Nice local spot: Limited attractions, which is nice for families of small children who don't want to walk for ages. Pricing per person: You pay to park $10, weekday tickets are $15, and you can't bring outside food, so account for $20 for lunch. Pirate Splash pad was a hit for the kids under 7, older kids had fun push the littles on the floating croc. The older kid attractions aka the Slides were intense in speed. Tucking your chin is a must if you don't want whiplash. lol Food was good here, serving sizes are large. So me and the moms got away with ordering kids meals. All and all, I'd come back. read more

Volente Beach Water Park - Summertime fun - Water Parks Near Me - Leander, Texas

Pretty low key fun place for the kids. Small waterpark, short lines on water slides. Fin pool areas and lots of seating. Walking distance to a blocked off small private beach area. Attached bar, restaurant, corn hole, volleyball, and tons of picnic tables. The kids had a blast. We really enjoyed ourselves. read more

Great place for the kids! My children enjoyed the slides, we couldn't really hang out in the pool because kids were playing volleyball- but it's for the kids! We did use the QR code to order from Beachside Billy's and had appetizers/drinks delivered right to the table! That was really cool- though the app isn't very user friendly (separate review for them). The lifeguards teach station were very polite to the kids, attentive, and knowledgeable. They helped my kids understand the differences in their options to better make a decision! They didn't rush anyone and were all very approachable with questions. So focused on customer satisfaction that a slight delay on the slides was placed while my husband, some other adult, and a life guard went "diving " for a lost watch in the exit pool! (I know the owner of that watch was satisfied!) All in all, the waterpark is more just water slides and a "beach". It is definitely targeted towards younger adults/children. Overall ,worth the entry price. read more

This was a last minute thing, it was hot and we didn't want to go to TX Typhoon so we decided to check out Volente Beach. So glad we did!! The kids pirate ship play area is adorable and I love that it's small and contained, water is probably 18inches deep so I feel safe having the kids run around and everyone seemed super friendly and laid back. It felt like a mini vacation! The bigger pool has a volleyball play area and a little obstacle course for the kids. It's fairly shaded by trees and there are chairs and big beach loungers with umbrellas all around. There's also 2 big slides that are perfect for older kids and adults. There's something for everyone! Drinks are super reasonably priced and entry was $15 for military or veteran and $20 regular admission. We really enjoyed our time there, I like that there are servers and how easy it is to just order from the QR code at each table. Each pool (kid and bigger pool) has a bar nearby, service was extremely friendly and the ambience was exactly what we needed on a hot Texas day. My only critique is that their piña colada wasn't the best but I could probably do with a little less sugary drink anyhow lol. Keep in mind that the parking area is a block away from the park, they do offer a shuttle service but it's an easy walk as well. We walked there and shuttled on the way back since the driver was waiting and available. We didn't check out the actual beach but that's next in our list! read more

I went here for a private event and had so much fun! Great location, easy to get to from Austin and love that they are ecologically minded.

I LOVE this place! Super fun place. A lot of people don't even know it exists. Great wings, great vibes, lots of fun for all ages! read more

Volente Beach Water Park - Water Parks Near Me - Leander, Texas

Volente Beach is a smaller, local water park right on Lake Travis -- super fun for a summer day! They've got slides, a sandy beach area, and pools for all ages. It's not as overwhelming as the big water parks, which makes it nice for families with younger kids. Check ahead for hours and bring towels and sunscreen. read more

Frighteningly good time at the haunted water park! Highly recommended for everyone! The food the staff, all the time and effort to put all those decorations up! Think the haunted sea wreck captain was my favorite! read more

I found this place randomly. I was with my 3 kids and it was one of those 100 degree days. Paid at the entrance. Put our stuff on a table under the trees in the shade and spent the entire day going down slides. I absolutely love that the water is not chlorinated and comes from the lake!! The bungalows across the street looked really cute next time. I would stay there because when you rent one, your admission to the park is free. They had a little bar in there that served food and drinks, but we really did spend most of our time on the slides. The park is not huge but it has that family feel, like not so corporate you know. Anyway, my kids still talk about that place to this day a core memory for sure. Will be back. read more

Great way to end a summer! Volente Beach has been a staple of Austin lakeside recreation for decades. Fair food and drink prices and a great way to get some energy out of the kids. read more

Volente Beach Water Park - Water Parks Near Me - Leander, Texas

We enjoyed the food, the tables and atmosphere. The regular pool was fun; all the same depth and good for medium sized children with natural, unchlorinated lake water. However, our favorite part of water parks, the reason we don't just stay at the hotel pool, are the slides. I was super excited to enjoy the day wih my slender-built 10 year old son with the taco, toilet bowl, and two regular slides, but we both got stuck on the enclosed slide. We each had to push ourselves through from about 10 feet in. Then, when my son asked to go on the other one later specifically, he was told no he had to go on the enclosed one by the life guards. He had the slide mat, and got stuck again. After that, I did not trust going on any of the other slides. All in all, a good place to go if sticking in slides is not a deal breaker. read more

Extremely unprofessional owner. Very dismissive of concerns and safety for customers. read more

We've been invited on barges that leave this water park several times and each time we have been greeted by friendly staff. Great at giving directions for parking and the new pay machine at the entrance is easy to use and makes paying for parking easier. We need to spend the day at the park and not just using it for the barge. read more

"A boutique waterpark" is what the lady at the admissions booth called it... PERFECT!! Lol. I wasn't really sure what to expect from this place after reading the Yelp reviews and listening to the word-of-mouth reviews, which almost all seemed to be pretty discouraging, but I'm so glad we decided to go anyway! My fiance and I decided to visit on the 4th of July. Parking was decent; plenty of space, accessible, and within reasonable walking distance from the park. Figuring out where the actual entrance to this place was, was kind of a challenge though. There were no obvious signs that instructed interested patrons to "PURCHASE TICKETS HERE." Because of this, we accidentally entered through the restaurant and took the scenic route all around the park, before backtracking to the front where we were finally able to sign waivers, pay and put on wristbands-- that was annoying. We changed (no mirrors in the restrooms, ladies!! Ugh!), rented lockers, and took to the waterslides. Now folks, because this is a "boutique waterpark," you're not going to find the plethora of slides that you would find at a Schlitterbahn, for instance. No folks, you get 4 slides. They were entertaining enough, and no massive crowds or lines on a major holiday, so that was plus for sure! The really fun areas were the pool (lake water with some chlorination) and the beach. The beach area is small with a limited amount of beach chairs, but large enough to enjoy a nice float or swim with your family and friends (inner tubes provided). For the babies, there is a separate kiddie pool. Overall, I'd say this place is fun for all ages and an all around good time, as long as you're not trying to compare it to an average waterpark, because that it is not... it's a "boutique waterpark", people... lol!! Love that. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back. read more

Do not fall for the way they make this place sound online. It is a run down dirty place. We went for "Jaws on the water" movie and each paid $45. They said they will not be selling as many tickets this year because of Covid and we would be social distancing, but we were packed in the water like sardines. They mention several bars and restaurants, but there was a food truck with gross hamburgers, a tent that 2 ladies had set up with fajita tacos and the 2 bars with lines a dozen people long all afternoon and 1 bartender. They told us to purchase armbands so once in water, a waiter would come by and get our drink order, however, we did not see not one waiter and we held our neon light up most of the movie, thus we were each left with around $22 worth of armbands. Once movie was over, hundreds of people and their tubes are rushing to get out and it's pitch black. They had no lights to turn on so we could see where we were walking. They are all about the $$$. read more

Volente Beach Water Park - The beach, sand, boats - Water Parks Near Me - Leander, Texas

I dont know what is up with all the poor reviews. My family and I love this water park. It's perfect for my kids and I love that beachside Billy's is close with their awesome food and drinks. We come here all the time and especially enjoyed the July 4th firework show. The only thing I dislike is when you're trying to call the park to figure out if it's open and no one answers the phone so you drive there only to find out it's closed. They should have automated system telling you hours of operation along with days it's open since they have random off days. read more

Super fun place for my family! Only taking one star because the water in the pools was pretty dirty.

Only giving this place two stars because the ticket attendant and bartender were quite polite. It was a 45 minute drive for us and certainly not worth it. We just to came here for the beach, as this was going to be the first Beach my toddlers had been to. We just wanted to make Sandcastle's and play in the sand. We could not find the 'Beach' and upon asking we were told there is no beach this summer as the tide has not come in. *That SHOULD be stated on the website* The pirate ship was way to dangerous for my toddlers to play on so that only left us one option which was the other swimming pool. IMO It is not made for toddlers. It is super slippery around the pool area, very sharp and dangerous pool edges and the pool bottom was incredibly slimy. Also, there are so many inclines when walking anywhere and steep hillsides that just go straight down to a plummet with no fence or rope to (even somewhat) block it off.. so you have to 100% keep your small child with you at ALL times. I would ABSOLUTELY NOT recommend it here if you have small children. read more

This place is very underwhelming. The pool water is very dirty which is even more disappointing since the lake has been so low this summer. I would wish the pool was taken better care of when the beach isn't really an option. read more

This is a mellow family waterpark with a nice setting. 20/$ is high considering the size of park and the 7/$ parking rate seems silly.....especially on slow days or entry after 4pm. Check it out after 4pm for discounted entry...that's a more reasonable fee for what is offered. Staff is very friendly. read more

This place truly is fantastic. I am. It one to give many water parks a 5 Star. But this one was definitely worthy of that and more. Friendly staff, very clean and safety conscious. Weights for different slides truly didn't take longer than about four minutes and this is on a 95°F day in June when everyone in South Texas is trying to cool off. The restaurant is completely off the chain, and did I mention again how clean this place is? Last time I was at a waterpark and South Texas, there were more use diapers abandon on the water side then there were native plants decorating the banks. One will not find that at this location for certain. read more

The swimming area here is the cleanest I've found yet in/near Austin. At $20pp though, it's a bit steep just to go swimming. For $5 more you can do the slides. We bought the pass but the mats are low quality and don't necessarily stay put, so it was a lot less fun than tube-d slides at Schlitterbahn. The parking area is a little far and very rocky/hilly, and it sucks that it's an extra $7. That's true for the landscape there in general. There is no sand in front of the swimming area. It's rocky af and not somewhere you want to be without (water) shoes on. The swimming area backs right up on to where people dock their boats and where rentable party barges take off, so you may get some free entertainment by way of the music/DJs they have on those. The bar area is pretty neat because it's outdoors, has a full bar, and has an actual resort feel. The swimming pool is usually packed with kiddos and the slides aren't that great, but the bar and lake swimming area get high marks from me. Still, I was so impressed with how clear the water was, we decided to buy the $50pp season pass, because it pays for itself in two visits. On the way out, though, I saw you could get a second visit for $12.99pp if you paid for it while exiting from your first visit, so if you think you'll only come twice, keep that in mind. read more

This place is AMAZING! I love that it's connected to the lake. It's perfect for a family day by the pool, grab a pizza at the restaurant and let the kids run around, riding the sides. Our new fav go to summer spots read more

I was really disappointed that my family and I paid $75 for the 3 of us for a rocky "beach" a tiny pool and water slides. Plus they were allowing toooo many people in. read more

We had fun but there are only five rides. A lil kids play area and a crazy poool that was loud and full. It seems a bit outdated but ok for the price. read more

What I love about Volente Beach is the lack of lines for slides and entry. You're not fighting over a spot on the beach or a picnic table. I also love the U shaped slide! Just thinking about it is thrilling! What I don't love about Volente is the lack of upkeep on the slides. One of my friends got a piece of the slide up his fingernail while riding it. They give you little yoga mats to prevent this but when you hold on to the mat, you're setting yourself up for some slide splinters. They didn't really offer any help with it either and just reminded him that he signed a waiver upon entry. I also don't love that the sand volleyball court has about 2-3 inches of sand over concrete with large and jagged rocks scattered throughout. Several of us walked away with bloody knees and elbows from learning about the lack of sand depth the hard way. It just seems that if someone put a little more care and attention into this place, it could be epic. Until then, it's kind of a death trap with bells and whistles. read more

I spent the last weekend here with a group of friends and am still trying to wrap my head around how amazing it was. All staff members are cheerful, welcoming and accommodating, the restaurant is great, views are beautiful, park is fun and has something for everyone, and the convenience is unparalleled - everything is easily accessible. We rented out the lake house and I would highly recommend it. Very nice place, comfy beds, any kitchen gear you might need, large patio, TVs, etc. It is located just steps from the restaurant, convenience store (great prices), sand volleyball courts and the marina for boat rentals or chilling on the dock. Big shout out to Adam, who hung out with us quite a bit, Alex, Kara and all the other staff that made the weekend great. Keep up the good work. read more

Awesome atmosphere for the whole family ,staff was super friendly and owner came around to ensure everything was perfect for our day.

Dirty pool, not enough chairs to sit. The beach has rocks and full of sneaks: bring some sand. And they won't let use the mat for the pool. No towels. read more

This is not your BIG water park! This is a small park with natural shade, a few slides, and lots of room to relax! We have been to the big parks and have to say we had more fun at the little park by the lake! The adults in my group played water volley ball, the kids spent all day on the slides! Restaurant and bar on site! All around a very nice little water park!! read more

The staff was very nice. The drinks at the bar, super. The pools use water from the lake. I believe that the park HAS made upgrades it was not as run down as previous reviews stated. The young lifeguards were also attentive (unlike other reviews have stated) they must have hired more responsible employees. We went in July. Bus loads of tiny campers unloaded right before we were going to spend a nice relaxing day at the park. I did not see any little ones take restroom breaks. I am convinced the water turned more yellow as the day progressed. (Do they use chlorine?) My older teenager would not go in the water. You may want to call and ask if any camps or day care centers are scheduled to go there the day you go. Ps: My husband warned me that the port a potty was disgusting, right when the park opened in the morning?! I think real little kids would like this park. Food: The 3 meat eaters in my family got sick from Beachside Billy burgers. I recommend the bean and cheese nachos. We almost left the restaurant because the employees were having a meeting at a table, and did not acknowledge us for a long time. The Slides...I was too afraid to try the skateboard ramp looking water slide because most adults almost touched the very top of the slide. There is one slide that the kids call 'the toilet bowl' because you end up in a part of the slide that looks like you get flushed down a toilet. My younger teenager hit his head on it. I had to sit up and push myself down 1/2 to 3/4 of the 'slow water slide' and I am an average size adult. Last but not least sanitation. The cloth covered lawn chairs...eeew. Stained and dirty. Bandaids and litter. I wanted to enjoy myself, maybe if we went at a different time? The most enjoyable part for me was going to the private beach and standing on the steps while little fish tickled my feet. I hope you have a better experience if you decide to go. Much love. read more

Great place but the parking ?? I mean come on now if I can't even bring my own drinks spending my money to get a drink I'm sure y'all could invest in better parking structures this is ridiculous............... other than that great place to chill with the family read more

Best park ever and one of the only if not the only park Where u can swim eat and have drinks in one spot, great food and many pools to choose from as well as the actual beach, , We always come here with our large group and everyone is so happy they can everything in one spot specially the food, there is ALSO a limo company called West Campus Limos that we always use that can bring you here also for only $10 per person in a LIMO read more

Oh brother this place is CHEEKS. Looks nothing like we saw online. From the bathwater they have in all 2 of the attractions to the subpar restaurant they have this place is 5 stars in terms of being underwhelming. Mediocre at best 1/10 would not recommend read more

The Ultimate Bachelor Party destination. The staff was very welcoming to our group despite never dealing with a group quite like us. We were proud to help set new beer sale records, while still being rather respectable. The water volleyball court could undergo some enhancements as there are some spacing concerns but overall net durability was solid. Water also seemed a bit low in the pool, but not a major concern. Food was amazing although it seemed like they were a little short staffed and young. I did not partake in the slides, but I've never seen some of my friends smile like that before. Transportation to and from was a little difficult, might need to consider a partnership with Uber in order to grow. I know a guy. Overall, great experience, add this to the list of best bachelor/bachelorette destinations in Austin. read more

I've only been here for fireworks, but I thought this was a fun little beach park. It's small, quaint, and fun. It had just what we needed. The beer wasn't overpriced and everyone was super nice and helpful. read more

Took my 2 teens and 1 elem for a end of summer fun day today. It's a little weathered but my kids loved it. Spent all day on the water slides and there are plenty of shady places for just hanging out and enjoying the lake breeze. However, be aware that some of the young adults who work there are charging more for some things then they should be and possibly pocketing the change. Example: at first my daughter didn't want to use the slides so she just got a beach pass (12.99). Halfway through the day she decided to upgrade to a water slide pass (19.99). When she went to pay her 8.00, they said it was 10.00. When I went to ask about it, the girl working started to say they only had one upgrade button, but smartly realized I wasn't going to buy it and said "I can just give you your $2 back?" I said yes, and she easily opened the cash register and gave me my money. Scammers? IDK, but it was kinda fishy. No pun intended read more

With the horrible reviews this place has, I felt like I needed to write a good one. The place is definitely not that bad. I think expectations just need to be changed. This isn't schliltterbahn. This isn't sea world. It's a small, local water park located on beautiful Lake Travis. You get some fun rides and slides, plus relaxing picnic areas, sand volleyball, and access to the lake. If you want a relaxing day by the lake, this is a great place to go. I've been going here since I was a kid and it's definitely with coming out every now and again! read more

Way too expensive. It is a very small place with a couple of cool attractions. Park is not set up well but they have no choice since it is in a very bad location. I have been twice but wont go back. I can spend money other places and have a better time. Not a real waterpark. Poser. read more
