Pro Tips
- 1.Arrive right at 11:00 AM opening time on weekends to snag prime cabana or shaded lounge chair spots before crowds arrive
- 2.Bring reef-safe sunscreen and reapply frequently,there's lots of sun exposure, and consider UV-protective swim shirts for extended play
- 3.Pack water shoes for the whole family as pool decks get hot in Texas summer heat and they're required on some attractions
- 4.Weekends get extremely busy during peak summer; consider visiting on Sunday afternoons when families start heading home earlier
- 5.Bring your own towels, snacks, and a cooler to save money, as outside food is typically allowed at most municipal water parks
