The Kemah Boardwalk is a 60-acre Texas Gulf Coast theme park in Kemah, Texas, approximately 30 miles southeast of Downtown Houston, Texas. The Boardwalk is built entirely along the shores of Galveston Bay and Clear Lake. The complex is owned and operated by Landry's, Inc., and has restaurants, rides, midway games, a boutique hotel, a charter yacht, a 400-slip marina and shops. There is no charge to walk on the boardwalk. Tickets are sold for rides.

History

Landry's, Inc. acquired property along the Kemah Waterfront in 1997 and opened the Kemah Boardwalk in 1998. In 2007, the Boardwalk Bullet, a high-speed wooden roller coaster opened on the boardwalk. The 96-foot-tall, 3,236-foot-long roller coaster is built on a 1-acre footprint, making it one of the most compact roller coasters in the world.

A new source published on December 27 of 2012 stated how an evacuation happened because of a device that was spotted on the boardwalk near southeast of Houston on Galveston. The police got everyone out safely and said it was just a military device.

The missing body of a five year old by the name of Fiona was found in the water near the Kemah Broadwalk. She was last seen on the marina dock with her father before going missing. There was no foul play found in the autopsy.
