We had fun here. It wasn't the best, but we really enjoyed the break from the pyramids. We brought our swimsuits and changed into them then played for a while and changed back and were able to go back to the pyramids. They have big changing rooms that make it easy. We will definitely be back to Palm Beach this summer. They have a water spray park, a few pools and my dd's favorite the big octopus slides :-)

If you've never heard of the 1900s storm, you should just leave Galveston or never visit. If you've heard of it and always wondered what sort of damage was really done, you need to see this movie. Pieced together from still shots and other footage, this 20 minute movie puts together the before, during and after. Viewers can truly see what was done, and how far the island has come since then. The price is a little high, but worth it to get a lesson in something so important in Galveston's history.
Bottom Line: Locals and visitors alike need to see this, it's that good.

It is great to have a movie theater in town. We used to have to drive to TC or Baybrook to catch a movie. That translates into not going to movies unless you wanted the great production of leaving the island. For a local to leave the island, you wash the car, and the dog, put on the Sunday best, fill up the tank, empty the bladder, buckle up, books for the kids and then we are off. Notify a good friend where you are going before you hit the causeway.
So having a local theater is a BIG DEAL. The employees are friendly and ready to help any time. They reall keep the place clean, the counter are not cluttered, the bathrooms are nice and smell good, the floors in the theaters do try and take your shoes off with every step!
The popcorn and soda is good, the Large's are re-fillable. You can even put as much butter on your popcorn yourself with a DIY butter machine.
The seats are really comfortable and if you are one of those that moves around watching a movie or if you jump when startled, it really is nice not being jostled every time your viewing partner moves. There is not a bad seat in the house, unless there is a 7 foot giant with an afro, you can see the screen. Big Plus!
The screens are a good size and do not distort the movie, the sounds is surround sound, at least it feels like it.
When I get a day off during the week I like to go to the matinée starting at 11am, there is no one else there, you can sit right in the center and enjoy a movie in what feels like a private theater for only 4 bucks. What a feeling!
I was just at the premiere of "Pirates" Friday night, the first showing was sold out so we bought tickets for the next show and went to get something to eat, came back 10 minutes before it started, it was still packed, we went in a got a seat and then someone went back out and got the drink and popcorn and still got in before the previews started. I did want to see something flashy for the premiere, like a pirate running around would have been cool. This is, after all, Galveston!
If you are in Galveston, stick around a catch a movie!

We have seen a few movies here and while the 3D part is really neat the movies are a tad cheesy. I wish they would show something better. And the few times they have, they charged extra for it. We really did enjoy the Santa movie they had there though, it was cute. We've seen the dinosaur one a few times. It's a good theater, just needs better selection of movies.

We liked this the first time we went, but then it changed into a putt putt course. It was really cheesy. All the holes were in this one room and I felt bad for the people that actually paid to get into it. Then we went back and last time it was something different again. I wasn't overly impressed with the discovery pyramid. IF you are paying for attractions seperately, skip this one.

Considering it's the only theater on the island, it's not bad. If you don't mind driving 15 miles north, you can go to the Mall of the Mainland theater which is much newer and cleaner. Regarding this theater, the screens are small, the chairs are uncomfortable and the theaters are usually dirty. However, there's hardly every a large crowd, even on opening night, and the prices are decent by today's standard.
Bottom Line: If you want to see a movie right away without driving off the island, this is your only choice.
