Pier 21 Theatre

Waited 10 mins for someone to show up at the ticket counter… walked around found no one so we just left… so disappointing… was recommended by the museum next door

Loyd works here too! Great guy nice Place. Saw both movies back to back. Fell asleep during first one :/​lots of details.

Good movies, Very interesting. Plays two separate shows, one about a pirate (18mins) that shows every hour on the half hour and a show about the great storm of 1900 (27mins) that runs every hour on the hour.

Conveniently located at Pier 21 right on Harborside drive (next to Fisherman’s Wharf and Joe’s Crab Shack). Well maintained facility, clean, straightforward directions for each film playing — The Great Storm ($ 5) and Pirate Jean Lafitte ($ 4). Takes credit cards, cash, or in some cases checks. Was surprised that there’s no discount offered for AAA. Also, I had a $ 1 off coupon but left it in hotel and they did not honor even though they were aware of the coupon. Front desk attendant was polite and professional and efficient. Answered several patrons’ questions quickly and fully. Limited lobby seating available. The Great Storm film lasts for 27minutes, and shows start at the top and middle of every hour. Last show begins at 5pm. Cozy films room seats about 50 – 60. Very, very informative and sobering film about Galveston’s history. We left with a greater appreciation for Galveston as a major port, and rich history of determination. Also, we were impressed by the feat of engineering that is the Seawall and grade increase of the city.
