While we usually don’t let a little summer rain stop us from having a good time in Galveston, some days you just need to get out of the rain and luckily Galveston is full of great things to do inside, too! Check out 10 of our favorites!
1. Moody Gardens One Hope Blvd., Galveston Tour the Aquarium, step into the Rainforest, discover something in the Discovery Pyramid, watch a 4-D movie and so much more that you might just find yourself wishing for rain!

5. Rosenberg Library 2310 Sealy St., Galveston I just love this library, the oldest in Texas and the kids section is a fun respite on a rainy day!
6. The Bryan Museum 1315 21st Street, Galveston I once heard The Bryan Museum referred to as “A Better Museum then Galveston deserves.”, and while I was insulted at the time, I’ve grown to agree with it to the extent that with so much to do in Galveston, it often is overlooked. There is so much to see here, and rainy day are the perfect time to do it!
7. Nautical Antique Warehouse 2202 Ship Mechanics Row, Galveston I just love looking at all the unique and rare finds here!
