Though it is one of the top things to do in Galveston for kids of all ages, Pleasure Pier is the perfect spot for preteens and teenagers. With an assortment of shops, restaurants, midway games, and amusement rides, older kids can spend an entire day here when they need a break from the beach. From the Iron Shark Roller Coaster to the Cyclone and the Texas Star Flyer, the thrill rides will have your teen soaring over the Gulf of Mexico. A variety of games, including Big Shot Hoops and High Striker will test their skills and allow them to win fun prizes. When they are done playing and riding, several shops and restaurants allow them to cool off and unwind after an exciting day on the pier.
