    View from cabana

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I was excited to check out Lagoonfest after seeing serval ads/videos since last year. The lagoon is huge with plenty of space. Upon arrival our bags were checked to make sure no outside food or drinks were brought into the establishment. My friend's friend had ordered a poolside cabana which was very comfortable and relaxing. We were able to receive poolside service by texting our waitress our food/drink orders. The menu is very limited by the way. Especially for an establishment that limits outside food it a shame there wasn't much to rave about. It looks like they also have food trucks set up throughout the park sometimes, although there was only one cajun type food truck today. I ordered a high moon seltzer and nachos. The nachos ($8) were pretty bland, only came with cheese, jalapeños and small amount of chili. The other food options on the menu included fries, mozzarella sticks, wings. The cocktail prices weren't too bad though, about $12 a drink and beers/seltzers ~ $5. The resort itself is beautiful! The pool temperature is perfect, not too cold or warm. There's different activities to do as well including kayaking and water obstacle course (at an extra cost I think around $5) and mini boats too. Today (a Sunday afternoon) was a pretty calm/chill day at the resort though I'm sure it's likely more busy during prime days during the summer. Overall, I'm glad I finally got to check out lagoon fest however, the lack of good food options and over vibe felt lackluster compared to what I expected for Lagoonfest.

    TEXAS!!!! YASSSSSS!!! PLEASE OPEN MORE OF THESE! Look... I am burnt out From all work and no play. The lack of vacation and time away due to covid was making me crazy... this staycation experience made me feel as if I were on a resort in Mexico. The crystal blue water, DJ playing all the right songs, endless sun vibes and drinks was just what I needed. This place has everything from bumper boats to a blow up obstacle course, paddle boarding, kayaking... I can go on. The white sand experience and beach vibe without worrying about jelly fish, sharks, glass, oil... shit. (Sorry not sorry)... so worth the $28 entry fee. Here's the cons and the reason why I couldn't give this place a solid 5 star rating. SAVE UP BC THIS EXPERIENCE IS EXPENSIVE! You should definitely reserve chairs or a cabana or you'll be on the floor. Especially if you're staying a day in the sun a cabana will be preferable for a more comfortable experience. This is an extra cost.. Also... no waters, food etc are allowed. Each water is over $5... a drink can be anywhere between 13-15 (liquor/mixed drinks). Food is equally ridiculously priced. Just be prepared and save up ! All experiences are also an extra cost.. Altogether Lagoonfest was exactly what I needed. So much fun in the sun, but definitely made a dent in my wallet. High recommended for friends and family if you need to get away while still not being too far from home.

    Cabana

    Beautiful place! Horrible service minus our cabana server. 1. We were the only cabana on our side and upon arrival the worker wanted us to move our cabana to the general side since "no one is there but yall". Cabana was booked for 2 weeks in advance. 2. After being at our cabana the workers proceed to use a blower almost the whole time getting sand in our area and no consideration of noise. 3. Getting shuttle ride to the Cabana. The lady said "they're waiting for a bigger party" so she couldn't give us a ride even though it wasn't in use and it would've taken 2 min to give us a ride. But she was giving a poor attitude since the beginning. Really disappointed with the service. But like I said beautiful place but reconsider spending the $300 bucks on a cabana.

I went with my family for my son's birthday, as we do annually, a tradition that's about 8 years old. We went prior and post COVID. But over time it's gotten very meh. Glad there's no loyalty program, this park it awful. TLDR: It was a Saturday, yesturday (07/19). We arrived early like we always do. We had to purchase a ticket at the gate for a friend for a whooping $87. It was never this high despite corporate takeover & website's claims of no prices changes. We all thought, okay for that amount it must be good. Nope- Terrible. Half of the rides were closed. The very rides they boasted about online, were closed. The only fun & thrills you got was seeing your money vanish. Half the restrooms were closed. Most of the food huts were closed. My son usually gets the works when we go. So whatever he wants to do/eat, we do that. Overpriced food is one of those things. But there was no Dippin Dots or no pizza spots opened. No smell of their usual bbq station. My husband said he passed by a hut that offered chicken strips. Online they claim there's 16 food locations. My butt there was 16. Some of the little huts look like they hadn't been used in a year. (But it's still mid summer people! So it's busy!) Plenty of full stocked empty drink fountains though, *yawn.* Yet it was sunny, then mildly cloudy, and scorching-hot sunny again. I'll paint a picture: Last year they still had many rides opened even during a summer storm warning. One year people on the MASSIV ride got stuck 2x in an 2-3 hour period, guess what? They still fixed it & reopened it within a few hours. They were having life guard training. Weird. Not because they were having it during regular hours. (that's not the first time we've came & they had it. they almost always do.) It's weird because it looked like they closed off most of park for it? (Most modern theme parks give notice of closed rides, renovations, etc. Not them, they think the element of suprise is still cute.) This was the 1st time it felt like a waste of money & trip to Galveston. The entire park has never felt like an over priced swimming pool before. Yes. We paid for an over priced swimming pool because the lazy river that has a "thrill" portion was down too. It was just that. The lines were too long for the little bit of slides they did have open. The lazy river basically was my gateway to see entire park & it was bad. A couple of slides had water running but not once did they open it. Here's the river kicker: can't ride lazy river without a life jacket or wrist band. To get wrist band you must sign waiver. But life jackets are requried for everyone that doesn't sign a waiver. The waiver is only for those 18+. The waiver isn't mentioned until you get into the lazy river by an employee. Glorious, you get to waste time walking back to the front to sign a form that should have been on their website, NOT app. I don't want your terrible 2-bit app. I overheard others complain about that. Sure you can take QR route & sign but guess what? You have to download the app and STILL get in line to get the wrist band. You saved 0 time. We usually make it a thing to go from open to close. We left early. No use, or need to stay any longer. Nothing changed. Nothing open else opened up. Packed picnics lunches for nothing. Do better Sclitterbahn or you'll be a thingof the past like Jungle Surf.

Firstly, any business that supports specials needs is already great in my book. I read reviews of the long lines, so I gave myself an extra 30 minutes to get there. It was not needed at all. Yes, the line was long, but I purchased tickets online so I didn't have to wait in line for that, and as soon as the clock struck 8pm, the line moved very quickly. We didn't wait for longer than a few minutes. My kiddos thought the wait would be long (and so did I) so they went off to the playground to kill time. Little did I know as soon as they made it, doors were opening so I had to get out of line to go get them then get at the end of the line. Even with that, I'd say it was less than two minutes of waiting. Once inside, I noticed the park was very clean. There was plenty of seating as well as tubes available. The kids opted to spend almost all of their time in the lazy river. Warning: it moves a little fast. I had trouble keeping up lol. There are regular lifeguards that are on the deck observing the kiddos, and there are guards that are actually inside the water interacting with the kids. My two boys were paired with such a sweet angel that gave them the BEST experience. Towards the end of the night, another guard joined them. The boys were on their backs racing and showing off their "tricks." The girls even took them on two of the rides (which I wouldn't have taken them as I am terrified of even the slightest thrill rides). I wish I would have gotten the girls' names as they really took care of my boys. I didn't order any food as the event was only two hours long, and we ate dinner before we left, but food was available for sale, and you also have the option of bringing your own. I brought water for everyone, but we were in the water the whole time so we didn't get to it. Next time, I'll leave it in the car so I don't have to tote anything around.

I was there on July 26, 2025 as part of the Katy Pride celebration along with other LGBTQ patrons at the park, plus other young and old parkgoers. Overall, this is a family-friendly waterpark. Everything was in order. I didn't have problem getting there from Houston. Although it was a very long ride, especially stuck in a Saturday commute on Highway 10. I originally saw the map on the computer thinking this was a huge park. But after walking around, this place is quite small to me. The lazy river, aka The Lazy-T, has really short loop. I couldn't get on other rides because there was a weather alert. Everyone had to be off the rides until weather authority cleared the thunderstorm warning. I don't know why they didn't tell us when I bought the ticket or even at the entrance. Speaking of my experience at the entrance, I got stopped for bringing unopened bottled water. Okay fine, I took it back to my car. I saw the dress code requirement poster at the locker wall. I took a picture to make sure my shorts were up to standard. Okay, now that's talk about my bad experience. I had a run-in with an employee who appeared to be a supervisor or lead of some sort because of his attire is very different from other employees. I asked him what was going on and why everyone is evacuating. He told me to "put something on to cover up." Huh? cover up what? I was wearing a Speedo swim shorts for swimmers. I specifically looked at all pictures and descriptions, mine was nothing close to be an undergarment. According to the dress code rules, men have to wear board shorts and women can wear bikini shorts. That's definitely sexual discrimination. I even took the shorts to guest services desk to verify. Both male and female employees agreed that was acceptable. At that time, the only thing came to my mind was that the "supervisor" was discriminating gay Asian male to be at the waterpark. I didn't see another Asian man in the whole park. I really don't want to make a stink about this. Because I really like this waterpark. But I will complaint to the management. I want them to clarify what men can wear to enjoy the park. p.s. According to Tajah R's review, the photo of "David" doesn't look like the "supervisor" I encountered. I wish I took a picture or ask for his name.
