• ✓Lazy river where families can float together on tubes
• ✓Dedicated kids' splash zone with age-appropriate water features and smaller slides

1. 1.Arrive right when they open to claim shaded cabana areas or poolside chairs,they fill up fast on weekends and during peak summer
2. 2.Bring water shoes for the whole family as the concrete gets scorching hot in afternoon Texas sun
3. 3.Pack your own snacks and water in a cooler if allowed, or budget extra for concessions which can add up quickly for families
4. 4.Apply waterproof sunscreen before you arrive and reapply frequently,the Texas sun is intense and reflection off water increases exposure
5. 5.Visit on weekday mornings for the smallest crowds and shortest lines for popular slides

Weekday mornings from 10am-1pm offer the smallest crowds and more comfortable temperatures. If visiting on weekends, arrive right at opening. Mid-June through early August is peak season when all attractions are open, though late May and early September offer great weather with fewer visitors.

Check their website for current admission prices and season pass deals, which often pay for themselves after just 2-3 visits. Outside food policies vary by season. Parking is free on-site, and life jackets are typically available for younger children at no extra charge.

Typically open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, with limited hours in May and September. Closed during school year months (September-May). Best weather is June and early September when temperatures are hot but not extreme. Check for special events like dive-in movies or holiday-themed weekends throughout the summer.

Chuy's Tex-Mex on Cinema Drive is just minutes away and very kid-friendly with a fun atmosphere. For quick bites, Chicken Express nearby offers family meals that are easy for tired, hungry kids after a day at the waterpark.
