We stopped by on our way back from our spring break vacation. I went in with low expectations, with…read moreall the mixed reviews we saw. We figured, let's just check it out. Glad we did! The major, and I mean major things was it was not crowded! Which was a huge relief for spring break and the crowds we dealt with every where else we went. The second MAJOR plus! The food was actually really good! You don't hear that much about amusement parks! If the family says they would eat it served anywhere else, then it's good! I recommend the family pack with food! Ok so value wise, you can look at it in two ways. The perks could outweigh the seeming thought of overpaying. It's waaaaaay cheaper than seaworld, or six flags. I can see it being worth more value if the water park section was opened. For right now, the fact the kiddos and even the misses could ride all day, and no long lines, make this a win for us. There are no token to buy, just all day wristbands. Yes the video games for the most part are dated. It's also not a huge park. There are four major rides outside. My family said the rollercoaster was a lot more violent and faster than they thought it would be. They were split whether they liked it or not. They also all loved the go kart attraction. We almost missed a small section in the inside towards the back. They had a bungee trampoline, a small rock wall, and a flight simulator! The family all enjoyed the flight simulator! It made for lots of laughs. They did have a playground and ball area for the smaller kids which we did not explore. Again, this is not a major theme park, but more like a light version with less crowds! We are coming back! The only negatives for us, the distance from where we live, the dated video game rides, and the water park being closed. It's not crazy cheap, but not crazy expensive. Hope that makes sense. It's almost like it was worth it to us because we were already driving back into town. That's pretty much it...

I came to the area to spend time with my good friend and I suggested we come here. I had remembered…read morethe last time I went on a Mountain coaster was in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. So I was excited to see what New Braunfels has to offer. I prepaid online for the tickets and reserved for 11:00 AM on a Saturday. When I arrived, the parking situation was terribly confusing. Once you drive in, there's a huge parking lot then there's a sign that says, "Camp Fimfo", I drove through the entrance of the sign. Towards my left, I saw a water park and drove to the back of the amusement park where I spotted everyone on golf carts. I turned around and drove to where the coaster was a tiny sign pointing in the direction of it. I got lost and via Google reviews a lot of people do. So to find the coaster, keep your eyes peeled for tiny signs that they "alpine coaster" is on the left side after the water park. There's plenty of parking in front of the coaster and a country store on site. I parked on some dusty rocks as the parking lot wasn't paved. There was hardly anyone else around for the 11:00 AM slot which was great! No long lines. My friend and I located the restroom on the side of the store. Restrooms were clean. Back at the coaster, we both signed waivers and the coaster staff helped us into separate seats with seatbelts. I had so much fun!! I couldn't stop laughing because the speed was fast around the curves and I didn't pull up the brakes. I pushed down the lever to make the cart go. I loved this Alpine coaster!! They have lockers where you can store your personal belongings. Bring your own lock. I would go around this coaster over and over again if I lived closer!!

Finally--a place where my kids and I can have a blast together!…read more There are a lot of classic carnival rides/attractions like bumper cars and hall of mirrors. At the same time, there were tons of new rides, too! We purchased the wrist bands--which is such a good deal! Truth be told, my kids went on all of the rides, that they could, at least two times! There was also a bungee, catapult jumper--which is a hoot! You have to try it! My little guy loved the games, along the midway--but I mean.... Who doesn't love those?! Can we talk about the food? If you have to eat one thing while you're there, do yourself a favor and order a bucket o'fries! This isn't your ordinary, run-of-the-mill fries. They must be coated in fairy dust and deep fried in unicorn tears--they're that good! If you want to splurge, get the bucket o'cheesey fries--trust me, you won't be disappointed. "What if I get two things?" You say? Well, that's a no brainer--get the foot long corn dog--yummy! We've been to a couple of this family's carnivals. Their staff seems great and friendly! Many of them will strike up a conversation with my husband or I while waiting for our kids, outside of rides. Can't wait to try to catch up with this carnival in October, when we go to a family reunion in Louisiana!! Wait.... Am I a carnival groupie?!

The burgers, fries (oh my..I dream about the bucket o' fries), corn dogs and homemade lemonade seriously compete with independent food trucks in Austin. This is a local Austin family run business. We have come to know the owners as we go so often, thus when you visit The Mighty Thomas Carnival you are supporting a local business. The rides are fun and small enough that my 4 year old still has multiple ride options. I know that people sometimes are discouraged by the cost of going to a carnival. When you look around and see the cost of operating such a business, the cost of admission is totally appropriate. My kids love it the most and I do have this amazing nostalgic feeling walking around the midway, especially at night. It is such an enjoyable experience! Highly recommend this carnival, especially for families!

The workers varied from really nice and helpful to grumpy and appearing to hate their jobs. The place in general is a money pit, but I think you know that going into it. We happened to get in on a BOGO special. Otherwise the price seems crazy high. The roller coaster was one activity that seemed to be running very inefficient. It took forever for them to load the carts. They did jump workers around to different activities so everything isn't always open and the times posted didn't actually match up to when they were open.

It was a hot day, and having water throughout the course made a big difference. If you're looking for a fun adventure in the Austin area, I highly recommend Lake Travis Zipline Adventures. We'd definitely do it again!

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!

The pros: to start the experience off we showed up around 1045am (15 min before opening) and there was plenty of free parking, which was amazing! All of us were able to get a free spot and honestly that's a bonus for a place like this. Most places have you paying for parking. Security was quick and easy and the fact you can also bring your own coolers and food and drinks is also amazing as most places do not allow that and force you to purchase their overpriced items. So this was great. I love eating healthy so I was able to feel good about my food that day. The park (we went to both east and west side but spent most of the day on the west) was well maintained and fairly clean from what I saw. The beautiful oak trees and plenty of picnic tables that you could set up your stuff on was also nice. We sat near the river and it was the perfect place to set home base and enjoy our food. Loved how it was also set next to the pool. Whatever playlist or dj they had that day was awesome. 90s R&B was on the loud speakers so that was right up my alley. :) My friend lost her phone in the wave pool/lazy river and someone turned it into the lifeguard and we were able to retrieve it from them. We appreciated the honesty of whoever found it and also to the lifeguards for holding it for us. Cons: the unfortunate part of the trip was the lines. My goodness. Average wait time was up to an hour each ride. We were there from open to close which was 8 hours and we went on 4-5 rides. So needless to say this was a bit of a bummer. For $60 we would have wanted to get more action for our money. This is why I gave the park 3 stars. The workers did seem a little young and also one of them was fairly rude. A friend of mine were trying to get a tube and the worker stopped me and said I'll get it. And then threw the tube at me. ------- To be honest I know there were a lot of reviews from people who have been here from years and years past who are disappointed in the way this park has headed. While it's sad to hear I only know what I know and I'm used to long lines at other theme parks so it seemed pretty on par. However, if this place used to have shorter lines whatever is needed to get back to that would be appreciated and honestly would bring more business to this park as I'm sure people will continue to avoid this place if they have to wait in line 1-3 hours per ride. So I hope management changes things. I could tell some of my friends weren't too happy with waiting in line so long. Over $100 per person for a fast pass is absolutely ridiculous and robbery if you have more than one person in your group. There has to be another way. Thankfully I was just so happy to have a girls day with friends that I kinda overlooked the long line times but I'm sure had I not been in such a happy mood-it would have been a big buzz kill. Overall, I had an amazing time outside the long wait and all my friends said they had a blast so that's a win! Unforgettable girls birthday trip:)

They run through the summer season for a few months daily, then switch to weekends only in the late summer. I would advise getting there as they open to get the best parking - we arrived around noon a couple weeks ago and had to park at a lot that was a little less than a mile away. Not so bad for just the two of us, but a lot harder for those with coolers and bigger groups. The parks are amazing - so many fun tube rides, body slides, and some faster tube blasters that are so much fun! I especially like the double rider tubes in Schlitterbahn east, like the Black Knight. I highly recommend the Fast Pass - it is a steep price but well worth it for accessing more of the rides. We felt like the regular fast pass was more than enough as we didn't have time to access all the rides once throughout our day. We also only visit once per season, though. It's been pretty crowded on both of our recent visits - Saturdays in July and August. I would guess it's less busy during the weekdays. We got to ride the Falls (worlds longest tube ride) on our visit in mid-August but they shut it down for the rest of the season the day after we went. All in all definitely worth visiting at any age and very family-friendly. You can rent a locker for your belongings and some folks keep their coolers on the tables by the larger pool areas. You can bring in food/drink or purchase in the park and they have Dippin Dots!

It's in the Falcon Pointe neighborhood and the several times I have gone during the day/morning it hasn't been crowded at all. Everything is clean, access to the bathrooms is great (clean as well) and there is lots of shade along the seat wall the borders the splash pad. There is a pavilion with picnic tables and playground in the same area as well. There are several berms that keep the kiddos from running into the street too. There is a large button that sets the water features into motion and it runs for about 2 minutes at a time. My son is a bit possessive of this button when we're out there (sorry other moms) and I've seen a few scuffles break out over the privilege of hitting the button next. There are buckets that dump water, jets that create water tunnels, little fountains safe for the younger kiddos, and lots of rubberized play surface. Best way to have a low stress cool-off day during summer in Austin.
