Galveston Island, off the coast of Texas in the Gulf Coast, is a quaint and unique city where visitors can enjoy amusement park rides on the water at Galveston island Historic Pleasure Pier and go hiking or bird watching at Galveston Island State Park.

On Easter Saturday, visitors and locals alike can check out Moody Gardens, an iconic amusement park with three glass pyramids and even an aquarium, for a free day of hunting for Easter eggs, taking photos with the Easter bunny, and playing games for a variety of prizes. There will also be a delicious buffet at Moody Gardens on Easter Sunday, and many other great brunches offered around town. Galveston is 1 hour from Houston.
