Making Learning Fun

The Galveston Children’s Museum Learning Center is so informative and enjoyable that kids don’t even think of it as learning. The Museum’s interactive exhibits encourage creativity, inventiveness and resourcefulness. The museum also features local builders, artists, educators and crafters.

Join an Easter Egg Hunt

Galveston Island is well known for their Easter Egg hunts. One constant is the Easter Egg hunt at Seawolf Park where plenty of eggs are to be found along with some special eggs. Who knows, you might even see the Easter Bunny.

Stewart Beach & East Beach

A Galveston getaway is always a great idea – particularly if you arrive as the beaches are opening. Spoiler alert: If you’re reading this that’s exactly what you’re doing. Both beaches are must-see destinations for anyone hoping to soak up the sun and grab some beach fun, and both opened March 11th.

Stewart Beach is Galveston’s premier family-friendly beach park, names as one of the “10 Best Beaches for Families” by Family Vacation Critic. Located where Broadway meets the Seawall, Stewart Beach has all the amenities you need for a family fun day.

Located on the eastern tip of the island, East Beach is home to a pavilion, boardwalk, and entertainment stage as well as restrooms, showers, chair and umbrella rentals, and a children’s playground. Unlive most Galveston beaches, alcohol is permitted at East Beach.

Take a Private Tour of the Bryan Museum

The Bryan Museum always delivers. Whether it’s a stirring exhibit showcasing the history and culture of Texas cowboys or the thoughtfully-curated collection on display at the museum year-round, you can always count on an intriguing experience inside this must-see museum. What’s more, the museum is available for private tours, allowing you and your fellow visitors to leisurely peruse the halls and absorb the art and history at your own pace.

Making an Artist
