We had alot of fun here, it could be a bit bigger but it was well worth the money because we stayed all day and there was still plenty to do and the lines were not that bad at all even though it was summer

The week day is the only way to go. The rides were great and all three of us girls had a good time. Just wonderful.

I love water Parks and living in Houston this is a great get away. Do not go here if you are expecting the same size as new braunsfels. But I had an awesome time!

not as big as the Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels and a very confusing layout, but everyone had a lot of fun and the lines weren't bad at all.

Family fun! It was a really nice time but we went off season so there was no line waiting but we'll like to go back in the summer time. The best part is that you can bring your own food/snacks. I loved the swim up bar where the water was warm and relaxation for parents.

We love visiting Schlitterbahn with our children. They offer homeschool discounts and allow us to bring our own lunch/snacks.

During the winter months Schlitterbahn opens their indoor portion of the park. It includes a kids area, a "lazy river," several covered tube rides and even a couple of the bigger freefall rides. It was a great weekend get away for a family with small children (11, 7, and 1).
