If you like waterparks, you'll love this place! I definitely recommend starting your visit at Blastenhoff as the lines are really long for the main attractions. Once you've tried those, you can easily navigate the lines at the original Schlitterbahn. Plan to spend all day because there is plenty to do for all ages. More

Plenty of trees to block the sun, variety in rides was good and VERY friendly staff who didn't appear to hate their jobs or their customers. Great for all ages. More

My husband and I had a blast! The tube rides are awesome. The new rapids ride, the Falls is a lot of fun. We went during the week, so it was less crowded. We love that you can bring in your own cooler and there is no fee for parking. More

My wife and I decided to go because of all the great reviews. We had a good time, but it was super expensive for the value. The good: they let you bring your own food and drinks (no glass or alcohol). Plenty of parking. Easy access into the park. Friendly staff. A few very fun rides. A ton of stuff... More

Visited with 4 adults and 4 kids (4, 7, 8, 9 years old). This place is 1000% fun!!! Spend two days there, and still did not try all the water slides. The Eastern part of the Park is newer, and a bit cooler than the older Western Part of the Park. Spend the first day in the Western part, and... More

There's a reason Travel Channel voted Schlitterbahn as the best waterpark in the country - it is a lot of fun. I actually prefer the older part of the park - with the tube rides, but probably because I remember them from high school (too many years ago) - Lots of fun on a hot summer day! More

Great water park for every single family member. Most parks do not allow you to take in your own food and non-alcoholic drinks...at Schlitterbahn you can bring your ice chest full. Yes, it may seems expensive, but it's not. You'll want to return time and time again. I was born and raised in New Braunfels and buy a season pass... More

My husband and I (both 25 at the time) lived near Fort Hood and decided to take a little weekend getaway to San Antonio. After seeing Schlitterbahn consistiently listed as the top water park in the world on Travel Network and such, we were dying to give it a try. I grew up in Orlando, so water parks are a... More
