For a family of 5 the price was $44 as a non resident. There is a 2ft deep kiddie play area with its own mini water slide and plenty of lifeguards to reassure the children are safe. There's a nice lazy river not too large but a decent size at 3-4 feet deep. There are 2 big water slides you have to climb stairs to go up! It's pretty awesome I've rode both slides and they're super fun! There's a place to buy snacks and drinks (cash only) you can pay to enter the park with tap to pay or card payment. There are picnic table areas and next door a nice huge park. This is ideal for families, very relaxing, fun music played which creates a summer feel atmosphere. Definitely recommend visiting for families with small children!

It was a lame that they force everyone to wear life jackets now. My kids had their own but for me and many others it was not fun. I heard a ton of people complaining. A couple of the rides we wanted to ride most were out of order so that was a bummer. And some of the workers were nice but more were kinda pushy and mean.

We were skeptical about coming since we've read so many bad reviews but couldn't pass it up on our trip to Galveston. Ticket prices are decent. Now they have the whole first parking lot as preferred so if you don't want to walk a quarter of a mile, pay the $15 for preferred. We never ride any of the rides. We stay in the wave and rapid river. The wave river was super low. The water was a little over 2 ft so I kept scraping my knees on the ground. The waves were also less frequent and subtle than before. The rapid river was closed along with many other rides due to staffing issues. Very disappointing. I did expect to have tons of people because we went on a Saturday but the park wasn't full. None of the employees knew what was going on when we asked questions. Overall our experience was okay but not close to the same as it use to be.

My family and I visited Lagoonfest while on vacation, and as out-of-towners, we had high…read moreexpectations based on the photos online. While the lagoon itself is nice, it didn't quite live up to what we had envisioned. It felt more like a very upscale neighborhood pool with some fun features -- which would've been fine had we gone in with that mindset. The atmosphere was more of a party vibe -- loud, crowded, and high-energy -- which wasn't what we were personally looking for. I had hoped for a more relaxing experience, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Considering the price, I didn't feel it was worth the cost. The cabana rentals were surprisingly expensive -- even more than what we've paid at actual beaches, like in Cozumel. The highway visible in the background also took away from the overall ambiance. In the end, it just wasn't the right fit for our family. For the price, I'd prefer a beach day or a quieter pool where we can truly unwind.

The reviews are kind of low, so I felt I would review it to add a different perspective…read more A water park located in a suburban neighborhood, next to a Buc-ees? Interesting! The crowd was mostly families, but you could go as an adult group or even solo. Glad they have a pretty large parking lot, so no stress on that. Came here for the first time on a bright Saturday AM at about 9:50a. Place opens at 10a. Come earlier than that, because others do too, and the line moved a little slow. They have a bag check you have to pass through first. Then you get back in line and go to the window, show your ticket, and/or buy your ticket. Then get your wristband. And then walk in. So you can only bring in what they allow, boooo, check their website for what they allow and dont allow before going. But I will say, the bag check was kind of light, IYKYK. Agree that the best move is to come early to snag a lounge chair with an umbrella. Umbrellas seem to be few and far between, but if you get there early, you should be able to get one. It doesn't seem worth it to rent the expensive cabanas, even with a group. We saw some groups doing it, not sure if they actually had paid the $300 fee, or were just squatting there until they got caught. I liked that they had a bar with some beer/cocktail options, so they place is adult friendly and kid friendly, lol. They have a food menu too, since you can't bring in food. I didn't order anything, but my friend really enjoyed her burger. They also had a few food trucks as well. That day, they were actually having a Pirates and Mermaids themed day. There was a Pirate folk band playing on their mini stage for a few hours. After that, they had a good playlist jamming on the loud speaker. The actual pool of the lagoon is divided in half. One half is for people to swim. The other half is for the water equipment rentals like the kaiyaks etc. We got to enjoy some stand-up paddleboading. That was fun. The water equipment rental is for 30 min at a time. Besides the wild rowdy kids surrounding us, we had a fun experience.

Not very places that will let you go down however you want. SO MUCH FUN!! We liked it just as much as the boys did. Worth $20/day for the kids to go. We had a cooler in our truck in the parking lot and went back for drinks. Food Truck on site and that was really good too!!! My boys loved the corny dogs and we liked our burger. Got snow cones on our way out. This was our boys (12, 10, 10) highlight of our 2 wk Galveston vacation. They loved it so much that we made the trek on the ferry a few times.

We decided to give it a try. Initially I paid for an hour for each boy, But it didn't take long before I was going back and paying for the whole day! Every year since then the boys say that's the one place they really want to go. Management and staff are wonderful, friendly, helpful people. It's a win-win because the kids get to spend all day going down the waterslide and grandma gets to sit in the shade and read a book! LOL

Also a few vendors like Pet Suites, Rover Oaks, and a few vets in the area. My dog had a great time. However, I do wish they would put some temporary doggy bag stations since not everyone picked up after their dogs unfortunately. Tickets were $5 per dog and comes with a human ticket. Their check in process was quick, a waiver is required to be signed prior to entry. Parking was free and plenty, there were a fee concessions stands open offering funnel cakes, ice cream, fries and tots. I like how you can bring a reusable water bottle to refill using their drink station. My dog had a time running around and barking at everything. May return for future Bark N' Waves events.

I decided not to change my clothes as I felt uncomfortable doing so. I told guest services and they said they would handle it. We came back today, and OMG, the same slats were bent and there were even more openings. people were peeking into the stalls and giggling and laughing. The doors would not lock, so people were opening the doors, exposing 8-12 year old boys to the crowds. finally, I managed to get into a stall, I am an adult, so I tried to change out of my bathing suit into my clothes. i turned away from the door and tried to hold the handle with my hand as the door would not lock. the kids outside the door were laughing as they could see my butt through the bent slats and they were laughing and making comments. and they kept trying to open the door, which I was trying to hold closed...... totally inappropriate. I told guest services and the girl said "ok, I will pass your comments on to management" and then went back to chatting with her friends. the other adults with me reported similar issues, being exposed as others opened doors that would not lock or comments from kids that were peering through the bent slats..... not ever going back here again. and if you go, I recommend you take a buddy to the bathroom to block the door and prevent others from peeking into and seeing you change clothes

Big Rivers is great about offering reasonable pricing for families and they sponsor many nights where they spotlight groups, offering deep discounts. Parking was free. Finding a good parking spot was easy. If you got a special event, bring your walking shoes because there is a lot to see and do. Lots of activities including a petting zoo, carnival rides, axe throwing, inflatables, and more. We like that they have none of the carnival midway games that take your money for a modest prize. They offer lots of food options ranging from carnival fare like funnel cakes to regular food. Prices are what you would expect. The staff is pretty friendly, lots of young people but enough of the older folks to keep things running smoothly. Overall, it's a relatively inexpensive way to celebrate the holidays, giving you lots to do, see, and enjoy without breaking the bank.

Luckily people were finishing up and leaving by the time we were getting settled in. Good to know: You can bring an unopened/sealed water bottle or an empty reusable bottle and get it filled with ice and water inside. Free parking is available at the second entrance and the walk isn't bad at all. There are locker rentals in the bathrooms but also at 2 other locations near the pool chairs. There's only 1 family restroom, that I saw, and the stalls aren't large enough for changing clothes privately and comfortably. So come dressed and leave with an extra dry towel or swim cover lol. After going through the check in we put our things on the pool chair and got in the lazy river. After tubing around we got in line for the water slide. Then we finished up at the wave pool. All were fun and not overwhelming. There were enough pool floats to go around. And the staff were keeping the place clean. Afterwards we grabbed a personal pizza & soda from their stand which weren't too costly. They also have a BBQ restaurant available too. The only unfortunate parts was trying to eat with the yellow jacket bees around. There were so many getting on the food and drinks. And the bathroom not having private changing areas. There were amusement rides available too but we didn't have time for it. Upon leaving, the guy that's often seen on their social media posts (I don't know his position) was waving and saying goodbye to everyone. I thought that was a really nice southern hospitality gesture.
