VACATIONS

Texas’ Schlitterbahn Waterpark in New Braunfels is a playground for all ages and has earned Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Award as the World's Best Waterpark 24 years in a row.
Schlitterbahn has activities around every corner. Swimmers can take a dip, float, or stand in the pools, complete with swim-up bars, so you can get refreshment in the water.
Guests can relax on a lazy river or head to the slides, the pipeline, or the body surfing areas. Little kids have plenty of places to safely play while older kids seek adventure.
The waterpark has seven different types of accommodations. If you want to stay close to the action, check out the Treehaus suites and the Riverbend cabins.
The waterpark operates from early May until mid-September. It may only be open on the weekends at the start and end of the season, but it is open every day during the summer.
