I’ve been to this location multiple times and loved it, but this past weekend we had a terrible time. There were 4-5 slides closed which was really disappointing. The website only said 1 was closed and at the gate the sign said 2, but once we got in it was different. For that many rides closed, tickets should have been discounted at least a little. We waited in one line for almost 2 hours when it was only suppose to be a 1 hour wait, because of a malfunction. Then because of the weight limit on another slide they were letting other people jump to the front of our line! Those people should have noticed the limit before standing in their line and then getting to cut us who’d been waiting twice as long. Wasn’t cool at all and a lot of us were unhappy. I definitely don’t think our trip was worth it all. I’d love an email address to contact someone about this please

The park is ok but mostly fun. There were several attractions closed and the staff ranged from indifferent to unhelpful. Our cabana host Kyle was great and attentive but that is obviously a premium service - expect mostly teenagers who dont care or dont know the answer to anything. And people got stuck on the rides while we were waiting in line a bit too frequently for my taste.The most frustrating experience was around the food. There are plenty of options around the park and the food is fine for what it is, but DO NOT purchase the ALL DAY DINING, what a rip off. Sure, its a value if you intended on eating 3+ burgers or chicken tender baskets in a day, but for those of us who cant quite put that much down, it just works out better to pay for the meals you want. Most frustratingly though, when I would try to exchange my $12+ meal for a $6 snack (again, I can only eat so many chicken tendersand was told this was not allowed. I am willing to essentially pay twice the price for a pretzel and this is not allowed?!! Like I said, rip off.Overall, its an enjoyable way to spend the day if you live in the area. If I had to travel far to get here I would be severely disappointed.

We went as a family and alot of fun, just wish they would do some upgrades or new rides. The lazy river has been the same since forever. Nothing new to ride.

Got to go on the last weekday of the season. It was great, the crowds were low, it was sunny then cloudy but warm the entire time so the water was great. Overall the park was a blast even though it was only partially open. The food and drink prices are abysmal, but the lines were short and the food was about a 7 out of 10 . If you lived close this would be great for half days on a season pass and if you brought your own food and drinks. Security was better this year and having not to wear a wrist band is a plus. If you can go before the end of August, it will still be a great time on weekends.

Always a nice place to go to. You kinda want a blast pass to get on all the rides in a timely manner, otherwise youll spend all your time in the lines and may not make it on all the rides. Other than that, its truly the hottest, coolest time in Texas. And make sure to CHECK THE FORECAST, as thunder/ lightning will cause the staff to get you off the rides and not let you back on until 30 minutes after the last thunder/lightning strike.

Even though we had a blast on our trip to The Schlitterbahn, if you cant afford the fast pass, be prepared to stand in line for an hour or more for each of the big rides. We planned ahead of time and did the fast passes and actually rode every big ride and every lazy river. We chose not to do 2 slides, but that was all we missed. Will definitely be coming back and will definitely be doing the fast passes again.

Went on a weekend I expected lines to be long as they were but the wait wasnt bad at all. Staff/lifeguards were nice and friendly. Love this park! Its been over 10yrs since i last went and the thrill and fun is still there. Rides are amazing. Great way to keep cool in the summer.

Hands down the best water park I’ve ever visited! They have ample attractions for toddlers and the older kids. They let you bring in your own food and drinks. They have reasonable gift prices. The lines aren’t terrible. Highly recommend trying out The Falls and Torrent River.

Amazing water park in beautiful new Braunfels. Get here by 1030 to park close. Lines for rides are 2 hrs long in the Texas sun. Bring sunscreen and Gatorade. Buy tickets online to save time and once inside the park claim a bench in the shade. The gift shop has towels,shoes,and more...

This was my second time going with my family and I will not waste my money on this place again. Waiting in line for over an hour was very frustrating. It was a very hot day and some sprinklers would have been nice to help keep us cool. I only had time for 2 rides and we had to spend the rest of the day in the pool and lazy river. Staff is very friendly, no complaints about them. There were changes from the first time we went but it wasn’t any better. This experience has lead me to spend my money elsewhere. Everything is very expensive and the cut lines for rides, you have to pay extra for a blast pass. Totally not worth my time and money.

We arrived at Schlitterbahn excited and ready to have some fun! We were disappointed once we arrived to the treehouse which provided the following misleading description:Cabana Type: LuxuryTreehaus Premium CabanasCost:$475Needless to say, it was anything but luxurious. The staff continuously used our cabana as a short cut and frequently interrupted our time as a family. We even had 2 of the team members ignore our request not to pass through our cabana and continue to walk through it. Not sure what is being communicated to them but when someone pays $525 for a day to relax in a “luxurious” “premium” cabana…. You don’t expect to be disappointed and disrespected by team members who feel entitled to do as they choose just because they work there.Let me paint this picture….in order to pass through our cabana one would have to squeeze or jump over the cones (both were donein order to pass through.Not cool!

Fun family water park with long lines. Your going to need 2 all dayers to cover it. The Blast pass really isnt worth the $$ it costs. Save the long line rides until the last 2 or 3 hours . I would recommend the unlimited food and drink pass. We bought 1 and shared with 3 people worked out well.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. You can tell they make every effort to keep the park clean and tidy. Had a few issues with the Blast pass. Was not told you can only reserve one ride at a time so I ended up canceling the one we were about to get on just as we got to it. The last few hours before the park closed we would reserve rides (20-30 minute wait with passonly to find there was no lines. We could have been on the ride a lot sooner without the pass. I feel the pass should have let us know & reflected a more realistic time. So is the Blast pass worth it? I will let you decide!

The park is Good. But not Great. We’ve been 10 deferent times and this experience was by far the worst. There are no perks staying in their run down apartments or condos. They are high priced. And run down. Before it sold to whoever Owns it now. The rides were longer and less lines. And if you stayed in the park. You got a hour extra play time. Before they opened up to everyone else. And you had access to pools after the park closed. Not it’s just the kiddie pools after hours.

1st time going. We only were able to spend 1 day. We started and decided to end our day in the West Park. Tram wait was not worth the time (~3 hrs). We were able to do all open tube rides, some 2x and a couple of slides. If able to, I highly recommend the premium dining pass as we saved a ton (2 adults, 2 teen girls). We rented a large locker for day ($25). More than enough room for 1 large tote bag and 3 small backpacks.Recommend arriving close to 10am as a line was already formed. We were there until 8pm. Definitely feel we got our monies worth. Want to go back and do the East park.

We are currently staying in the resort for 3 nights. Park close at 8 pm. Resort movie and s’mores is 7-9. So if you decide to stay until the park close you can’t have s’mores and popcorn.Park is overfill, lines for any slide are around 2HOURS! Lines for food are crazy as well.No enough sitting with shade. Bathrooms smell horrible.You can always pay more (besides your tickets and hotel stay, around 600 per night x 6 pplbut if you wanna pay more you can get a flash pass. Ridiculous!Also, food place didn’t have turkey legs, or the right bun, or napkins… still have to pay full amount 😉. And it was not even 2 pm

Unlike any water park youll ever go to. The slides and tube chutes are all unique and completely worth it.

Its a very nice park, BUT quite the RIP OFF. I cant emphasize this enough. They sell more tickets than the capacity of the park can handle. If the park is too full, they should quit selling tickets! For the $60 or so admission fee, you get in and you can splash around in a pool or some other thing that doesnt have a line. For an extra $80 each, you can buy a "Blast pass" to cut your waiting time in line because the line is 2 hours long. Or, for an extra $120 each, you can buy a super blast pass that lets you cut to the head of the line. One beer is $12. There were five of us, and we bought the $60 admission fee plus $80 Blast pass, so our total to enjoy the day was $900, yet I was scolded twice by the same lifeguard for the following: If you want to float around in the endless river they call Crystal River or something, all the employees are trained to tell you that all the tubes are put in the river and will just be floating by for you to grab. That is, unless they had sold too many tickets (which, of course, they did!and there are no tubes available because they limit the number of tubes that are in the water. I am a 100 pound adult, and was scolded by the lifeguard for sitting in a kids tube. There were no adult ones available, and only one kids tube available, so I used it. For $900, and my being smaller than some of the other kids who were using those tubes, I dont believe I deserved a scolding. There were as many people who couldnt get a tube as there were tubes. There was a LARGE pile of adult tubes laying nearby. I saw a young man go to get a couple of them and he was scolded also. They sell too many tickets! I will never go back. While they are training the lifeguards to tell you not to do this or that, it would be a nice idea for them to train the lifeguards not to have "attitude" about doing their jobs. One of them stated their wish nicely. The rest of them were quite rude. I know, its hot outside, and they get tired of saying the same thing over and over, but this wouldnt have to happen if they wouldnt sell too many tickets!!!!!

It was pricey but fun. Old part of Schlitterbahn has too many people to move around on a Saturday. Highly recommend going to the New section instead. Also premium parking is a must!

Such a blast!! Went on a Wednesday, highly recommended, not too packed, wait times were 0-45min, not bad compared to previous visits. Water was clean, bunch of life guards were nice, brought in our own food and drinks (non alcoholicso saved a bunch of money. I do suggest getting there pretty close to if not when it opens if you’re going to bring your own food so you stake out a good shaded table. Otherwise arrive whenever. The boogie board and the wave river is always my favorite. It was my first time doing the Congo water ride, idk how old it is but it was pretty awesome, it has a decent drop which was fun! Be careful, we lost a pair of sunglasses on this ride. Have fun!

We had a great time. We bought the Premium meal plan which allows you to eat/snack every 90 minutes and get a drink every 15 minutes. It is well worth the price. Also, we got the Blast Passes so that we could reduce the time spent waiting in lines. Even with passes, you cant see everything in a day. I ended up losing my sunglasses, so if you wear glasses, make sure to wear the glasses string to keep them on your head!!!!!!!!!!!!

First time there and it was pretty fun. I dont know about driving over four hours in traffic fun. We got a room on the property for a couple nights and would not recommend adjoining rooms with someone else. You get some perks staying at the park but we werent told them. We had security tell us one thing that helped. The lines are very long but they have a thing called blast pass which lets you past extra to cut in line. The thing with that is we were told up front it was $50 a day per person extra. There was four of us so we didnt do it. The last day we were there a guy that worked there said one was good for up to six people. So workers are saying different things. It is rather confusing finding rides. Good luck be patient and you can have fun.

Beautiful place along the Comal River. Rides for all ages and pools to hang out in if you don’t like lines. It was clean and had plenty of tables. Although many of kids employed around the park seemed clueless, there were lifeguards everywhere and they appeared to be well trained and friendly.

Love this place. Worked there when I was younger! Sad they have changed the early hours but there is still no place to beat a family vacation. Season tickets are reasonable and pay for themselves if you frequent the park. They have drink cups for season use and you can bring in your own snacks to the park. Our goal always is to get there 30 minutes before they open and leave at closing. I would say we ride the most rides in the first 2 hours and then find some chill time and then hit up the big rides at the end of the day. Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours. Happy Travels!

It was a lot of fun. However the blast pass needs huge improvements. The wait times are not consistent with actual wait times. It showed 150min wait on the watch, while there was only 45min wait. But other than that, it was a lot of fun.

It was fun for the family! Lines very long probably because of 4th of July weekend! Its pricey but worth it! Have a Funtastic n safe time n take plenty of Sunscreen waterproof SPF 50 n above. I took 100 SPF SPORTS Sunscreen. And dont forget to take your ice chest with water,cokes,juices, Powerade n snacks n to make sandwiches if you decide you want to save some money cause food n soda kinda pricey! Enjoy family time also kids pools n more!

This is my favorite summer activity a few things have changed and if your a old school schlitterbahn fan the change can be shocking. I dont know if schlitterbahn is still in pandemic mode but they have gone completely cashless. The falls has only been open 1 time that i have seen and iv been at least 10x so far this summer. It also made you get out before the conveyor to walk up a huge flight of stairs and they didnt even let u back in unless you walked all the way to where u get in *again only one entrance open when their is supposed to be several exits entrances*The many entrances/exits that the lazy river has only 2 entrances are open the part where you slide down into the water and one exit /entrance on the other side. Alot less tubes are provided as well. The wave pool under the master blaster is not being monitored well and I dont understand what the point of having entrance exits points when its packed to death to the point there isnt even room to be in there. When I had a major safety issue I immediately went to guest services where I was met with dont care additude and then handed a business card when I said no I want this addressed now I got a eye roll. Definitely not the schlitterbahn standards I remember. As a season pass holder Im am actually appalled at the customer service aspect, the life guards are there for a paycheck do not rely on them to pay attention if there is a issue you would have better luck with just another guest seeing issue and helping.one last thing The food has become sub par and of course extremely expensive.Bring your own if you can.

Terrible experience. It was ironically difficult to keep cool when there is 1+ hour wait even for the wave pool. 4 hours here and only 2 rides. Totally ridiculous. They do nothing to keep the folks in line cool. Water sprinkler to keep people cool would be nice especially for how expensive it all is.

First time back in 25 years, it was an absolutely great experience. We got there early so there was plenty of parking, but filled up even before we got out of the car. We were there all day and only went on 11 rides, but had so much fun. You would have to be there for at least 2 days to do all the rides from all 3 parts. Many NOT all of the lines for the rides were quite a wait, but I would say not.more than 45 mins. All the employees I came across were helpful and courteous The only thing that did not impress me was the food. It was expensive and not worth the price. I did not have my phone on me so I only got to take a picture of one of the rides we went on, while we were leaving. The Soda Straw.

To be honest this was my very first time here , according to my wife she has been coming here since she was a child and was very utterly disappointed. The lines were insanely long to get on the slides in all 3 parks, adult drinks were very expensive for the size and choices of drinks. We also took a bus ride to the other parks and the wait for those were an hour, standing directly under the Texas summer sun was not fun at all. This parks slogan is , the funnest coolest time in Texas. That wasn’t it for me my family, more to do at the park would be great because the size of it has great potential for more attractions. More picnic tables would be great for the ones that plan last minute trips and don’t have the money to reserve cabanas like others, so those families spend time walking around the park trying to find a table. Over all it was not a bad trip just wish I would’ve had a better experience on my very first time visiting the park.

Completely appreciate the poolside bar. Took advantage of this luxury with family and friends. One of the rides we were looking forward to was closed which was a bummer. Overall, the lines seemed shorter than what I remember over the years which is nice but also left me questioning….where are the people. One of my favorite things is that you can bring your entire cooler in. We got a cabana for the first time which is now going to be the standard because it was easy to just walk away and leave everything and have a common place to meet our large group. This water park is part of my childhood and I enjoyed getting to share it with my child. Definitely will continue to come back.

I was nervous after reading some of the negative reviews on here that taking my kids would be a huge disappointment compared to my own experience as a kid. Far from it.We arrived at 10:05a on a Wednesday at the East Park. (Park opened at 11:00.There was plenty of FREE parking (not sure whats happening to some of these other reviewersincluding a handful of shady spots. We were still able to bring in our own picnic lunch, and they still open the park about 30 minutes before they open the rides so you can find a picnic table, put on sunscreen, get a locker, etc. Security was much more robust than it was when I was a kid, which I appreciated given the state of things. Also, they dont do wristbands anymore. The park is more enclosed than it used to be so once youre through security, youre free to roam and ride shuttles between the East and West sections.The quality of the park was about what I remember. Schlitterbahn has always had a slightly run-down look to it, but quite a lot has been renovated or is being renovated. Some parts are nicer than they used to be, and some are due for upkeep.Yes, theres some merit to the comments about it being a "money grab" in the sense that there are signs everywhere promoting expensive options to make your day more comfortable or convenient, and it was sometimes frustrating to watch people with Blast Passes (which look like digital watchesmake your wait longer when they show up at their scheduled time to cut straight to the front of the line. However, I didnt feel like the quality or atmosphere had declined at all or that my family couldnt have a great experience without all the extras. There were plenty of staff and lifeguards and I experienced no issues such as them being rude, careless or untrained.My kids loved Master Blaster, all the not-so-lazy rivers, the Raging River tube float, the pirate ship and other kid play areas... It was a worthwhile visit. We left exhausted but happy.

We visited the water park yesterday, Father’s Day. Arrived at 9:20AM. Did our research and decided to go to East side, newer side. Parking for East side is very limited, so you must arrive early. We unloaded our car, and decided to go ahead and wait in line. However we didn’t have to wait in line because they go ahead and let you into the park. Since we were let in early, we went ahead and grabbed the table of our choice. There are a lot of places to choose from. We brought a rolling cart, placed our cooler with all our food and drinks, towels, etc., in the rolling cart, so it made bringing our items with us much easier. We went ahead and got in line for the Master Blaster first since we knew it’s the most popular and longest line, and got it out-of-the-way. Once the rides were opened at 10AM, we literally rode everything on the East side and were in our car heading home at 3PM. The park does fill up, so arriving early is important to have a smoother time. We always left our stuff on the table without any issues. I carried a fanny pack and placed my cell phone in it but you could leave it with your items at the table just the same. My family left theirs. I just felt better that one of us had a phone at all times. Overall wonderful experience and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Prior to the pandemic, my family had stayed at the resort for 5 summers. We did not stay last year (2021or the year before (2020), due to COVID concerns. During this time, it is evident that the waterpark was bought out and there are new owners. We stayed for 2 nights / 3 days, spending almost $1800. One of the perks to staying at the resort USED TO BE that you would get access to the water park an hour early, as well as have access to the water park an hour after everyone leaves - neither of these are true anymore. Additionally, one of the main attractions, The Falls, was CLOSED during our stay. It appears that this ride is only open on weekends. Nowhere on their website does it say this. What their website DOES say, BURIED deep in the site, is this: "*While we do our best to open attractions based on our posted schedule, availability can change without notice." They called me 4 days prior to arrival to confirm that I was still coming - this, perhaps, should have been my first red flag. They did not mention that there was a possibility that rides would be closed but DID make a point of mentioning that early/late access to the park no longer come with resort-stays. There is no discount for staying at the resort, rather than buying tickets for the day, so youre MUCH better off just staying at a short-term rental/Airbnb. We stayed at one of the Riverbend cabins, checking in on a Monday, out on Wednesday. We were not offered an early check-in, despite there being nobody in our cabin. As it turns out, the AC WAS BROKEN, which we only found out because we went to enter, and there were people inside working on the unit. When we contacted Guest Services, there was no apology or explanation - simply a move to another COMPLETELY RUN-DOWN, DELAPITATED unit. The Ceiling fan in the living area was about to come off so we could not use it. The sofa was SO LUMPY that you couldnt sit on it, comfortably. When we opened the sleeper sofa, there were TWO FINGERNAILS inside - GROSS! There were blood stains on the comforter, and very dingy towels. One role of toilet paper for 4 people, staying 2 nights. Utensils were SPARSE - no tongs for the grill. There was absolutely ZERO accountability or offer for any type of compensation for this. We contacted them IMMEDIATELY upon finding out that The Falls was closed, which was the primary reason we were at the water park (we were with smaller kids, and this is one of the kid-friendly rides that adults also enjoyand told them we would gladly leave if they would give us your money back - naturally, we were given the run-around and told that someone would follow up with us - that never happened. We absolutely will NOT be back and will make sure that anyone who talks about going, knows of our experience. We will be quick to direct them to Kalahari, Great Wolf Lodge, or any other alternative to Schlitterbahn. This was a complete disappointment!

Corporate bought out the park which caused changes to impact the nostalgia and ease of some of the rides. Lines were insanely long from opening to an hour before close. We purchased all day food bands which were only honored at certain vendors and with certain food items even if the menu dictated otherwise. I do highly appreciate how everyone respected each others belongings at picnic tables and other seating areas. We felt safe leaving our coolers at a spot and knowing they would be there when we returned.Place to get a summer tan line 10/10Place for family enjoyment 5/10

Was the 10 rides outta 60 worth the heat pain and exhaustion? Absolutely. But was there food and alcoholic drinks prices for the birds? Also ABSOLUTELY. For 2 people 500 bucks is needed to fully enjoy this park. Buy the mega blast pass and food pass. I promise it helps! Cause it really was another amazing time.

Great Waterpark, very big, lots of cabanas for rent, can bring coolers in, lots of shade around the park (major plus point). Lots of places to buy food and drink. Bad point stairs to get down to the park, which makes access with heavy coolers and young children difficult. The majority of staff are very helpful and quick to lend a hand.Will definitely return as it puts other water parks to shame.

It was fun yes for what we were able to experience....but....the lines are way too ridiculously long. Then if you want to get the fast pass to try and skip some of that wait time the fast pass costs way over what a regular ticket costs to get into the park. Its like highway robbery. I expected to pay max $50 per fast pass nope try $75 per person...I couldnt believe that. Maybe I have different expectations for an enjoyable time with the kids but standing in one line for over an hour and a half for a ride that wasnt too exciting was not my idea of fun. Even Disneyland lines go quicker for certain rides. Not here, its packed on weekends no matter what... guess the best day to go would be during the week. The drinks were really great though!

Parking is horrible! We just bought our season passes and it is unfortunate that they do not have any control on their parking! There is 12 illegally parked vehicles blocking us in and they have no one directing the parking spaces and their response is “we can’t do anything and we can not tow” wait so you mean to tell me we have to wait all day for these vehicles to move so we can leave!?? Unacceptable! And their security “Hunter who we asked for guidance on how to resolve this kept misdirecting us to another employee and come to find out he was the one in charge. We waited an hour before he even helped us. Hunter also had the audacity to ask for our personal information to see if we are the actual owners of our vehicles!?? What!!!!? Why would he ask this info!?” He was racially profiling us! I’ve never have been treated so disrespectful and discriminated the way the security team at this location made us feel!! This is a multi billion industry and their security employee Hunter made us feel like this was our problem and as if we had done something wrong. This is unprofessional and unacceptable! They need to do better!! Unbelievable!!!!!!

I love this park. Not many people are aware that its so big you have to take a shuttle to the other side of the park. The one with the extremely tall castle is the more adult friendly one. Theres a pool that has a bar in it and the pool is shallow and small enough that your kids can swim right next to you and its easy to keep an eye on them. Time does pass fairly quickly tho so if you want to ride everything in both parks go on a less crowded day. Some lines can take an hr and most take anywhere from 20-40 minutes. Cell phone cases hold phones and cards. Lockers are digital at a kiosk so no lost keys. Staff is awesome too.

Not too busy, plenty of staff doing an all around excellent job. We spent most of the time in the little kid friendly areas, it was just as much fun as I remember from my own childhood summers here💙

Honestly it was fun, but the lines were ridiculous (2+hours). Probably our fault for going when several schools were there. The bigger water slides were shut down several times due to malfunctions and people kept getting stuck (blurred out faces for privacy).It was a good time because of the people we were with. But I dont feel like we got our moneys worth. Maybe it will be better next time, if we go again.

Im 69 and this was my first time to visit. I have a handicap hanger for my car mirror and use a cane to get around easier if walking a lot, which I used at the park. We were at the original park #1 and I was shocked that there were no protocols for handicap people. There were stairs and more stairs everywhere and no directions for finding a ramp that would take you to the same place ....if there was one. Many rides were not working but there were no signs saying that and we walked needlessly many times to rides that were not working. Even though I had my cane I had to wait in a long line just to get in and be checked and walk through a metal detector. The worker was even surprised and commented on the fact my cane didnt set the alarm off. No, my day was not lost because I had to walk and climb so many stairs......I still had fun with my family. I am concerned that enough is not being done for handicap persons.

Still the hotest coolest time in Texas. Havent been to the original in probably 10 years. So long that my son barely remembers and asked if we could visit. A lot has changed - digital codes to access the lockers instead of a key on a wristband, Google and Apple Pay instead of a wristband of plastic "splash cash" to buy food and drinks. Yet, much remains the same - free parking, the ability to bring in your own cooler of food and drinks, and more water rides and play areas than you can shake a stick at. Ive read recent reviews complaining about rides and unfriendly staff this summer and lamenting the new ownership. This was not our experience. There were a few things that werent operating, which was annoying in cases. However, our experience with the staff was as friendly as it has always been. Its still a great place to spend cooling off during the hot Summer days.

Best water park in Texas. Being going since I was a little girl and will continue to visit every year til I’m old and gray. Great family place. Wonderful atmosphere and best of all they allow you to take your own food in.

What a great place. Loved the original park tube rides and also the coaster uphill slides. I see why you have the #1 water park in the world title. I had no idea it was two separate parks connected by tram. We drove 1200 miles from Grove, Oklahoma. Was a great memory.

First time here. Lines were kinda long for rides but moved steady. Drinks were good and cold. The lazy river with the tubes was awesome and only 3 ft deep however the waves are forceful to propel us forward but can take a small child fast from his family so be careful with small children. Im planning another trip already because I want to definitely go back.
