    Great vibes, good options on food, snacks, and bar! Has A/C outdoor restrooms, still not fully open but from what is open it was pretty chill. Easy and open parking. Lines can be pretty long bring water shoes and cover gear bc there isn't a lot of covered area for HOT days.

    you are limited to swim in the tiny area at the bottom right that I highlighted in pink

    The website is so deceptive. The website shows a big beautiful lagoon and lots of fun water activities happening in 2026. The vast majority of these are not open. We went the first Sunday in August 2026 just to relax in this big beautiful lagoon but were highly disappointed when we were limited to one teeny tiny area to swim. The website does say a few things are closed and to view the map to see what is open. The map shows a big blue beautiful lagoon so looks like the entire lagoon was open. I didn't care about the activities, I just wanted to swim in this wide open space. The pictures are from their website and I added the words as none of these captivating areas were open. I also included a picture of the map of the lagoon. I added the pink highlighted area on the bottom right corner to show the only small area that was open for swimming. I contacted the office to let them know how deceptive the website is relaying the information about the majority of the lagoon being closed. They did not care and said the website shows what is open and what is not. Wrong! it is very deceptive. This was my first visit so the website only shows me an awesome lagoon to swim. They offered no refunds, which I did not really expect. I did expect an apology and an offer for tickets to revisit, even if it is next season. They did not offer anything and took no responsibility for their deception.

    Don't let social media fool you. This place is very underwhelming. Teenage staff and almost all of them are on their phones. NOT a family friendly place. More like a teenage hangout spot. They won't refund you if it rains if you check in, and they will kick everyone out until it stops raining (could be hours). Which is why they push online buying tickets only. Oh and only 2 attractions were open out of all advertised on social media, so because of that very long lines. And this was a summer weekend. I regret driving 4 hours with my family.

    My family and I visited Lagoonfest while on vacation, and as out-of-towners, we had high expectations based on the photos online. While the lagoon itself is nice, it didn't quite live up to what we had envisioned. It felt more like a very upscale neighborhood pool with some fun features -- which would've been fine had we gone in with that mindset. The atmosphere was more of a party vibe -- loud, crowded, and high-energy -- which wasn't what we were personally looking for. I had hoped for a more relaxing experience, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Considering the price, I didn't feel it was worth the cost. The cabana rentals were surprisingly expensive -- even more than what we've paid at actual beaches, like in Cozumel. The highway visible in the background also took away from the overall ambiance. In the end, it just wasn't the right fit for our family. For the price, I'd prefer a beach day or a quieter pool where we can truly unwind.

    The reviews are kind of low, so I felt I would review it to add a different perspective. A water park located in a suburban neighborhood, next to a Buc-ees? Interesting! The crowd was mostly families, but you could go as an adult group or even solo. Glad they have a pretty large parking lot, so no stress on that. Came here for the first time on a bright Saturday AM at about 9:50a. Place opens at 10a. Come earlier than that, because others do too, and the line moved a little slow. They have a bag check you have to pass through first. Then you get back in line and go to the window, show your ticket, and/or buy your ticket. Then get your wristband. And then walk in. So you can only bring in what they allow, boooo, check their website for what they allow and dont allow before going. But I will say, the bag check was kind of light, IYKYK. Agree that the best move is to come early to snag a lounge chair with an umbrella. Umbrellas seem to be few and far between, but if you get there early, you should be able to get one. It doesn't seem worth it to rent the expensive cabanas, even with a group. We saw some groups doing it, not sure if they actually had paid the $300 fee, or were just squatting there until they got caught. I liked that they had a bar with some beer/cocktail options, so they place is adult friendly and kid friendly, lol. They have a food menu too, since you can't bring in food. I didn't order anything, but my friend really enjoyed her burger. They also had a few food trucks as well. That day, they were actually having a Pirates and Mermaids themed day. There was a Pirate folk band playing on their mini stage for a few hours. After that, they had a good playlist jamming on the loud speaker. The actual pool of the lagoon is divided in half. One half is for people to swim. The other half is for the water equipment rentals like the kaiyaks etc. We got to enjoy some stand-up paddleboading. That was fun. The water equipment rental is for 30 min at a time. Besides the wild rowdy kids surrounding us, we had a fun experience.

    Good stuff: large, spacious, free parking Bad stuff: no showers or anywhere to rinse off, bathrooms are trailers, chairs run out and we got there at 11, an hour after it opened. Food trucks pretty good. Womp.

    If you close your eyes for a moment you can forget where you are For a $325 cabana I would expect at least 2 lounge chairs and a couple appetizers or 2-4 admission tickets come with. Luckily we found the Groupon for $25pp Check in staff was super rude to one of my friends when he arrived because they didn't want to accept the screenshot of the Groupon code. It was gifted since another person in our group purchased a few from the same account. Once I let them know which manager instructed us to present as such they just let him in I doubt they even scanned it . The waiter got our drinks and concession food. Fries were great but can't say much for the drinks. Frozen beverages were already 60% liquid and tasted like juice. Not sure what alcohol was used. I got a poboy from one of the food trucks. The shrimp was great but the bread was a waste of carbs. Not taste and dry. They'd do better with a shrimp basket but maybe they can't serve fries since it'd be direct competition with the park. The beignets on the other hand were very tasty . I think it's a lot to tax for admission , cabana, and then again for every activity. The floor in the pool was lumpy and had a lot of air pockets. Not super safe. Hoping the new one in Katy is in better condition when they open.

    Lagoon is always a hit or miss as long as we've lived here. The management has come a long way with improving our experiences.

    Definitely worth a swim here in clear water

    What an amazing place to have a women's triathlon today. The staff could not have been any more helpful or courteous to help this Island Girl tri at Lagoonfest be a success. The water was clear and calm and I can see why people love to visit here. There was plenty of parking and after the event we stayed for a few hours to enjoy some drinks and food while relaxing in a cabana. They have both cabanas by the man-made beach and ones available for rental by the water. I could not believe how large this place was and how clean it was. Texas can be hot and the air-conditioned bathrooms were clean and cold.That's a Win win for me after racing or even if you are just hanging out for the day to catch some rays .Nice to have a place to cool off. Their friendly and courteous staff came by multiple times to check to see if we needed anything and as we exited even offered to take pictures of us together with our phone. I will certainly come back. Maybe next time for a later day sunset enjoying some live country music as advertised on their website.

    My take away from Lagoonfest is that they are severely understaffed. There is no up keep of the property during the day resulting in mud build up on the shore lines and the restrooms were atrocious. The wait for food is extremely long whether it was lagoonfest concession or food truck. Personally I waited 20 mins for a piña colada in a pineapple, 15 mins for a funnel cake and 15 minutes for chicken quesadillas. That time adds up and takes away from the lagoon experience. The advertising and social media make it look like a relaxing resort style lagoon but it felt more like an amusement park. I also wish they would have more water space for people to spread out to swim, the water sports are not that active which means they could open the deeper water for more experienced swimmers. If they were to open the deeper parts in the water I would like for them to supply some simple pool noodles (since you can't bring them in) for people to hang on and float around to relax. With that said, I did enjoy the amount of chairs that were available with umbrellas, bumper cars were free with admission, cups of ice were free and lagoon water was very clear and clean. If those changes were made I would definitely return to Lagoonfest.

    Great day to enjoy my favorite yup her doing her first triathlon in two years. I couldn't believe how cool this place was. A huge lagoon that is reminiscent of being on vacation on an island somewhere in the Caribbean. With Crystal clear water in there , you could easily swim without fear of what was underneath you. The staff was very helpful and asked if we could use any drinks food orAnything else needed. They had cabanas on the manmade sand beaches. They also had cabanas on the water for rental. Even though we chose not to stand up paddle or kayak it was available for additional charge. After taking plenty of pictures up till the time they open the park at at 11 AM, we stay for another hour before the crowd came. Definitely would come by again for a lazy Sunday afternoon or to listen to music as the sun goes down with a drink in hand and my feet in the sand.

    To expensive to get in when you have to pay separately for all the activities. Nothing for toddler to really do.

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.

The water park was the best part, and the kids did enjoy themselves, but everything outside of that was frustrating. At Fireside, our server Kennedy seemed irritated and rushed, and we repeatedly had to track her down for basic service. I was able to eat, but my sister's burger was served incorrectly and completely raw inside. She had to wait while the rest of us finished eating, and by the time we got someone's attention, the other food locations had closed, leaving her without a meal. Guest Relations offered bowling and mini golf as compensation, but there were less than 30 minutes left to use them. We tried bowling anyway, only to have balls get stuck and pins become tangled repeatedly. We had to find an employee around 8 times before giving up. Our room also repeatedly became extremely hot even after adjusting the thermostat, making it difficult to get comfortable or sleep. Even the children's water area had issues. Glass was brought into the area and broken, causing it to temporarily close. We also experienced inconsistent enforcement of the children's area rules. When a lifeguard in orange Elijah would hold the door for children to escape then cornered my 2 year old daughter shaming her for doing what every other kid was doing playing in the water at the bottom of the slide. Overall, we spent far too much of our trip trying to find employees, deal with broken amenities, and get basic issues addressed. For the price, I expected much better customer service, working amenities, and a comfortable room. Unfortunately, the water park was the only part of the experience that lived up to our expectations.

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.
