Schlitterbahn Galveston Waterpark
A popular Texas-based water park chain with multiple thrill slides, a man-made river, and a wave pool. A summer favorite for families.
Schlitterbahn Galveston Waterpark is next to Moody Gardens. It is part of the well-known water park brand that started in Texas. The park features the 'Meteor' funnel slide, a water roller coaster that climbs upstream, a man-made lazy river around the park, a surf simulator, and a children's splash zone. Visitors may bring their own food, but alcohol and glass are not allowed. Cabanas must be booked in advance. Day passes cost about US$50 to US$70, and buying online is cheaper. The park mainly operates in summer, and its opening schedule changes each year, so check the official website before your trip.
