Moody Gardens Playground – Visiting Houston Area Parks, One Week at a Time

Address:   7 Hope Blvd, Galveston, TX 77554

I know, I know, this is not a Houston Park. It’s not even a city park. But it’s free to visit, right on the water and a good addition to your visit to Galveston Island!

Right behind the Moody Garden’s Rain Forest and Discovery Pyramid is a little playground by the water. The pyramids have admission fees, but you can walk around them without a ticket.

Park for free at Moody Gardens, walk around the pyramids and you will find an awesome walkway by the water. There is a butterfly garden, fountain, lots of benches and a cool ocean breeze.

In this spot you can find the playground next to the Colonel Paddlewheel Boat.

The playground and walkway do not require any tickets and the Moody Garden restrooms are also available without a ticket.

The play structure is in full sun, but has unique lilypad  bridges, stair steps to a fireman pole, slides and more.

After your stop at the playground, you could explore the pyramids, the ropes course, the waterpark, the close-by Flight Museum,  the many beaches, the Ocean Star Drilling Museum, the Railroad Museum… and much much more!
