"Secluded Retreat"

An April 2003 trip to Freeport by veetown

Quote: When it comes to Spring Break time, you can be right on the gulf and enjoy the many miles of primitive beach and coastal wetlands without the crowds, or still enjoy the area attractions of Galveston, 30 minutes away.

"Secluded Retreat"

Overview

Quote:

Freeport has a place called Sea Center Texas. It contains aquarium and marine life found in the Texas gulf region. It also has a touch tank and fish hatchary. All the oil refinaries are around the Brazosport Area and at night the lights are pretty neat, let alone the miles of pipline. We drove into Lake Jackson for some great shopping and dining. It is a fairly large town of about 23,000. You are able to drive your car on the beach for about 10 miles from the town of Surfside to the toll bridge to Galveston Island. Quick Tips: The Brazosport area consists of 11 communities. If you stay on or near Surfside Beach, buy your groceries in Galveston or Lake Jackson (Wal-Mart, Kroeger, Randalls)....Read More

We didn't dine here but visited the gift shop. Outside they had arcade games, river adventure ride, and local hawaiian dancers/singers to pass the time. All is themed with a tropical jungle flair.

Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa & Convention Center

Attraction | "Moody Gardens"

Quote:

The magic of Moody Gardens is seeing three huge 10 story pyramids as you drive on Galveston Island. One houses an aquarium, another has a rainforest, and the last one is a discovery center like a science station. They also have an IMAX theater. I thought it was a little pricey, but worth it. You can buy individual tickets (varies) or a one-day pass ($24.95).
