    Note: we are Season ticket holders. This water park is a great experience for me and my family. We have children ages: 18, 16, 13, 6 & 2. There are a lot of shaded areas, lockers, picnic tables, tubes, soda/icee locations, restaurants, etc. As a season ticket holder you can bring in a cooler (27” x 16”) which is great. You can bring in your own personal bottle and you can fill it up with water. I’ve found the staff to be friendly despite being in the hot Texas sun all day. If you want close free parking come early. I look forward to going back!

    Parking is horrible! We just bought our season passes and it is unfortunate that they do not have any control on their parking! There is 12 illegally parked vehicles blocking us in and they have no one directing the parking spaces and their response is “we can’t do anything and we can not tow” wait so you mean to tell me we have to wait all day for these vehicles to move so we can leave!?? Unacceptable! And their security “Hunter who we asked for guidance on how to resolve this kept misdirecting us to another employee and come to find out he was the one in charge. We waited an hour before he even helped us. Hunter also had the audacity to ask for our personal information to see if we are the actual owners of our vehicles!?? What!!!!? Why would he ask this info!?” He was racially profiling us! I’ve never have been treated so disrespectful and discriminated the way the security team at this location made us feel!! This is a multi billion industry and their security employee Hunter made us feel like this was our problem and as if we had done something wrong. This is unprofessional and unacceptable! They need to do better!! Unbelievable!!!!!!

    First time here. Lines were kinda long for rides but moved steady. Drinks were good and cold. The lazy river with the tubes was awesome and only 3 ft deep however the waves are forceful to propel us forward but can take a small child fast from his family so be careful with small children. I'm planning another trip already because I want to definitely go back.

    We started this trip with an excited experience but turned out with little disappointment. Trust me its not to ruin your holiday mood but to consider these points to make your trip planning better. And these points mainly applicable if you visiting on a weekend/holiday where heavy crowd is expected. Visited on a weekend morning. Arrived around 10am but it was around crowded that time with all parking slots filled up. Now we had to book in premium parking Secondly no shade for entrance crowd for security clearance, lot of people with kids are standing under hot sun. Wish management does something for crowd management or atleast an shade. Secondly every ride gets super busy/crowded and wait time gets multi folded. As well interacted with multiple people, at max you can do 3/4 rides in a park out of 2 parks Its better you get 2 day pass if plan to visit both the parks. Better suggested to visit on weekday or non crowded days for better enjoyment, a personal suggestion

    Still the hotest coolest time in Texas. Haven't been to the original in probably 10 years. So long that my son barely remembers and asked if we could visit. A lot has changed - digital codes to access the lockers instead of a key on a wristband, Google and Apple Pay instead of a wristband of plastic "splash cash" to buy food and drinks. Yet, much remains the same - free parking, the ability to bring in your own cooler of food and drinks, and more water rides and play areas than you can shake a stick at. I've read recent reviews complaining about rides and unfriendly staff this summer and lamenting the new ownership. This was not our experience. There were a few things that weren't operating, which was annoying in cases. However, our experience with the staff was as friendly as it has always been. It's still a great place to spend cooling off during the hot Summer days.

    Thank you Schlitterbahn for the best summer! Buying a season pass was well worth it. I was there all summer having a blast. The negative is a blast pass is a must if you wanna have fun. The lines are too long!

    Was the 10 rides outta 60 worth the heat pain and exhaustion? Absolutely. But was there food and alcoholic drinks prices for the birds? Also ABSOLUTELY. For 2 people 500 bucks is needed to fully enjoy this park. Buy the mega blast pass and food pass. I promise it helps! Cause it really was another amazing time.

    Beautiful place along the Comal River. Rides for all ages and pools to hang out in if you don’t like lines. It was clean and had plenty of tables. Although many of kids employed around the park seemed clueless, there were lifeguards everywhere and they appeared to be well trained and friendly.

    It was fun for the family! Lines very long probably because of 4th of July weekend! It's pricey but worth it! Have a Funtastic n safe time n take plenty of Sunscreen waterproof SPF 50 n above. I took 100 SPF SPORTS Sunscreen. And don't forget to take your ice chest with water,cokes,juices, Powerade n snacks n to make sandwiches if you decide you want to save some money cause food n soda kinda pricey! Enjoy family time also kids pools n more!

    Not too busy, plenty of staff doing an all around excellent job. We spent most of the time in the little kid friendly areas, it was just as much fun as I remember from my own childhood summers here💙

    It was a lot of fun. However the blast pass needs huge improvements. The wait times are not consistent with actual wait times. It showed 150min wait on the watch, while there was only 45min wait. But other than that, it was a lot of fun.

    First time back in 25 years, it was an absolutely great experience. We got there early so there was plenty of parking, but filled up even before we got out of the car. We were there all day and only went on 11 rides, but had so much fun. You would have to be there for at least 2 days to do all the rides from all 3 parts. Many NOT all of the lines for the rides were quite a wait, but I would say not.more than 45 mins. All the employees I came across were helpful and courteous The only thing that did not impress me was the food. It was expensive and not worth the price. I did not have my phone on me so I only got to take a picture of one of the rides we went on, while we were leaving. The Soda Straw.

    Seems very disorganized. Got there right as they opened but in order to get the blast pass that was paid for online, you have to go to the main entrance and wait in line to receive the wrist bands (for us it took almost 30 minutes of waiting) which seems so counterproductive. The blast pass is like a reservation and you can only make one reservation for a ride at a time. I get that it’s probably meant to not abuse the privilege but we were only able to utilize it on 4 rides the entire day. There needs to be so much more signage around the parks in general, it’s so easy to not know what you’re doing or where you’re going unless you are a seasoned member. Also, asking for directions or how to get somewhere you could get 4 different answers from 4 different employees. Just disorganized. Also, we brought several beach towels, there’s really no need if it’s hot outside. We dried off before we even made it to the shuttle because it was so hot. Also, water shoes/socks are a must! If you have older kids make sure you’re starting at the right park, we started at the wrong park which seemed to be geared more toward younger kids.

    Great time for the family. Love the free parking and bring your own food and drinks option available. Highly recommend to wear water shoes . Plenty natural shades in picnic areas.They force you to get off at the end, which is reasonable. Line for this was about 30 minutes. Line to get into the wave pool area was longer (can't just walk into the wave pool area anymore). No line to get into the lazy river in the kids area.

    This place is awesome. It is always so busy though. If you can go during the week it’s a little easier. Two parks one price.

    Completely appreciate the poolside bar. Took advantage of this luxury with family and friends. One of the rides we were looking forward to was closed which was a bummer. Overall, the lines seemed shorter than what I remember over the years which is nice but also left me questioning….where are the people. One of my favorite things is that you can bring your entire cooler in. We got a cabana for the first time which is now going to be the standard because it was easy to just walk away and leave everything and have a common place to meet our large group. This water park is part of my childhood and I enjoyed getting to share it with my child. Definitely will continue to come back.

    I went on a Saturday with my family. Very beautiful, clean and family friendly water park. Water tube rides aka lazy rivers had different themed courses and thrill levels. Water slides were enjoyable. There were long lines but they were fast moving. Every ride we went were worth the wait and money. We were able enjoy it more than once. Definitely recommend. ❤️

    Been coming here every year since the 80's. This year was the worst and dirtiest yet. We rent a cabana every year since they started and the one this year was disgusting. We pay so much for this and the tables were dirty the chairs were full of a red sticky substance on the cushions. It wasn't swept and yesterday's trash was still under the seats. As much as they charge it should be a lot better. It's going the way of splash town. Don't waste the money.

    We had a great time. We bought the Premium meal plan which allows you to eat/snack every 90 minutes and get a drink every 15 minutes. It is well worth the price. Also, we got the Blast Passes so that we could reduce the time spent waiting in lines. Even with passes, you can't see everything in a day. I ended up losing my sunglasses, so if you wear glasses, make sure to wear the glasses string to keep them on your head!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good place to hangout with kids and families. I could only cover one park(east). There is tramp service to shuttle to west park. If you take a blast pass then you can enter all rides without queue and cover both east and west park. Which will save a good amount of time.

    We had so much fun! I grew up in San Antonio, but live near Dallas. It was so exciting to bring my kids back and to see all that has changed since I was last here in the late '90's. We stayed ALL day and could've spent a few more days. The Falls was, by far, everyone's favorite ride, but the classic, Raging River, was still amazing. We can't wait to come back!

    By far our favorite visit this summer!! A little disappointed with the lack of organization trying to buy the meal passes for the day. It took an hour and repeated visits to get our correct meals. It was 107 degrees the day we would hear a lot of people had the same issue with being able to refill their drink cups. It is so important to stay hydrated with this heat. There should be more stations available to accommodate. Two people passed out from dehydration. That being said, we had a blast. We loved both parks and all of the fun rides. We took the tram to the original park and fell in love with the wave pool. It was a BLAST!!!! We hope to be able to go again!

    So much fun for all ages. I’m pregnant so couldn’t ride too many rides but we still had fun. The Kristal River was awesome. Kids loved the Falls and the kiddie area in the original park.

    Great Waterpark, very big, lots of cabanas for rent, can bring coolers in, lots of shade around the park (major plus point). Lots of places to buy food and drink. Bad point stairs to get down to the park, which makes access with heavy coolers and young children difficult. The majority of staff are very helpful and quick to lend a hand. Will definitely return as it puts other water parks to shame.

    Honestly it was fun, but the lines were ridiculous (2+hours). Probably our fault for going when several schools were there. The bigger water slides were shut down several times due to malfunctions and people kept getting stuck (blurred out faces for privacy). It was a good time because of the people we were with. But I don't feel like we got our money's worth. Maybe it will be better next time, if we go again.

    My family and I enjoyed our weekend getaway. We stayed on the property so enjoyed early and late use of a few pools.

    Park was nice but we we're disappointed to find out when we got there that o ly half of the park was open 2 kid areas. 4 big slides and a circle wave ride along river , one of the staff said that they don't have enough staff to work once summer is over so that's why they have to close half of it, after summer is over. Good thing was that it wasn't stupid packed. You have to park and ride a shuttle to the entrance which went quick and smooth. Overall would like to go back when the full park is open.

    Dip n dots, the swim up kiddie pool and bar with strong daiquiris, free refills on souvenir cups. The water slides are strong enough to take your glasses, hats, and contacts off 😂. There can be long lines but there is something for everyone. The wave pool lazy river is my favorite. Get there early for the MasterBlaster. The shuttle goes between the two parks. Brought a cooler for sandwiches. Water shoes so our feet didn’t get scorched. They have early bird hours and late night hours for people staying by Schlitterbahn. This made the vacation!

    I recently visited Schlitterbahn on June 10th after a long time, and I was delighted to see that it still retained its glorious charm. Despite it being a weekend, I was pleasantly surprised that the crowd wasn't overwhelming. The wait time for the Master Blaster ride was only one hour, which was a really surprise since in my previous visit it exceeded two and a half hours. My kids were incredibly thrilled and enjoyed every single ride. While a few rides had some crowds, most of them didn't have long lines. Moreover, the entire staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. They wore smiles on their faces even in the scorching heat 🥵. I truly applaud their dedication. I highly recommend this water park to everyone.

    Nice facility. Great rides. Entry fees are a bit outrageous 2 adults. 1x16 yo, 1x15 yo, 1x13 yo, 1x11 yo. $575. Never again! And. Do NOT get your food or refreshments at the Lagoon Grill. Extensive, unwarranted wait. Otherwise. Super Nice water park.
