We always have a great time very time we go to Schlitterbahn in Galveston. Love the lazy river, white rapids, and the wave pool! Plus the waterslide rides are fun for everyone!

It would be great if it wasn't for all the people. Perhaps the park is too small. We are accustomed to the Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels which gets a 6 on a 5 point scale and it is much bigger and more spread out so it doesn't seem so crowded. Galveston is small and cramped. Not a big fan.

This little brother of the huge one in San marcos is almost as good. While its not quite as big, its still HUGE and probably bigger than any park yovue been to (everything is just bigger here in Texas). Its well life guarded and a wide variety of rides for all ages. One feature I really like is they let... More

I love that it is available indoors so the weather is not a factor. We planned this as part of a trip and found out the visitors info book we had did not have the correct dates and the place was closed. I did go a previous time and enjoyed it greatly. A little pricey but fun if the weather... More

kids really enjoyed the lazy river, which is not so "lazy" on one of the routes you can take - it makes giant 4 foot waves. It was really fun

Used the indoor water park. Was very impressed by the friendliness and hospitality of all the staff, from the lifeguards to the gift shop workers. When we accidentally realized we had a glass container in our food bag they even provided us with a styrofoam one to replace it, rather then making us throw it out. The park was well... More

Great for people who don't want to wait in lines all day @ a park. Lines if any go quickly as there are multiple launch points for most of the same rides.

I took the kids twice last year and both times they had a blast. I actually enjoyed it myself. We went on a weekday so the crowds were not too bad! We went at the beginning of the summer and the end of the summer 2012 and neither time was too crowded. i probably would have given it an "excellent"... More
