Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels

"We all had a blast! Loved all the great rides! My grandson has loves wave pools and this one was his favorite, mine also! Great family vacation. We will be back!"

"We went on a Thursday and purchased the Fast Lane band and meal deal. It was perfect! We all got the Wunder Pizza, and it was good--what you'd expect from an amusement park. I haven't been in decades, so we rushed to the blast rides first. I recommend staying at the resort because they allow you in an hour before the park opens. Ride all you can in that hour! The Fast Lane band is a must. The lines were long otherwise, but we got priority. It allowed us to ride almost everything in a day. The lazy river in the blast park is nuts! It's not lazy at all. Don't snooze on that and find the chute along the left side. If you time it right, you can catch air. I'm 40 and a mom, and I was having such a good time acting like a ten year old boy lol If you wanna skip a line, Wolf Pack was a long wait and not really worth it. It's just a 3 person tub type tube with a high-sided pipe. Our favorite rides were Congo River, Whitewater Tube Chute, and Master Blaster. The day we went, the Falls and Cliffhanger were closed due to staffing. The staff was mostly friendly. I chatted with one staff member who did say the guests this year had been terrible, and in the 6 years she's worked there, she's never encountered crowds like that. Maybe that's the reason that the other reviews say the staff is grumpy. Perhaps they've been dealing with rude and entitled people their whole shift or season and they're over it. We had a blast and can't recommend the Fast Lane band enough."

"Schlitterbahn is AMAZING!!!! Their prices and packages are unbelievable… I purchased the $80 or so dollar meal package… which gives you TWO meals a day… every day during the season that you come. Let me tell you, I’ve had brisket plates, pizza, tenders etc. each meal being $15 or so… it pays off within a week of going!!! We also purchased the photo plan which is $45 or so and you get unlimited digital images that they take at the park. I do wish there were more photography employees around the park, but even with that we got well over our money worth during the season. During the week is empty and we love it. Go for an hour or so with my 1 year old and we are set. They have an AMAZING new area for the kids.. slides of all sizes and plenty to get them entertained. Not to mention the season passes go on sale and it’s unbeatable. I’ve grown up here and now taking my daughter is awesome. Oh and you can bring your own cooler with food and drinks!!!!!!!"

"Spent two days at the park. Friday was at the Blast park and Sunday at the original park. It’s been 12 years since we have visited. Glad to come back for a couple of days. Spending the extra $ for the Fast Pass definitely makes a difference. Many places gouge you with $ for parking and $ for food. They don’t charge for parking and they encourage you to bring your own food. They have water activities for the whole family. Thinking about a whole family vacation and staying at the park next summer."

"Make sure you go early in the morning! Otherwise the free parking fills up fast! Or you can pay for parking between $25-$40. Choose to go during the week if possible, if not then be prepared to wait hours in line. It is way too packed, the wait time is about 2 hours per attraction. It’s ridiculous! Also you must take the bus to go to the other water park and the wait time is anywhere between 1-3 hours. Be prepared to wait period. The beers/drinks are way too expensive. We got a turkey leg that was boiled, not smoked and was lacking flavor. They do allow you to bring in a cooler, but it has to be a certain size and they unpack the items in the cooler to ensure you don’t have bottles or alcohol. Doing this causing even longer lines because everyone has a cooler. Make sure to bring snacks, sandwiches and water. It was a fun time overall, but all it takes is one time. Been there, done that and won’t go back. I’d rather just float the river and call it a day!"
