    Great place to hang out and start/finish your floating experience. We got there early and didn't have to wait for a tube and didn't have trouble finding a table. The city water chute is right there and is a fun addition to the experience. It was convenient that there was a bar which served drinks and food... nothing fancy but enough to satisfy the hunger. They played music and had a few yard games. The shuttle was easy to find and return.

    People jammed up at the only entry stairs.

    They have gone downhill since last year (2023) with food & drinks, they have NO margaritas!!! Only beer & 2 slushy drinks, Pina Colada & High C, whatever the heck that is. The DJ is WAY too loud. Can't talk to your guests at the Cabanas as the music BLARES so loud!!! They should keep the music lower for guests, instead of trying to blast it to the River people to promote their half-ass bar. If they REALLY want people to come there, they need to bring back their margaritas & serve decent food. The staff is friendly but can't make up for the lack of a decent bar & food. They also let freebie people "migrate" to the paid Cabanas between Cabanas #2 & #3 to "freeload". Not a good thing as Cabana #2 had a grill but "free loaders" with scuba gear took over the table & blocked the grill off, so you can't use it, a waste of paid Cabana # 2 rental. No one from Float in to Monitor the area!!! I saw a Park Ranger checking cabanas for drunks, but no one from Float in checking for freeloaders blocking Cabana paid users from their grills or monitoring the stairs to ask folks to not block the River access for tubers. I had to wait several hours for the crowd to disperse before I could get into the River. It needs to be better monitored. Plus, there were No lifeguards on duty (I almost drowned last year when the chute pushed me to the 40 foot bottom!). Lots of people drown there each year & they cover it up by saying nothing!!!! In fact, a person drowned at the City Chute last year when we were there!!! Swim at your own risk. No Lifeguards present!

    The Float In is my favorite spot on the Comal River! My daughter has been enjoying this place since she could walk. It's always safe, fun and our experiences have all been so wonderful. It's a two hour float to the last public exit. Shuttle brings you right back to float again!!!

    We went during the weekday (which is free) and got to sit at the cabanas - which they usually charge $200! What the heck! Anyway! They offer draft beer, canned, bottled, frozen beverages, and food. Outdoor seating along the Guadalupe river with the option to tube! They also had a mini pumpkin patch which was really cool and great for photo opportunities. We basically spent most of the day here eating, drinking, and laughing. Great spot for a group! Cheers!

    This is a pretty cool place.Me and my wife didn't want to float the river we just wanted to hang out in it.And this place worked out perfect.It's 20 bucks each to get in and you get a free drink with that.The tables are first come first serve unless you reserve one.We were out there all day.We had a blast.They also serve food too but we brought our own.I would definitely recommend this place.

    Ant bites from ant infested hay stack at pumpkin patch

    The pumpkin patch was nicely put together. We went on a Friday afternoon to take my 20 month old without worrying about a crowd. I take 2 stars off because there were ants everywhere, which it's outside so I guess it's inevitable but they got in my sons pant leg without us knowing and I had to strip his pants right there. He has about 8-10 bites on him and they came from a hay stack used to sit and take pics. I was pretty ticked, maybe check and spray for ants if you know people and kids will be sitting and playing in said area... we also asked if they had food and they said they didn't and the food truck schedule didn't show. We paid admission to be there for 15 mins and get attacked by ants. I just really hope it doesn't happen to another poor child that is too young to speak or say they are getting bit up.

    It was love at first sight! After seeing San Antonio food blogger s.a.foodie promote this place on her instagram. I knew we had to check it out. For $35, you get: Entry to a huge beautiful well maintained lawn/patio/river bank area with plenty of seating and lawn games Unlimited tube rental Unlimited shutte bus One free drink up to $6 in value If anyone in your party is planning to just chill in the upper level/lawn area of the venue, it's free! They can order food and drink as if they were visiting a restaurant. Few things to note: - floating from this location lasts 1.5-2 hours long. - costs an extra $5 for the day to use the chute since it's run by the city

    A restaurant with food, drinks, lawn games, and access to Floating with tubes along the river sounds really great, right. Its Family friendly and dog friendly. It's a very cool family fun spot whether you go in the summer or off-season - for pumpkin patch which we just went to and it's very cool I liked everything about it. Management: I have a recommendation for you -please upgrade your bathrooms!!everything else outside looks amazing but the bathrooms are small there's no changing rooms for people to go to- change there and you are straddling the toilets and when you stand up you can see people face-to-face because the doors are short, that is my only suggestion update your bathrooms everyone else as you can read come already changed in your swimwear because there's nowhere else to change except straddling a toilet in the small bathrooms.

    I really enjoyed my time here! The drinks and food are great, you even get a complimentary first drink of your choosing! I had a number of frozen drinks rose, lemonade and white claw bucket along with chicken tenders. I went on a weekday so it wasn't crowded and the seating area was very open. I ended up being able to sit under a cabana with no issues or charge. I also got a tube as part of my entry and free drink, they ask for something of yours as collateral which would be good to know before you walk up a hill empty handed. I didn't have anything and they gave me the tube with no issue after I assured them I wouldn't steal it, cus like who does that? Anyway the water is so cold and refreshing but it's like a real rushing river and if your not from Texas or have never been in a river beware. The bottom of the river is sharp with many different types and sizes of rocks beneath your feet, please wear shoes and be mindful of your legs and feet being scratched scraped and bruised. The river literally rushes it pushes with such fierce you can barely stand in some areas. It will push you all the way down for miles and you will be away from your belongings. Please protect your items if you do the full river, I did not go far but my things were safe overall. Just come prepared for treacherous adventure because no one told me!

    Chilling near the tube shoot!

    Great time great staff. Definitely will be back with more friends! Dj was playing all the jams!! Come early gets packed!

    Definitely wasn't a pumpkin patch as advertised. You could see the disappointment in everyone's face that had kids.

    Rockin'R River Rides had a nice set up. They do seem to nickel and dime you a bit. $15 for parking,…read more$25 for a cooler float tube which is what the going rate per person is. They have an air conditioned portable bathroom trailer that is decent. 6 stalls in the women's room and they were fairly clean. The summer heat had them smelling a little funky, but I'm not sure what can be done to fix that. The staff was friendly. The school bus ride back to the starting point after the float was nostalgic. For a moment, it took me back to feeling like we were on a school field trip. We definitely see ourselves coming back but at least bringing our own floats for our coolers to cut down on the expense. We had a large group with 2 coolers so it was $50 just to bring our coolers along.

    They really do know how to nickel and dime you! It was about $23 per tube, plus another $16 for…read moreparking. The staff was pretty nice and helpful, though. They do have a decent size portable bathroom, which was nice. My only complaint is that they should keep the water on inside them a little longer. We got back to the beginning around 4:30 and went to use the bathroom before heading out, but the water was already turned off. The float itself was actually painful. There are SO many rocks that you constantly hit and scrape your rear end against, and it gets pretty uncomfortable after a while. I'm not sure if I'll be back to this location just because this particular section was so rocky. Overall, it was fun, but definitely bring some extra money and be prepared for a rocky ride!

    Whew, get here early! By 11:30 on a Saturday, parking lot is absolutely packed. People parked (I…read morethink illegally?) in the university lot and I had no issues but I paid $5 on the QR code anyway to be safe. Tubes are $25 and come with shuttles. Bring your own tube and shuttle costs $15. Lockers are $5 for small and $10 for large and you have to wait for the staff so make sure you put everything in or take everything out in one go, ideally. Takes a while to buy individual tubes with the waiver so I'd buy your whole group at once if possible. There are small restrooms that are expectedly dirty for people floating the river. Most of the tubes were fine, somewhat dirty but got the floating job done. Lastly, this is unrelated to Lions Club, but it's about 25% of the people that actually follow the can ban and 75% probably aren't while we were there. Honestly ridiculous - just go buy a 64oz Igloo at Academy, it's $15. The tube rental is literally more expensive. We came with two Igloos a pop (one for water) and an extra tube for coolers. It's ridiculous that they have people kayaking picking up litter. Do better, folks.
