Welcome Aboard! Galveston Naval Museum is home to two Historic Naval Ships listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Touring both the USS Cavalla and the USS Stewart, you'll learn what sailors and submariners ate, where they slept and how they worked together as a fighting force during World War II. We are more than a WWII museum. We are an educational center and unique venue for Ship Sleepovers, private events and special occasions. Our Mission: To PRESERVE the historic integrity and authenticity of our ships. To REMEMBER and HONOR our Greatest Generation who sacrificed so much for our enduring freedom. To EDUCATE all generations about American history, U.S. Navy heritage and innovation, and the courage of our military heroes and their families.

The park is seperate from the military display area, so there is a parking fee. It is wonderful they were able to rescue and preserve these historic ships. The sub is very well preserved but the destroyer escort is suffering from rust issues. It is still worth the visit and to read their story. It is called Seawolf Park in remembrance of a WWII sub that didn't return. The compass on the ground has plaques of all the WWII subs that are still on patrol.

Great place, we went in and used computers in the lab. Staff was wicked nice. Bathrooms are clean. They offer copying and printing for a small fee. Free parking on Sealy St or out back.

You can find these tree sculptures throughout homes in Galveston Texas. These pieces of beautiful art are made from trees that have been damaged from different hurricanes that have impacted the area! One of my favorites is the Tin Man and Toto.

A really enjoyable time for the kids! The guides are friendly, safety conscious, and informative. Cost is normal pricing for horseback trips. You can do half-hour or hour rides on the beach. Beautiful views. There is a rider weight limit, which I think is 220 pounds. Definitely worth the experience

The Shops at the Marketplace is a vibrant & unique marketplace showcasing art by many local artists plus antiques, clothing, home decor, jewelry, candles, gifts, candies, plus much more. To round out your experience stop in the 3 Doors Down Bar within the Marketplace and enjoy a cold beer or tasty glass of wine while shopping or enjoying our spacious front porch & watch the harbor ships go by.
