Why 4 stars? Because it's not the best waterpark we've been to, but it did the trick…read more --- --- --- We visited on Thursday, July 2nd and are very glad we opted to go on Thursday instead of Friday, as we noticed Galveston was a lot more crowded on Friday, which was a de-facto holiday for most people. 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.

I encountered a very unprofessional and rude young staff at the refresh station near the entrance…read more I was mistaken for taking the wrong drink that's not part of the ticket i bought and instead of saying excuse me to get my attention, the staff repeatedly demanded me rudely, " you can't, you can't, you can't!" And i looked at her surprisingly. She then commanded me, " pour it back..!" like I was stealing something from the store. It was very humiliating in front of a bunch of customers staring at me. I reported this to the manager and they said they would send someone over. I still enjoyed the park later on but it was just unexpected and bad experience to be treated with disrespect.

Okay, the professional photos and social media make this place look way cooler than it actually is…read more For $25, you get a glorified neighborhood pool with access to buy overpriced food and drinks. Like the other reviewers stated, half the lagoon was closed and unavailable to the public. You could use the beach chairs, but no access to the water unless you walk to the other end of the property. At that price point you'd be better off finding a friend with a pool or an apartment pool and just going there. seats with umbrellas are limited unless you get there within the first 30 minutes of opening and the ones that are next to the water entrance are overcrowded with parents and children. I guess the appeal is way more for adults who have children and like to drink in front of them. The water course gets full and you have to sign up hour (s) in advance and the bumper boat area is small. In my opinion, they need quite a few things to feel like your $25 was worth something. Umbrellas for every pair of chairs would be a great start, or tables for the lounge chairs, and few extra attendants to run food and drinks. Overall, this is an overpriced pool that I would not back to without upgrades.

Genuinely we will never return here. As soon as we pulled up on the hottest day on record in Texas…read more Upon entering we noticed the Lagoon had signs that said Lagoon closed. We informed management thy we drove from New Orleans and had anticipated the Lagoon and they said we are sorry its closed due to maintenance. And I said had it been posted on the website we would have been able to make a decision for ourselves, the employee informed us that it has been closed for 2 weeks. Other than that the food was good and my kids had a blast in the obstacle course. They refunded our admission for our party and accommodated us with a cabana.

Sadly, they don't allow to bring food in but they have few vegetarin / Halal (better than Kosher) options which are pricey.

I've…read morebeen taking care of my grandmother and my mother at hospitals and nursing home most of the summer and only got to bring my daughter one previous time and wanted to take my daughter for a final day where we didn't have to be all stressed out. After driving over an hour to get there and find a parking spot, I realized I forgot our wristbands and had to pay another $20 just to get into the Park one last time which was so much drama despite the fact 1) they could've given me a sliver of Goodwill as someone who has bought multiple season passes and drinks and food while there for multiple years and had no issue purchasing replacement wristbands over the past few years. I wasn't upset because of the $20. I was upset because of the experience. I bought a season pass with every intention of using it this summer, but life had other plans. My entire summer was spent caring for elderly parents, and I barely had the opportunity to come to the park. Looking back, I would have been better off buying individual tickets. Today was the one day I had left to bring my daughter before the season ends. After driving more than an hour to get here, I realized I'd forgotten our season pass tags. Instead of a little flexibility or customer goodwill during the last week of the season, I spent nearly an hour walking back to my car and trying to work something out before finally paying the replacement fee anyway. The money wasn't the point. The lost time and the way the situation was handled completely changed the tone of what was supposed to be one enjoyable day after an incredibly difficult summer. Policies are important, but so is customer service. Sometimes treating a loyal season passholder with a little understanding creates far more goodwill than strictly enforcing a fee. Unfortunately, this experience has convinced me not to renew next year. I'll be looking at other parks instead.

I had a great experience at Big Rivers Waterpark for the 2026 Aloha Beach Party!…read more It was adult night from 7-11pm on the weekend before my birthday, so I decided to attend the event. It was my first time going to a waterpark since I was like 15 years old, so I was a bit excited I must say! It was 21 and up which was even sweeter! ( should've been 30 and up), but it was fun! There were several rides that were open, the lazy river was open and there were shows that were performed throughout the night. Drinks, food and lockers were available too. I had a blast and I'll definitely attend the a future event.

My wife and I are older, so we don't use the waterpark much. However we LOVE going to the special…read moreevents! We went to both the Pumpkins After Dark and the Christmas events. 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.

I had fun, but was just blown away with the prices and my personal experience. It's $40 entry, $10…read moreto park and $10 for a locker. This price includes all day PLAY. Meaning if you want to exit park, go to lunch you can reenter the park at no additional charge prior to closing. If you plan to go again ever in the open season it's only fiscally proactive to purchase a season pass. Be sure to bring picture ID because there is no debit card transactions. I had to park pretty far but there was a free trolley like every 5 minutes, hallelujerrs! I went on a Sunday early afternoon and although I didn't feel too crowded while migrating the playground, every ride averaged a 15-20 minute wait or longer. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT wear your good flip flops or swimsuit cover up because most rides you will have to remove. I wore my pink ADIDAS flip flops and someone decided to take only my flip flops from the flip flop pile. This was beyond desperation, but they don't have anyone monitoring everything they enforce you to remove. After that I couldn't think about anything else and been looking at folks feet since I left park :-! The staff at this park were helpful, patient, courteous and friendly. My tip would be to instead of getting a locker, purchase a waterproof phone pouch which you can wear around neck (they sell at water park and Bed Bath and Beyond) which will fit your Phone, cash/credit, ID, and key. This will save the over priced locker rental fee. Also prior to trip go to McDonald's or HEB and get the coupon for $8. These run out quick during weekends so get early if possible. Final tip: Be sure to try the Brain Drain with dropped floor before all rides. Once you do this ride you'll be prepared for anything else to come.

I got in line for an hour just to be met with "there aren't any more cheeseburgers" as I saw them on the warmer behind the cashier. I had to ask someone at the pickup area to exchange my item for a cheeseburger, even though I paid extra for the non-cheeseburger item. The cashier originally refused and ignored me. Crowds were unacceptable and unsafe. Water felt like lotion. One pizza was $40. Just shut down if you're that desperate
