Galveston Pleasure Pier is set to open Memorial Day Weekend!!

What an exciting new place to enjoy the water breezes and lovely views Galveston Island has to offer. Pleasure Pier is a great tourist attraction and it will bring jobs and money to the island.  The goal is to make the pier a destination similar to Chicago's Navy Pier, the Santa Monica Pier and Coney Island's Luna Park.

It is a goal to make Pleasure Pier a well known tourist destination nationwide. It is located where the devastated Flagship (Impacted by Hurricane Ike) once sat jetting out across the Gulf of Mexico. The project is projected to cost $60 million and no corner will be cut!

The pier will be packed with restaurants, rides, shops, games, live music and entertainment. rides will include a 36-foot diameter, double-decker carousel and a 100-foot tall Ferris Wheel, and for the more adventurous, a steel roller coaster with a 100-foot vertical climb, 200-foot tall swing recognized as the highest ride in Texas and classic bumper cars for adults and children.

Developers are adding a 500 space parking lot across the street. The city is also working on adding a shuttle system for hotels and motels along the island.

The costs for the Please Pier activities are as followed:

  • Pier Pass: $10 for adults (48" and up) and $8 (48" and under); ride tickets sold separately
  • All Day Ride Pass: $25.99 for adults and $19.99 for children
  • Family Four Pack: $84.99, which include two adult and two children all-day ride passes
  • Individual Ride Tickets: Tickets start at $3.50 per ride

 

As always if you are interested in buying or selling real estate give me a call today! If you are looking to relocate to the area, Pleasure Pier is one more reason to come to the Southeast side!
