Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels

We have our season passes and each summer the kids love it even more. Schlitterbahn has truly become part of their childhood, the kind of place they’ll look back on and smile about. From the lazy rivers to the slides, every visit is full of laughter, sun, and memories we’ll always treasure! It’s clean, safe, and the staff is always friendly. Definitely our favorite summer tradition!

We went first weekend of September. No wait time to enter and didn’t wait long at all for rides. I was fun and organized. I you need locker there were 3 different size locker. You can take your cooler and food. Also we were told that there was no shower but clearly there was one in the restrooms by lockers and we used it.

We arrived 20 min before they opened on a Wednesday and bought tickets online. We got in no problem and no wait. We heard that the east side park had the big water slides my kids were excited about so we decided to hit those first. That was a big mistake. My boys waited in line for ONE of those big slides for TWO hours. Not exaggerating. My daughter and I were in line at the other slide for an hour and a half. So by 1:15, we had only been on ONE thing. We are from out of town and didn’t bring coolers so we then waited in line for over THIRTY minutes to spend $115 on coldish not great burgers. So by 2:15 after being there at 10:45, we only had been on one slide. My kids were pretty discouraged and didn’t feel like it was worth the $350 we spent on tickets for the 5 of us. We decided to skip the big slides as they just weren’t worth it and we did the tube chute ones. They were really fun and we enjoyed them. We also enjoyed the lazy river which also was like a wave river. They thought the wave pool wasn’t awesome as it was really small and not that exciting as we have big ones where we are from. I think overall it was a bit disappointing as we traveled a ways and spent a lot of money to wait in long lines. We will not be returning.

Some of the rides are a bit unkept, but it’s totally worth it. It’s so much fun! And if you get a season pass with Fiesta Texas you get access to both.

Fun family water park .. Really huge with multiple slides - great lazy river - ample of shaded seating ..! Plenty of attentive staff The only drawback is the food - very limited options - we ordered the pizza with breadsticks ; pizza was ok but breadsticks were hard and dry Chicken sandwich with waffle fries was so hard - like stone really so inedible Overall great all day fun spot - just make sure to bring your own food here ..! Nice shuttle transport from one park to the other

I have fond memories of one of the best water parks in Texas, this one in New Braunfels, between San Antonio and San Marcos. Used to go there at least once or twice each summer with the family for several years. Lines could be long sometimes but there were plenty of other rides or water to jump into in case we didn't want to wait in line for everything. Best time to go there was when they first open up, then you have first dibs on anything you wanted to do. One other thing I loved this place for, was you can bring your own food into the place and eat at any of the provided picnic tables. I guess because it was a resort too, though we never did the resort option but sure seemed to be great for tourists who were visiting Texas.

highly recommended experience for this summer! The food is a bit pricey, but the good thing is that you’re allowed to bring your own, which is a big plus. Also, it’s much better to buy the tickets online — they’re more affordable and it saves time at the entrance. Overall, everything was great: the atmosphere, the attractions, and how well everything is organized. Definitely worth the visit!
