Overview
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.
The Experience
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, while the Boardwalk Inn offers a comfortable and luxurious place to settle in for a restful night.

The $6.00 fee is a real shame. By the time we travel from Katy all the way down to Kemah at the cost of gas, we don't want to spend more money on parking. When it was free parking, we felt it was a family event which we enjoyed....No more unless these greedy people change the parking back to fee. You want more customers don't you????

We have been going to Kemah Boardwalk for many years until we find out the parking used to be free but not anymore. It is not worth our long drive to here anymore. Why not making it better than worse. We will not going there anymore. It is not because we can not afford the $6.00. May be it is a sign that the attendance is dropping so they have to charge parking to make it up otherwise it is just like the previous reviewer said it is plain GREED.

I have been going to Kemah for years. It is one of my favorite places to go to for good food and enjoying the atmosphere, but they have lost me as a customer. This review is only to protest that they have started to charge $6 for parking. Greed is the only reason I can think that they would change what was always free parking. My "not recommended" rating only reflects my disappointment in this already expensive outing has become more so.
