    Went here for 2 birthday parties (ours and one for a friend) and 2 times (and most likely more in…read morethe future!!) just leisure family time. We went to celebrate a birthday. The process of reserving an umbrella was fairly easy online. When we got to the table they had our last name already in the spot I picked. You bring your own decorations for tables and food (they do have food trucks also). Place has so many people - given that Texas is suuuper hot during summers its not a surprise. They have Splashville: with a blue enclosed slide (goes fast since you cant see what tyrns come up next), and more "tame" slides colored yellow and orange. They have a place there over in Splashville where everyone splashes around. Lots of fun playscape type climbing apparatuses (apparati? Idk haha) for you to climb to where you wanna go. Over near middle of park is a little kid splash pad/very shallow pool that you can watch your littlies wade in. There's a short toy train slide they can go up and down on. Over near the left of entrance there's 2 tall water slides: one blue enclosed slide and a green one thats not. They're SUPER fun to go down. Over in the newest section of the park is a big action/lazy river where one can float to your heart's content. Plenty of tables around - your just have to come early to stake your spot so to speak. Overall place is very nice to play around in. There's no time limit and you can get a wristband to come in and out. Definitely coming back for more rock n rivery fun!!

    Pros: -cheap tickets…read more-clean place -multiple park sections (volleyball, basketball, 2 lazy rivers, rock climbing wall!, two kid zones, 3 slides) -they let you bring your own food -you can literally be there from open to close Cons: -pay for kids 2 and under(most places they are free) -little tables available (get there early to secure a table, reserve one in advance, or table a picnic blanket and an umbrella to sit in the grass Something to note: it doesn't have a lot of rides like other water parks, it's more relaxing, playing a sport in the water, or kid zones. I would definitely go again it's small but also $20 for adults, a price you can beat for fun all day and no hidden fees. 20 is what you pay!

    If I could give the Lakeway Swim Center 0 stars, I would. There are serious problems here with some…read moreof the users, but lifeguards and managers refuse to deal with them. When they do, they shoot the messenger and protect the guilty. There is one woman lap swimmer who nearly everybody is afraid of. She is as mean as a snake. She has been lying to people about me repeatedly. She called me an asshole to my face in front of others, for no reason. She has been pissed off because when people ask to share my lane, if they have plastic paddles I ask them not to use them because I have been hit hard by good swimmers and it hurts. You can look it up- injuries and pain from plastic paddle hits in lap pools is a known problem. Yesterday an obviously competitive swimmer asked to share my lane. At first I said ok but then I saw he had plastic paddles so I asked him not to use them and I told him why. I was polite and so was he. He went to another lane. Next I saw the woman talking with the lifeguard- this is what she does- she befriends the female lifeguards then manipulates them into coming after me. Next, a guy in the middle lane starts talking loudly for all to hear saying "everybody has to share". He too obviously was upset at me. I have never spoken to the guy. I think he may have also been manipulated by this terrible woman. I corrected him. I said that I have no problem sharing, but I have a problem with the plastic paddles because they hurt when people hit you with them. He accused me of poor arm control, which was a lie. When sharing I always stay far on my side, and I never swam with this guy. Then I see the lifeguard standing near me with the assistant pool manager, who until recently, I thought was a friend. They were whispering. I said "Hey, come here. I want to talk to you about what has been happening here. Only the assistant director came over. I told him exactly what had happened. He told me that I cannot ask people not to use plastic paddles. Today I got a call from the pool director. Before he could say anything, I said- I am going to tell you what really happened. I told him the true story. He said that was not what he was told by multiple people. Clearly, the others were lying- probably repeating the lies the old woman told them about me. Before that, I offered to never occupy an entire lane, to demonstrate that I have no problem sharing. And I said if anybody asked to share with plastic paddles I will give up my lane and share with somebody else. And I said if that is not good enough, you can give me my money back and I will never go to your evil pool again. So that is the situation. I have more horror stories about the Lakeway Swim Center lap pool but thats enough for now. The best example I can give of what Lakeway Swim Center management and staff, and some lap swimmers, did to me recently, is PUBLIC LYNCHING. Yes, you read that right. No doubt about it, if these beasts had had a tree and a rope, they would have hung my ass! Do yourself a favor- skip this evil hell hole

    Pros: multiple water rides, multiple areas (wave pool, lazy river, obstacle course, kid area, baby…read moresplash pad, changing room, quiet zone), nicely kept, lifeguards everywhere, plenty of parking Cons: you can't bring your own food not even a water bottle just an unopened one, & they open at 11am You can however, leave the park and come back. I saw many people eating in their cars and returning inside. Will definitely be back but only when they have ticket sales. Tickets at regular price for $$$

    Very fun, nice, conveniently located waterpark in Round Rock! Excellent place to kick off summer…read moreand enjoy a day out with the family. Friendly for kids of all ages with different sections offering slides, a lazy river, wave pool, and experiences for all age groups. My daughters (ages 7 and 3) particularly loved the kids slide section and the wave pool. I did see quite a few dead bugs and leaves in the lazy river and wave pool which was a little off putting. They have lockers to store belongings, as well as clean bathrooms and changing rooms onsite. They also offer a variety of food choices which are pretty good & reasonably priced. Very few crowds if you arrive right at opening time. I was happy to see there were no lines at all for the slides. They open a half hour early for season pass members; general admission is 11am. Definitely worth checking out for a day of family fun in the hot TX summer!

    We came on a Tuesday May 26, 2026 in the late afternoon and had a great t time!…read more* I did see that currently have a special on tuesdays- buy one adult ticket and get a second for $2.I also saw there was a 25% discount after 3pm. I want to thank the lifeguard staff for being very understanding and patient with my 6year old non verbal autistic son. They were accommodating when i explained he has trouble understanding commands while upholding safety rules. They let him idle in areas that weren't in use. When explained his behaviors they didn't make us feel unwelcome. Just for how the staff treated us, I would deff come back!! For $20 bucks I think this is a great place! My family who lives here said they've never seen it not busy BUT it was great for us. Two big water slides that are pretty darn fast. One person only at a time, you can't have a life vest one. One slide you need a tube. The lazy river was pretty nice and calm. They have an outdoor sand volleyball court (looks like 12u height). Had a little ceasar's pizza and nachos's (didn't care for the sauce). Nice big water pool and a shallower area for the kids. Although I imagine it gets crazy busy during the summer, i glad we came here when we did . Thank you!

    Went here with family while visiting Belton for a few days. I haven't been to water park in ages!…read moreSo it was a nice way to cool off in the Texas heat for the afternoon. It's a basic waterpark. - 2 big slides. One of which being a tube slide. - an area for little kids and toddlers. - lazy river. - swing thing. - cabanas and reserved tables. - snack stand - general store - bathrooms. There really isn't an area where you go and get tubes from a pile. You just kinda have to scope out the lazy river and find a tube that's abandoned. The big slides are CRAZY fast! I am telling you to watch out for the tube slide that's multicolored! The speed I was going was nuts, combined with the fact it had me going backwards unintentionally was kinda scary. I got a bruise trying to position myself so I could drop out into the pool without seriously flipping over or injuring myself. The bruise is still visible 2 days later. I didn't wanna ride that slide anymore. Didn't trust it. All in all, it's a nice little park where you can beat the heat. If you don't mind crowds or tons of people in a lazy river. It's not horrible but it's not awe inspiring either lol.
