Going to be spending about a week in Galveston. Need to know what there is to do/see while I am there. I will be staying on Seawall Blvd, but can drive around to anything worth seeing/doing. Anyone have any suggestion?

Lone Star Flight Museum if you like that sort of thing.

Parts of Moody Gardens are nice--in the Pyramids.

On Harborside drive around 22nd St there is about a 45 min presentation about the 1900 storm--I found it quite interesting.

Of course-fishing, and water type activities.

Multiple drinking locations.

For restaurants, it's all about what you want. I imagine since you're going to the island you want some seafood. If you want a great plate of food at a reasonable price ($10-$18 a plate) go to Casey's Seafood Cafe on Seawall and 37th st. They use the same kitchen as Gaidos (the best and most historic restarant on the island) but they are much more casual (jeans and tshirts OK). If you want to really go all out, then go to Gaidos, but dress nice and be ready to spend ($20-$40 per plate) but it's worth it, it's been open since early 1900 and there is a reason why.

If you are in for some american food (burger, fries, etc) you can't beat The Spot on Seawall near 31st st.

If you want some mexican, I highly recomend the fajitas at Salsa's Mexican Cantina on Seawall and 46th st. Also, for a quieter mexican environment and wonderful platters, The Original Mexican Restaurant is on 14th and Market street back by UTMB, near the Strand.

Things to do:
Tour Ashton Villa (oldest mansion on the island) on Broadway
Tour the Moody mansion (home to the most powerful family ever to reside on the island) on Broadway
Tour the Bishops Palace near the old Catholic Church (We're proud of our old mansions as you can tell)
Go to Moody Gardens and watch the 3D Imax, or tour the Rainforest Pyramid, or the Aquarium Pyramid (89th st and Jones Rd on the Bay side of the island)
Go to Schlitterbahn Galveston (next to Moody Gardens)
Go ride the Ferry to Boliver Peninsula and back
Ride bikes up and down the seawall
etc
etc
etc

All depends on your interests.

Moody Gardens probably tops the list, especially the aquarium.
Take a free ride on the ferry to Port Bolivar and back.
Bishop's Palace is interesting to tour.
Spend a few hours wandering around the Strand District.
Grab a bite to eat (chili cheeseburger, shrimp bun are damn tasty) and a brew at Sonny's. Looks a little shady from the outside, but is definately family friendly.

Thanks for all the responses. Gives me plenty of things to put on the to do list while there. I appreciate it.
