Kemah Boardwalk

Kids will enjoy the amusement rides: a carousel, a Ferris wheel, Crazy Subs and a
gas-powered train modeled after an 1863 Central Pacific Railroad locomotive.
The C.P. Huntington takes visitors on tours of the boardwalk while the conductor
shares bits of Kemah history. All that amusement is a nice diversion while waiting
for your restaurant reservation.

Many restaurants line the boardwalk. The most intriguing is the Aquarium, which
has a 50,000-gallon tank stretching from floor to ceiling filled with exotic species
from around the world. A three-story circular stairway curves up and around
another tank--15,000 gallons and 35 feet of fish and water. Joe's Crab Shack's
festive party atmosphere makes it the most spirited of the bunch, hands down.
Shopping is fun here, too.
