Hight rate 19 location for tourist in Galveston, TX, USA
06-2025 Scallywag Air in Hight rate 19 location for tourist in Galveston, TX, USATexas City Museum - Texas City Tudor Teodorescu: Texas City Museum has one of the most beautiful and detailed model train displays. I spent 2 hours admiring the sets. The other exhibits are also worth visiting to learn about the history of Texas City.
Halfmoon Shoal Lighthouse - Texas City Bruce K.: A replica today, this lighthouse stands along the levee known as Skyline Drive. It is a scale model of the actual Halfmoon Shoal Lighthouse which was located about 2.5 miles of the Texas City shore line from 1855 to 1900. Sadly, a storm in 1900 caused a steamship to break free from its moorings and it drifted into the structure, destroying it and killing keeper Charles K. Bowen.
This replica has several signs with historical and geographical information. Its worth a stop as you explore Texas City. Note that Skyline drive is a one-way route so when youre done here, its a full loop back around to access the dike.
Bay Street Park - Texas City Bruce K.: Bay Street Park is, yes, on Bay Street and that means theres a great view of the Houston Ship Channel and the Texas City Dike from here. A large park that includes backstops, fishing piers, soccer fields, a sand volleyball park, walking trails, covered shelters and both portable and permanent restrooms.
I had a nice walk around, a bit of sunshine, a lot of onshore breeze. There is plenty of parking here.
Rainbow Park - Texas City Erwin Keith (Vaelkyrie): This is my kids favorite park. They ask to go here every weekend. Two sets of swings, a couple different play equipment areas. Always plenty of other kids to interact with.
Lagoonfest Texas - Texas City Martha McKenzie: Fun in the Sun for All Ages!
Lagoonfest was such a blast! From the moment we arrived, the energy was vibrant and the setup was perfect for a day of summer fun. The water was clean, refreshing, and the activities were nonstop — from obstacle courses and paddleboarding to lounging under umbrellas with a drink in hand.
There were plenty of food options, music, and spots to chill when you needed a break from the sun. It’s the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation.
Whether you’re going with friends, family, or solo, Lagoonfest is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back for more sun, splashes, and good vibes! The swimming area is not deep. It’s probably 3 1/2-4 feet. The only deep water 10 feet is where the activities (obstacle course, kayaking) are.
Texas City Prairie Preserve - Texas City David Snow: This is a beautiful place, however this could be better kept if they got the funding, but this is Texas and the environment isnt taken care of that well for economic reasons..
When I volunteered there, progress was slower than it should have been. I had some ideas to better the place and get things done, but they want to run it the way they want to...Whatever, I hope it all works out.
Best of luck to Aaron, the workers, and the TNC!
Kemah Boardwalk - Kemah FATIMA HAQ: Came here on a Monday afternoon and it was fun! Not many people so there was hardly any wait. We loved the roller coaster, wheel of fire and Pharoah ride! Vanilla Ice cream cone at the funnel cake shop is delicious. Two of the rides were under maintaince which was slightly disappointing…overall it was a fun experience
Carver Park - texas city - Texas City Paul Love: Very nice and peaceful at the park for early morning fishing. First time fishing at the park. Caught a few nice size fish. (catch/release)
Garza County Historical Museum - Post Amy Behm: This is a little gem!! So cool. I learned so much about Post, Tx and Garza county. A great place to spend an hour in yesteryear and gain a greater appreciation for this little town and its heritage and its direct link to the rest of America today! Come to find out CW Post (Post cereals) and daughter Marjorie Merriweather Post (the wealthiest woman in US at the time and original owner of Mar-a-Lago) were its founding roots.
