a pier with a roller coaster in the distance

Galveston Pleasure Pier

Galveston, United States

About this place

You can't miss this pier sticking out over the Gulf of Mexico. It’s full of rides like a big Ferris wheel and a roller coaster that hangs over the water. It feels like an old-school boardwalk. You can grab snacks like popcorn or funnel cakes at the stands along the wooden deck.

If you don't want to do rides, you can just buy a walk-on pass. It’s a good way to see the views for a lower price. Most people visit in the evening when the neon lights turn on.
