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.

The price is great for $5 pp during the week and $7 pp on the weekends. I took my 7 month old daughter and 8 mo th old nephew here last weekend and we all enjoyed. Although there wasn't much they could do independently, we loved that it wasn't busy and the kids could enjoy some pool time. We tried rinsing the kids off before leaving but were grossed out by the bathroom. The curtains had mold and as a mother with a little one who has sensitive skin and allergies, that was a no for me. However, it's kind of expected at water parks so that'd why I still gave this place 4 stars.

Why 4 stars?

We were walking in at 11:10am, just after they opened. We set our stuff down on a table near the entrance and headed to the first set of slides. Because we were there early on a weekday, there were no lines at all. We would talk up to the top of a tower and go right down a slide. As it turned out, it was pretty much a waste of money to grab the express passes because we only needed them on one tower (two slides). And had we known that, we would have gone to this tower first and really not even needed them at all. Every other group of slides either had zero wait, or didn't have an express lane. And unfortunately, MASSIV was closed, and as far as I could tell, that would have been the best ride. We did every slide in the park in the first two hours and then hung out for a while in the lazy river, which wasn't so lazy. I really enjoyed it, especially after climbing 40-50 stories worth of stairs to do all of the slides. I don't know that we would need to come back to Schlitterbahn again when there are other closer waterparks to us, but we were happy to try another new one that we hadn't been to before. One thing I'll note: we attempted to walk around barefoot, but the concrete was absurdly hot. I am no concrete engineer, but it seems like a waterpark should do something about that. Paint the concrete? Treat it? Add more shade? I don't know, but the answer shouldn't be: leave it all natural and 100% exposed to the elements. At the very least, leave little stations at the base of rides for sandals, because you weren't allowed to take your sandals on the slides, but there was also no place to really leave them, so we just kind of dropped them at the bottom of the stairs and hoped they would be there when we came back.

We visited in early June on a weekday to avoid the crowds, and that strategy paid off. Lines were…read moremoderate during peak times but never overwhelming. The park recently changed ownership again, and it showed -- the staff was super friendly and courteous, but operations were still a bit uneven. Food service was slow, and a few areas seemed understaffed. One employee was literally running between two slides, and at another attraction with tubes, no one was stationed at the bottom to keep them circulating. Guests were holding onto tubes for repeat rides, which caused some frustration. We rented a cabana and bought fast passes. The cabana was comfortable, but with plenty of shaded picnic tables available, I'm not sure it justified the price. Same for the fast passes -- the crowds were light enough that we probably didn't need them. Next time, I would wait and gauge the crowds before buying. Bathrooms were impressively clean. Several rides were closed for maintenance, including Massiv, the park's signature attraction. Torrent River was advertised as a high‑thrill lazy river, but the wave maker was down, turning it into a very mellow float instead. Staff couldn't say whether the wave feature was being repaired or if it would return. A few areas looked worn and could use some attention, but nothing that ruined the day. Even with the hiccups, we still had a great time. There are plenty of fun rides, and we're hopeful the new operator can bring the park back to top‑tier condition.

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.
