 max but compare to other cities, it's not that bad for a day parking. The public bathroom was a little hard to find, but ask for direction and you'll get there. Plan for at least a day here with at least 2-3 activities if you want to make the best of your parking.
