- THROWBACK EPISODE - This episode originally aired on PBS on October 11, 2012. Some of the locations may have changed. Check thedaytripper.com for the most up-to-date information.
The town of Kemah may be small, but it’s just one tiny piece of the massive establishment that is Houston, and part of the Houston subset known as “Bay Area Houston”, consisting of Kemah, Clear Lake, La Porte, League City, Nassau Bay, Seabrook, and Webster. In truth, it’s very difficult to visit one without visiting the others. And why would you want to? As this area is packed with Daytripper goodness.
The largest attraction in the area is by far Space Center Houston, which is the official visitor’s center of NASA’s Johnson Space Center. The Space Center has been the brain center for space travel since the 1960s. You could literally spend all day here between the historic museum, space games, mission control tours and more. But one thing you definitely don’t want to miss is the Saturn IV rocket which is identical to the ones that took humans to the moon. TIP: you don’t have to buy a ticket to the Space Center to see the rocket, just ask for the NASA side gate that allows admittance to “Rocket Park.”
Ever wondered how the Longhorn became such a strong symbol for Texans? Head to this museum in League City to learn the story of how the Butlers, a ranching family, saved the Texas Longhorn from becoming just another bull in the 1920s. Hook Em.
As the sunsets on your incredible day, follow the lights to the Kemah Boardwalk. where you’ll find all the entertainment, great dining and good times you could hope for. Whether you’re riding the carousel, braving the roller coaster, listening to live music or eating at one of the many restaurants, this place is sure to please. Don’t miss the Friday fireworks.
Your trip to space will undoubtedly bring you back hungry, and Bay Area Houston has some of the best food on earth. For an amazing sandwich, take the astronaut’s lead and head to Hoagie Ranch, which is a favorite among the space walkers and has been serving up good eats for over 20 years. I recommend everything!
For a delicious burger look no further than Tookie’s, where they’re still serving up soda-hop worthy burgers and fries like they have been since they first opened in 1975. Don’t miss out on their famous Pelican Eggs - jalapenos that have been fried, stuffed with cheese and bacon and served with homemade ranch.
Unfortunately, Bubba’s Shrimp Palace has permanently closed since we filmed this episode.
To experience the natural side of the Bay, I recommend a visit to the Armand Bayou Nature Center, which boasts being one of the largest urban wilderness areas in the United States. Since being protected, the wildlife and plant life of Armand Bayou have exploded - this includes the gator population… So since swimming isn’t such a good idea, to explore the bayou you can paddle around it in a canoe or kayak. I recommend a guided pontoon ride and “Breakfast on the Bayou” with a resident naturist who can tell you all about the bayou.

Thinking I gotta spend a long weekend in Kemah soon!
Great Touring. Thank you…
Kemal is amazing these days. Before, from Texas City up to Clear Lake city, there wasn’t much.
You need to go back to Kemah and tbone toms. Ride the roller coaster!!
imagine being the person responsible for dusting the Hogy Ranch!
You got that right. Kemah #1.
Great area to visit. Also the Boardwalk is great.
Woop woop let's see what he shows in Kemah. I personally like the Thai restaurant and the UK Pub restaurant there but what are some other local spots in Kemah we should eat at?
Don't say any of the chain restaurants cause we've all eaten at those lol.
Hi Chet. Thanks for doing my hometown. You always make me smile ; ) Thermos
Great vlog sir thanks keep them coming
aahh cool .. glad you made it in my back of the woods..lol My father worked in Mission Control in the 70's ..
Great vlog!!!
What the heck. The Hoagie Ranch is permanently closed. Bubbas Shrimp Palace is permanently closed.
What a great blast from the past! We'd love to see you back in Kemah to see what's new here. We've got great new restaurants to try out - from an authentic British pub/fish & chips restaurant to great Greek food with a southern flair at Bakkus Taverna. Some of the old favorites are here too. Tookie's has moved over the bridge and is just down the street from the fantastic T-Bone Toms. From burgers and mudbugs to steaks and an award-winning gastronomic expedition, Kemah is a foodie's paradise.
I remember when Kemah was just a smelly town of bait and seafood shops. But, it sure has changed
Enjoy watching your trips, wish those places featured closed would be flagged.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yachtygras!!!!
6 months after this video posted, Bubba's in San Leon is already out of business. 😮
This episode originally aired August 6, 2012. They just uploaded it on RUclips 6 months ago. Used to come on regular TV

Next trip, Point Blank, Texas ?😎
Hilltop ice house. The BEST burgers. Omg. I remember as a kid we used to go there all the time. I wonder if it's still good

There today...
Google says Bubbas Shrimp palace is permanently closed😢
The episide description says it was recorded in 2014.
I bet shrimp can still be found in the area!
It is now Pier 6. Excellent restaurant!!
Bubba's is closed permanently. When did that happen??
The description of this episode says it was recorded in 2014. So, some time after 2014.
They offered Jimmy Walker's Sauce for dipping seafood. I remember Jimmy Walker's. A very nice spot we occasionally visited when I was a kid. I 7:51 think Landry's got its location
Restaurants come and go. I have heard complaints about the dives that once stood on the Boardwalk site. They were OK but not worth tears
Besides the occasional Storn clears things out...
Hoagie ranch and bubba's have closed 😢
No Kemah cuh! 🤣🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I feel bad I have to say this, watching this on the phone and I accidentally hit the dislike button,but immediately corrected that... RUclips should put the dislike button allllll the way to the right😂
Btw,how many fried 🦐 did you eat?👊
The girly screaming just made this video lol
Y'all got a bad habit of showing places that are closed. Bubba's is no more
