Top 6 Texas Water Parks

1. Schlitterbahn New Braunfels

Texas' original - and best known - waterpark, Schlitterbahn, is located in the Germanic Hill Country town of New Braunfels. Taking advantage of the natural surroundings, most notably the hilly terrain and clear, cold Guadalupe River, Schlitterbahn offers visitors a unique and fun-filled way to cool off beat the Texas heat during the summer.

2. Splash Town USA

Splashtown USA offers over 20 acres of water slides and pools to help you beat the summer heat while visiting San Antonio. The park includes over 50 rides and other fun activities such as basketball and sand volleyball.

4. Wet-n-Wild Waterworld

It certainly gets hot in El Paso. When it does, cool off at Wet-n-Wild Water Park. The park has been entertaining El Paso area residents and visitors for over 25 years and boasts numerous pools, waterslides and more than 200 shade trees for keeping cool out of the water.

5. Lost Lagoon

Located inside of SeaWorld San Antonio, Lost Lagoon appears to be just that - acres of surf, sand, and palm trees right in the heart of San Antonio. It is a perfect spot to spent a little time in the tropics without ever leaving the Alamo City.

6. Schlitterbahn Galveston

Popular Texas waterpark Schlitterbahn has added a third location - Schlitterbahn Galveston Island. Like the other Schlitterbahn parks, Schlitterbahn Galveston Island features plenty of unique and innovative rides. However, unlike any other waterpark in the world, Schlitterbahn Galveston Island is 'convertible,' offering outdoor fun in the summer and indoor water rides during the winter.
