Pirate Splash pad was a hit for the kids under 7, older kids had fun push the littles on the floating croc. The older kid attractions aka the Slides were intense in speed. Tucking your chin is a must if you don't want whiplash. lol Food was good here, serving sizes are large. So me and the moms got away with ordering kids meals. All and all, I'd come back.

We had a dedicated area with two picnic tables. Lots of kids there that day. Lots of chloramines in the air. My biggest complaint. Chloramines are chlorine that has bonded with organic matter and chloramine gas is released. It does not indicate cleanliness. That cannot be judged by smell but smell does indicate no free chlorine is available to sanitize. The odor was intense. It burned your eyes. It stayed on your clothes and hair afterward. The entire drive back home to DFW I was smelling chloramine and I never got wet. Anyway. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Birthday boy loved it. His friends loved it. We didn't get in the water. We were being checked on frequently by staff. The water wasn't deep anywhere that I saw. You could see the kids easily. Slides and lots of typical splash pad things. It was a nice little place. The only complaint was the strong smell. We didn't buy food there so I can't speak to that. Overall it was a nice indoor splash park so despite the intense smell, I'm giving 3 stars.

Not a big deal. We got there and they wouldn't honor it. Ok, they've definitely done it before for us because I remember. Both of the employee stories didn't match up, okay - no big deal. Our kids wanted to play - we still paid. First irritating thing. Next? The lifeguards are selective (and not really paying attention to your kids so BE AWARE, THERE ARE TONS OF PLACES THEY CAN STILL DROWN HERE!!!!!! ) with who they want to yell at, also they don't really know what they're yelling at for because telling my child's father that he couldn't go down the small slide, even though it did not say no adults on that particular slide and our son is small/was scared to go without his Dad waiting first at the bottom. I guess because he was on the heavyset side of things she was trying to suggest he was too heavy when in fact, he was not, and there were bigger people going down it. So yeah the teenager "life guards" will body shame you. Watch out. Lastly.... The place has BLACK MOLD absolutely everywhere... as well as green mold/algae growing on steps, TONS of anti slip treads ripped off causing kids to slip (not to mention all the broken pieces of equipment), get hurt....even though they're in a rush to push customers out right at 6 o'clock sharp, if not before if they get the chance. Because they half ssa squeegee the floors so make sure you don't leave your shoes on the floor otherwise they'll end up in a puddle of water where they push all of it around from trying to hurry up and leave instead of doing their job properly and waiting for everyone to leave before they start cleaning/closing. It's a shame that the owners have let this place go downhill so much considering how much they still charge and the water was definitely not 82°! We saw one little boy with his lips blue and shivering. Save your money go elsewhere, this place is not what it's cracked out to be. Oh, and then charging like $20-$25 for an eight dollar pizza from Domino's is pretty diabolical too.

Love this place. Except the water level at Travis lake keeps going down so the walk down to the…read morewater keeps getting longer and longer each time I come back. The water feels a lot warmer too. Make sure to bring good shoes, it's a bunch of rocks going down, and it can get pretty difficult if you aren't prepared or if it's your first time. Always make sure to bring sun block because unless your at the top where the trees are at, there's no shade near the water and you will burn. If you do stay by the trees, I bring a hammock which works great, you'll be comfortable. Bring a bunch of water and a float, it gets deep in the water real quick. I always see a bunch of people with goggles, but I feel the water isn't as clear as used to be. I heard from a friend that's never been here that there's "sections" to hippie hollow, some people go far down, some stay near the entrance, etc. I'm unfamiliar with all that, but I do suggest you going with someone who you feel safe with because the perverts will always be there, and it can get uncomfortable if you're not used to being nude in public. Besides that though, most liberating park in Austin, definitely recommend you go and get a full tan.

Doing that limits the amount of people entering at once and allowing for a more enjoyable experience.

It was a bit chilly the morning we went and the water was freezing. I still went in! I wanted the full experience and I got it. The way the water in the pool meets the rock formations is breath-taking. As is the rest of the park. It was a nice area to hike and breathe in nature.

A little slice of paradise, right outside of Austin! I went for the first time with my family and…read morefriends this past November and because we stopped by off-season, we had the entire grotto to ourself for a beautiful, tranquil thirty minutes. I was immediately taken by the blue-green water, so clear that you could see dozens of catfish living their best life right underneath the surface. Outlined by a limstone canyon, I felt like I was an extra in a movie. I'm not someone who usually swims when the weather is any less than 90 degrees, but the lagoon was so beautiful I could not resist jumping in. The water was cool and refreshing -- and I'm sure there are some types of health benefits from all of the natural sediment in the water (at least that is what I told myself). Things to note: - Bring cash to park - Bathrooms are clean, use before getting on the trail - There is a short hike from the parking lot to the grotto. It was a little challenging but my three-year old did it in a pair of crocs with no problem. - Bring towels, a small blanket to sit on, and snacks - No lifeguard, but there is a really friendly ranger who is happy to tell you about the history of the area and answer any questions - In the past several years they have had to close down certain parts of the grotto due to falling limestone. There is also no waterfall due to lack of rain. Be nice to the planet, climate change is real. Hope this area will be around for my children to enjoy in the future.

To top it off, the have the diving boards to get out all your high flying energy. We will definitely be back all summer long.

They have a lot of picnic tables and chairs to lay your stuff at while you swim. They have a small kids play water park with slides and a bucket that dumps water. It looked like fun but since I didn't have a kid with me, I didn't venture to that side. Overall, this pool is great and I would come again!

If you are looking for a place to take the little ones for some outdoor water fun, this may be your place! This location is a short drive just past ATX to Leander. This Splash Pad was built in 2011 in a former quarry and is surrounded by natural rock, which provides a really unique, pretty atmosphere. There are fountains and sprinklers of all shapes and sizes as well as water cannons, a waterfall, a little slide, a mini climbing wall, a sandbox, and plenty of picnic tables, too. This location offers many foundations that kids can have a blast in. There is ample parking, and the admission is only $2.00! Note* As this location was a quarry, water shoes should be worn by both the littles' and their 'bigs'.

He told us that Bob Wentz Park was known for sailing, windsurfing, scuba diving, and picnicking.

However, do not expect the beautiful coral reefs like in Hawaii or Caribbean islands. Bob Wentz has an large selection of picnic tables, benches, and grills for grilling.

Loved watching the groups of ducks swimming and feeding the hungry catfish waiting by the dock. Lake Travis is known for everything related to water. Fishing, boating, swimming, camping. It is one of the clearest lakes in Texas. It supplies water to nearby Austin. Like fishing? If you are lucky, you can catch a variety of bass, catfish or sunfish. Remember the Alamo. Lake Travis is named after William B. Travis. During the Siege of the Alamo, Travis wrote the Victory or Death letter pleading for reinforcements. When Travis and his colleagues were defeated, killed and burned, it made him a martyr. He was only 26 when he died. "Remember the Alamo" became a battle cry for Texas Independence.

It's about time I review this beautiful Texas hill country lake. I first layed eyes on lake Travis…read moreexactly 50 years ago. All of our lakes in Texas( with the exception of Caddo) are man made. Travis is one in a chain of lakes snaking through the hill country and known as the highland lakes. Some of our man made reservoirs are prettier than others, depending on the surrounding natural topography,geology etc. Travis sits on top of limestone and as a result is normally very clear with a beautiful terraced and rocky shoreline. Steep hills of oak surround the circumference. It's a very long lake with hundreds of bends and coves. My initial visit was to scuba dive the clear waters,which I did in summer of 1975. There was only one other person on that part of the lake that day. Hardly any homes had been built out here and the 45 minutes drive from Austin was mostly desolate and undeveloped. Jump forward a mere 50 years and the place is unrecognizable. Every hill is covered with homes and the drive out feels like any other suburban area. Well,Travis is full again for another cycle. It's a beautiful lake and everyone that lives here and uses it is ecstatic. But more importantly,Travis is one of the main water sources here and it was threatened. This new relief will hopefully give the powers that be time to develop a better water conservation plan for the area.
