    White Water Bay is totally a life saver from the Forever Summer Texas heat as it's a decent sized…read morewater park that's right inside Six Flags Fiesta Texas the best part about it is that you can get into it for free with your season pass or payed park admission! On the day I visited it was 103 outside by mid day I couldn't take the heat anymore and came here to cool off and get my hair wet I must say it was a totally refreshing way to escape the heat of the day! They have a good number of waterslides here as well as having all of them be completely different from the next one definitely the highlight of the slides has to be Thunder Rapids Water Coaster as it's the first of its kind in North America and wow is it fun I've never ridden a slide like this before and I found it to be super fun as well as Wet and totally unique to anything I've ever experienced before as the technology that created this is totally rad and a great way to knock out those huge stair cases! The ground here can get super hot I mean super hot and that's coming from me someone who's always barefoot at waterparks so make sure you bring some sandals or something to keep your feet cool from the burning cement or just try to walk in the shade and water spots to keep them from burning! As anyone who visits waterparks will tell you coming to one can be a great workout as well as a rewarding time as your climbing lots of staircases and getting some swim action in if you choose to do that wile your inside their huge State Of Texas shaped wave pool. The waterpark opened a bit later than the park but it was all good as it was super hot by then and this was much needed the best part about this is that Gold Pass members can get into the Water Park 10 min early so that will definitely save you a bit of time and get you on a few more slides! Overall I really enjoyed my time here at the waterpark as all the slides were fun and I thought it was cool that their wave pool had its unique Texas shape to it as it made for some fun waves and splashes! Stay cool Wet and amazing good people of the Yelp Community in the Forever Summer sunshine!

    Food is WAY overpriced, not just standard amusement park overpriced. Chicken strips are $20, no…read moresides or drink included. There are tons of gnats. People leave their stuff all over the tables and then disappear, so you can't sit down anywhere to eat. There is no shade anywhere over water, so you can't wade unless you are directly in the Texas Sun. If you want shade, you have to pay for it by buying lounge chairs or a cabana. The kids waited in line for about 25 minutes for the ride to breakdown; when this happens, they do not accommodate them by fast passing them later or anything like that, they are basically just told tough luck, try again later. A locker big enough to fit a backpack will run you $17.

    So much fun! This…read moreis a great waterpark for parents of babies and toddlers. Often times, there are not many fun options for smaller children. My 5 year old had a wonderful time, exploring all the options she had. I was so excited seeing how much fun she had running from pool to pool. It was a rainy day, so there was plenty of parking and we walked up to the ticket check in. It was nice that there was a dedicated lined for strollers. We purchased the meal plan which made it worth it for 7+ hours with a party of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids). There were plenty of dining options and the food was pretty food considering it's a theme park. There were very specific rules stated by some of the attendants on the slides. My cousin was told once he reached the top of the slide that he was not permitted to because there was a zipper on his swim trunks. This was confusing because I did not see on the FAQ's that zippers were not allowed on swim trunks. Besides that, we had no snags in our day. It was raining on and off throughout the day, which was nice because there was an overcast, with was nice because it was not too hot. Overall it was a very fun day. If I lived in San Antonio, I would definitely purchase the season pass because it's very reasonably priced.

    Visited the park this past week because we have the free pre school passes and I have a season…read morepass. I was surprised to learn that parking is a whopping $40 for standard parking & Covered parking is $70! My littles and I walked over to the front gate where the security guards were checking the guests bags, which I appreciated. There was a security guard, whose name I will not post, but I will post his initials GV. He was rudely shouting at the guests to move forward or "get out of the way because you're blocking the line" and "move it lose it people".... In my opinion, Seaworld is very much for younger children (despite them offering a few roller coasters). This type of attitude toward guests should not be allowed, and it should certainly not be the first thing people hear when entering the gates... I was there with my two toddlers. I certainly don't want someone yelling at me to "hurry up or get out of the way." That not something you tell a mom who is trying her best, or any family that just paid $40 for parking + $79 per single daily pass, at MINIMUM . I think he should be talked to and reminded he's not a bouncer, but rather a security guard at a kid/family friendly establishment. We arrived early, so we didn't have to wait long to get in, nor did we have an issue finding a seat. Surprisingly, there were plenty of seats available from open till we left, about 2pm. I was appalled at the price of popcorn (+$11) and the taste was terrible. It was HIGHLY BUTTERED AND SALTED. They sold me on the bucket because it's $5 for refills, but that's still a very high cost for popcorn. Next time I will ask them to make fresh stuff with little to no additives. As it is, it's A terrible snack for kids who are out in the sun all day. The water and ice were free, but you have to find a designated stations for it, which can be difficult for any person, especially those with littles. I think it should be more readily available for guests. I appreciated that the park offered different sections to appeal to the population. There were not many tubes at the lazy river and we sometimes had to wait a while before getting one. I would love for their floats to have bottoms so the littles can sit and enjoy. I, also, appreciated that the lifeguards were available in abundance and seemingly took their job seriously, as I didn't see them playing around or talking and such. I loved the family restrooms and the cleanliness of the restrooms because I understand it can be a challenge in Waterparks. Overall, I would go again and recommend it, but I would caution against the excessive unnecessary costs (parking & snacks/drinks). Overall, my score is based on the security guard at the entrance, and the extremely high cost of everything... which I suppose is expected at a waterpark. I did not get photos because I wanted to respect the privacy of the attendees.

All the rides are perfect for kids and overall one of the best water parks I've ever been to I would say the best if you go to Texas San Antonio, you have to go here older people in there are really nice if you do go Not only to drink couple help but getting pass passes for everything if you get the bands, you get a ride everything with a fast pass only once though sadly I hope the owner of the park notices this because this is really a great waterpark and the mascot is a dog so that's my favorite animal so really good should go recommended and when I went everyone, there seemed really happy and none of the rides cost money unless you're trying to get the fast band also go on the dragon ride or one of the only roller coaster water parks which has a roller coaster that is only involved with water and it's awesome but when we went, there wasn't the longest water ride. It wasn't available, but if it is to you, you should go on it.

One stared at me blankly and pointed to a QR code. When I told her my phone was locked in the car, and asked what to do because I obviously can't scan without a phone, and there's no reentry. She just stared at me and pointed to the QR code. I honestly thought she was on herion. ( My neice autistic neice was in full meltdown because it was her birthday, and she lost her glasses on one of the rides). When we first got there, we went to customer service, to get the autism passes. I'm neurodivergent, and my neice is 16 and autistic. Her mon,brother's friend came as well. The woman at customer service looked like a deer caught in inheadlights,when asked about the passes. Then refused to give them to us. Then changed her mind and gave us each 1. It was only good for 1 ride. We were supposed to go back to the customer service booth after each ride. The first ride, had no idea what to do with the passes. When we went back for the next ride, the refused us a second time, and only gave us 2. We told them to keep them. I've been to many amusement and watermarks, with my neices ( I have 2 both ironically are fully autistic. ) I live in Illinois and visiting. I would not recommend this for anyone with autistic children or family members. It's the least accommodating place I've ever been.

The Atlantis water ride was really cool! The orca show was educational and entertaining. Food was ok, not too many vegetarian options other than beyond burger or pretzels.

While some of that debate may still exist, I was pleasantly surprised by how much there actually is to do & how fun & engaging the scheduled shows are. SeaWorld ended up being an absolute blast for me & my family! There was so much going on that it was hard to know where to begin. We went to the beluga & Pacific white-sided dolphin experience, then the sea lion talk where we watched the sea lions dance & do tricks, which was really fun. One of the highlights was the Imagine Ocean puppet experience. It was a glow in the dark, super immersive, & honestly magical experience for me & my kids. We also went to the orca encounter, which was such a delight. They have splash zones & it was hilarious watching the killer whales jump & flip in the air while the crowd got unexpectedly soaked at certain moments of the show. Also be aware, if you plan on sitting in the "splash zones" during the whale, dolphin, or sea lion shows, I suggest wearing a bathing suit under your clothes & bringing a small towel because you will get soaked depending how close you are sitting in the front. However, the splash zones are clearly labeled on the seat backs so you will know whether you are considered within range of getting wet to determine whether that's a good fit for you. We sat in the splash zone on our first orca experience but farthest back of the splash zone & still got a good soak, but the folks down at the front were drenched in water. When it's a hot day that sounds refreshing, today when we went it got quite windy & cold toward the evening so we opted to steer clear of any & all splash zones. They have a huge playground area for kids, which I'd estimate is great for children under about age 12, plus a separate playground for the younger little ones. There is a wide variety of food options like ice cream, burgers, cupcakes, & carbonated drinks. I would describe the food as pretty mediocre, & it is definitely expensive. You are allowed to bring water bottles into the park but no outside food or drinks. We brought my daughter's sippy cup with milk & a backpack & no one questioned it. I definitely recommend bringing a backpack so you have somewhere to keep your belongings, although the park does offer lockers near the entrance if you do opt to store your stuff. I also suggest downloading the SeaWorld app. It's super helpful & easy to use as it gives you up to the minute daily schedules of what events & shows are happening by the hour. There was also a plethora of rollercoaster rides for those who enjoy a thrill! Even though we did not ride any of the roller coasters this visit, it was still fun watching people climb up the massive tracks before the big drop & hearing everyone scream with excitement as they flew past. The way the park is laid out puts you pretty close to many of the rides, so you get a great view of them even if you are not riding. If you think you will go to SeaWorld at least twice a year, I would suggest going with the annual pass. More bang for your buck. A single day pass starts at $50 & goes up from there depending if you add a dining experience to your day pass. Right now during spring break you can get the basic adult annual pass for $99, which includes access to their aquatic park. Kids under 5 are currently offered free annual park passes. We grabbed two for our kids. The free kid passes do not include the aquatic section like the adult pass does, but you can add that for roughly $39.99 per child before taxes, which is still very reasonable. With the basic annual pass you do not have to pay for parking, & there are higher membership tiers that include dining & merchandise discounts that may be worth the cost depending on how much you plan to eat inside the park because the cost of food & drinks add up quickly. For example, we bought one electrolyte drink like a Powerade & it was about $9. A small Dippin' Dots ice cream cup came out to almost $15 after tax & tip. Something else to know is that every time you check out at a register there is a tipping option. I usually tip because I worked in the service industry before so I have a soft spot, but I can understand how it might feel excessive when every single purchase asks for a tip, even when someone is just ringing you up for a drink. My advice is to eat before you arrive so you are not relying too heavily on park food. Also definitely bring your water bottle. Overall it was an amazing experience, especially for the kids. They were thrilled by the whale, dolphin, & sea lion shows. It was entertaining for the adults too. We laughed a lot & had a great day. Giving SeaWorld 4 stars because the cost of food & drinks is egregiously expensive when you take into account tipping for every purchase. Costs add up quickly even with having a pass. That said, we will definitely be back.

We paid extra for the VIP / fast lane. Did not know we had to pay an extra $14 a person to attend the water park. All that money to not realize it was not included.. the fats pass lanes were pretty quick. Staff were friendly! Food is mediocre. Very pricey but it's expected with a theme park. The food areas in the waterpark areas were severely under staffed at one point only had two cashiers. For a day like 4th of July where both parks were at capacity by 3pm they should've planned more accordingly. We really enjoyed exploring and the size of the park. It seemed to be a lot more spread out than the one in California. Also seemed to have room to grow. We wish all ride lines had shade and were interactive like the Joker ride.

We purchased our tickets online to attend the July 4th celebration, but nowhere on the website did it mention that viewing the fireworks required an additional $17 admission. It also failed to mention that the fireworks wouldn't begin until 11:00 p.m. When we tried to get answers, no one seemed to have accurate information. Employees directed us to Customer Service, while Customer Service referred us back to employees. Unfortunately, no one was able to provide clear details, leaving many guests confused and frustrated. The experience was made even more frustrating because supervisors blamed the marketing department instead of taking ownership or providing solutions. It was clear they had very little knowledge of the actual park experience, event details, or what guests had been promised. Rather than helping resolve concerns, they shifted responsibility, leaving customers feeling ignored and unsupported. Guests shouldn't have to navigate conflicting information or excuses when they simply want accurate answers and good customer service. What made the situation even more disappointing was seeing so many people turned away. In previous years, guests were able to walk in and enjoy the fireworks, but this year's additional charge caught many by surprise and resulted in a lot of unhappy customers. The one bright spot was the fireworks themselves. The 360-degree view from inside the park was absolutely spectacular and made for an incredible show. While the fireworks were well worth seeing, the lack of communication and poor customer service significantly took away from what should have been a memorable Fourth of July experience. #SixFlagsFiestaTexas #MySixFlags

    Why 3 stars? Because it wasn't our top choice, but it got the job done…read more --- --- --- I wanted to take a family trip to San Antonio when the Cleveland Cavaliers were playing the Spurs. I was in no hurry to book our accommodations and just kind of got around to it eventually, where I was sad to see that our top two hotel choices were completely booked. I was confused as to why this was happening, but quickly came to realize that the Final Four was in San Antonio that same weekend. Welp! To the Hyatt Regency Hill, we went! We booked this hotel because it was listed as one of the more kid friendly options in the area. Again, "one of", aka the third best. As soon as we arrived, we headed to the pool and lazy river, which were fun, but I was pretty annoyed at the 48" inch requirement for the water slides. Our 6 year old son is 43" and has done much bigger slides at other water parks and even at our community pool. 48" was definitely overkill. Positives: We definitely enjoyed, and took advantage of having a full kitchen, washer/dryer and an actual bedroom with a pull-out couch in the living room. The property itself was definitely very nice, overall. Negatives: The bed was way too soft for our liking and the pillows were cheap. And the shower door would catch on the tile every time you opened it. I would not hate a situation where we had to stay here again, but I wouldn't seek it out.

There are so many amenities and activities available for all ages, and the park is very clean and well maintained. It was obvious that improvements are continually being made throughout the property, and the staff was consistently friendly and welcoming. The cabins were comfortable, although the beds could be upgraded for a better sleeping experience. For guests staying multiple nights, it would be nice to have refreshed towels and linens offered during the stay. While the activities were a lot of fun, more information could be provided regarding attractions such as the zip line and Cliff Carver. It often felt as though guests were expected to already know where to report and what the rules and procedures were. Check-in was also a little confusing, as it was not immediately clear where guests should go upon arrival. One area that could use clarification is the golf cart rental policy. The wording regarding check-in and check-out times was somewhat confusing, particularly for guests who do not rent a cart for their entire stay. This created some frustration when carts could not be picked up earlier in the day fully charged. Overall, Camp Fimfo is a fantastic vacation destination with plenty of family-friendly activities and a great atmosphere. With a few improvements to communication and guest information, the experience would be even better.

She worked with our preplanned schedule and helped keep all the kids entertained, which made a huge difference for everyone.
