Sightseeing

IT'S FREE!!! Runs every 30 minutes. The ferry takes you from Galveston to Bolivar Peninsula. The dolphins know its schedule, and sometimes you see more from the ferry than you might from the Dolphin Tours. Recommend driving on and off. Bolivar was pretty much destroyed by Hurricane Ike, so the closest restaurant is a little over 10 miles down the road over there.

WHERE to begin!?!? You can get lost in the Pyramids, learn all about rainforests and oceans, watch an IMAX movie, go to the beach, walk through the nature trails, the list goes on. You can easily spend an entire day here. Great fun and something for everyone! Plus, I just learned that Tuesdays are Senior Discount days :-) http://www.moodygardens.com/
