Schlitterbahn Galveston doesn't have the same charm as the original Schlitterbahn, but it is loads of fun. More

I just love that you can enjoy going to a water park in the winter! They have done a wonderful job making sure there are plenty of rides that are heated. More

Spend a day here. Great value since you can bring your own food and park for free. New attractions added constantly. There are 3 areas for young children and 2 swim up bars, where children are not allowed. More

Smaller than it's New Braunfels location, the Galveston park had much to offer. Definitely rent a cabana, well worth the money as there is not a lot of shaded areas to rest. We traveled with an infant and was disappointed that the Galveston location lacks many of the activities for little ones. New Braunfels is preferred for infants and toddlers.... More

This was our first time at Schlitterbahn in Galveston (2 adults and 3 teens). I rented a VIP Beach Cabana for the day. The cabana was nice and in a good location and had plenty of comfortable seating. I also liked that it had a safe right there to lock up our valuables. My main complaint is the cabana service...

If you are wanting to hit up a waterpark and you are already in Galveston, go ahead and go here. Its fun. But if you are driving longer than an hour to get here, go to the one in New Braunfels. Its way bigger and nicer. This one is old and it shows its age. Not alot to ride either.... More

I'm sure other reviews go into a lot more detail about the park so I won't be repetitive. The day we went the lines were not bad at all until noon and then they got a little long, so get there right when it opens and you can walk right onto the different slides. The "lazy river" was the best... More

Schlitterbahn Galveston is a nice getaway. We visited at the end of the main season and staff and facilities were still in good shape. Much different from the original park, this park is just right for a hot Summer Day outing. We'll be back. More

We live in New Orleans and this was a quick get away before school starting. We really enjoyed the park. It was clean and the staff was friendly. It is a small park and you really only need 1 day but it's worth while staying all day. Lazy river is awesome. !!!!!! More
