My husband and I were season pass holders for 2011 so we definately visited Schlitterbahn quite a few times. We enjoyed the park every time. There is something for everyone! The lazy river loops around the whole park and even ventures into a ride via a conveyer belt if your desire. It has a wave maker in one part of... More

Perhaps the best water attraction I have ever been to ! Sectioned off to provide amusement for all ages--toddlers on up-the park has also installed an indoor park too, for winter fun ! A++ ! More

I guess after spending time in New Braunsfels, this feels like a mini-water park. More

Schlitterbahn Galveston doesn't have the same charm as the original Schlitterbahn, but it is loads of fun. More

I just love that you can enjoy going to a water park in the winter! They have done a wonderful job making sure there are plenty of rides that are heated. More

Spend a day here. Great value since you can bring your own food and park for free. New attractions added constantly. There are 3 areas for young children and 2 swim up bars, where children are not allowed. More

Smaller than it's New Braunfels location, the Galveston park had much to offer. Definitely rent a cabana, well worth the money as there is not a lot of shaded areas to rest. We traveled with an infant and was disappointed that the Galveston location lacks many of the activities for little ones. New Braunfels is preferred for infants and toddlers.... More

This was our first time at Schlitterbahn in Galveston (2 adults and 3 teens). I rented a VIP Beach Cabana for the day. The cabana was nice and in a good location and had plenty of comfortable seating. I also liked that it had a safe right there to lock up our valuables. My main complaint is the cabana service...
