Went last summer and was just reminiscing on the terrible time I had. Extremely overcrowded, and the cafeteria was JAMMED. I got in line for an hour just to be met with "there aren't any more cheeseburgers" as I saw them on the warmer behind the cashier. I had to ask someone at the pickup area to exchange my item for a cheeseburger, even though I paid extra for the non-cheeseburger item. The cashier originally refused and ignored me. Crowds were unacceptable and unsafe. Water felt like lotion. One pizza was $40. Just shut down if you're that desperate read more

This place is bad. Go to the one in San Antonio. It's better, gunner and the employees are nicer. It's in six flags if you're wondering -w-

They are closed and still charging membership fees! Stop stealing ! In your contract is a address to write the lawyers at the NYC location. I suggest everyone do that same thing read more

It's obviously going to be really crowded all the time because it's the summer time and everyone wants to be in some kind of water during the Houston heat! The lifeguards are for the most part always paying attention and they follow their guidelines in what's safe and what's not. The only thing that sucks is that not ALL the employees are always helpful or willing to help. Other than that, it's normal to have long lines at a water park in the summer and it being packed ! read more

I had fun, but was just blown away with the prices and my personal experience. It's $40 entry, $10 to park and $10 for a locker. This price includes all day PLAY. Meaning if you want to exit park, go to lunch you can reenter the park at no additional charge prior to closing. If you plan to go again ever in the open season it's only fiscally proactive to purchase a season pass. Be sure to bring picture ID because there is no debit card transactions. I had to park pretty far but there was a free trolley like every 5 minutes, hallelujerrs! I went on a Sunday early afternoon and although I didn't feel too crowded while migrating the playground, every ride averaged a 15-20 minute wait or longer. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT wear your good flip flops or swimsuit cover up because most rides you will have to remove. I wore my pink ADIDAS flip flops and someone decided to take only my flip flops from the flip flop pile. This was beyond desperation, but they don't have anyone monitoring everything they enforce you to remove. After that I couldn't think about anything else and been looking at folks feet since I left park :-! The staff at this park were helpful, patient, courteous and friendly. My tip would be to instead of getting a locker, purchase a waterproof phone pouch which you can wear around neck (they sell at water park and Bed Bath and Beyond) which will fit your Phone, cash/credit, ID, and key. This will save the over priced locker rental fee. Also prior to trip go to McDonald's or HEB and get the coupon for $8. These run out quick during weekends so get early if possible. Final tip: Be sure to try the Brain Drain with dropped floor before all rides. Once you do this ride you'll be prepared for anything else to come.

With the Astroworld/Waterworld combo park bulldozed into a parking lot, only one theme park option is left for Houstonians, really. Sigh. Poor Astroworld. I grew up going there, using both the rides and water park - but it is no more. Splashtown is a fine water park but is kind of a disappointment after season passes to Astroworld got you all of these water features plus the Greased Lightnin'. I'll admit, though, I am far too chicken to do a lot of the water rides. While I'll go upside down in a roller coaster, you can't put me in a dark tube and push me down through the rushing waters. And, the Tornado, forget it - I cower before it and then make a bee-line for the lazy river. It's not that Splashtown itself is bad. It is just adequate though. The rides and premises are in dire need of an upgrade and the park isn't big enough to really sustain interest for the entire day. If there were only something new to do every once in a while... Luckily, admission is much less than the park down in Galveston and this one is closer. So, if I'm feeling a need to tube on the lazy river, Splashtown it will be. But I still miss my theme park. read more

Wet 'n' Wild SplashTown - Amusement Parks Near Me - Spring, Texas

Can you beat a water park in 90+ weather in hot/humid Houston? I think not!! However, it is a bit pricey for just a day trip (200.00+ for entry and some food for 4), if you go early and stay the whole day - you can get your monies worth. They unfortunately do not allow you to bring in food, but you can bring in water bottles - thank goodness. You do have to pay for all the extras (tubes, lockers, cabanas) if you want to go that route. It is a large park with several fun rides. The lines can get long and seem slow however, even during the weekday! The ground gets HOT HOT HOT, so I do recommend wearing sandals or water shoes. There are lots of places to put your things and I didn't have trouble with people touching stuff. There were a lot of teenagers running around, but during the weekday we went, it didn't seem too bad. They do serve beer and frozen drinks as well, to help you cope with all the kids around, LOL. Some areas of the park seemed cleaner than others. Overall I wasn't blow away by this place, but the family had fun together and stayed cool in the Texas heat, so it was a win. But for a 45 minute drive for us, I think we'll stick to some other parks that allow you to bring food and drinks in. read more

This was such a terrible experience! Don't come here, do your self a favor and go to another water park. Every person that worked here had the worst attitude ever. It was like a requirement that you must have bad attitude to get a job at this water park. They were ridiculously extra for no reason. When you are about to get on a water ride, they demand you to get in the right body movement, for example to cross your legs and put your hands on your chest. Literally screaming at you. Not just one person, all of them. The wave pool was non-existent, they would do 5 minuets of waves twice the hour. So you only experience 10 minuets total of waves in the whole hour. Parking your own car cost $10. Food is over priced but that's expected at an amusement park, won't come here again. read more

This park has a major acid spill and they still won't give our money back even though we weren't even able to dip our feet in the waters before the spill. The park is old overcrowded and pretty bad in general. I just want my money back. read more

Splashtown DUD! I am so immensely disappointed in this place. Granted, the rides are cool and I've had good times here in the past. However, there customer service and "no rain check policy" sucks and needs to be revamped. A group of friends and I came last Saturday for a private party in one of the pavilions. By the time we ate & got ready to get on some rides, Splashtown closed all of them without explanation. Our first stop was the wave pool. As soon as we stepped in, they ordered everyone to exit the wave pool. They never said why. After 30 minutes, I looked up and the sky was dark so I assumed they shut everything down due to weather. However, again, this was not communicated to the guests. After an hour of all rides being shut down, it started to pour down raining so we took cover. Most of the patrons started leaving and some of us went to customer service to see if we could come back another day, since we had just arrived and not been able to get on one ride. They said, "No. We don't give rainchecks". I was extremely unhappy. Why would you continue to sell tickets & not tell customers about potentially bad weather, that the rides are shut down and no rain checks will be issued. This is extremely bad business! You can be assured that I will NEVER return to Splashtown on my own dime, unless and until this policy is changed. read more

Worst employees ever. They all were very rude the front parking man we had asked were to park when we arrived and he said " does it look like you park here ? There's no one cant you see dude " then tube rental girl didn't even speak when we wanted to rent a tube she just moved her head back and forth then we asked a question about that tube and she didn't even acknowledge it she rollled her eyes and looked away. We bought the 20.99$ all day cup and received a broken one. Workers wouldn't allow our younger children to go on rides even tho they were much over 48 inches. read more

I had a fairly pleasant experience here, but the park is very small. Tickets were about $40 and you have to pay $10 for parking. Food options are of the junk food variety (chicken tenders, burgers, pizza, etc.), and you can purchase a refillable souvenir drink bottle like the one in photo. Be sure they put an orange band around it though because that's what tells cashiers to give the free refill on the day of original purchase ($1.50 throughout the season). read more

First let me say that I rarely give bad reviews (cause normally I feel bad haha) but this was so outrageous, I had to. I go to Splashtown once a year because it is so close to where I live but my last trip was it for me, I will not be returning. I decided that I was going to bring my friend (who is still in high school and a little overweight) and after paying $10 for parking, $36.99/ea. for tickets, $6/ea. for tubes, and $8 for a small locker we set out for a fun day in the water. We stand in line for one of the slides and once we climb all of the stairs we reach the top where there is a (young, probably in high school) park employee and a scale. He asks my friend to get on the scale so he can weigh her (in front of other park guests? How rude! ) After weighing her in front of a group of people he says, "You're too heavy to ride this ride, you'll have to go back down the stairs." The limit is 200 lbs., my friend was 206. Really, you embarrass her for 6lbs.? She was extremely embarrassed as people snickered while we descended the stairs. I was mad but I wasn't going to let that ruin our day and, after a lot of convincing, we tried going on other rides with no success. Finally after trying 4 different rides I got fed up and we collected our things to leave. I asked for the park manager on the way out. He was nice enough when I explained what happened and he even apologized. When I asked him why we were not informed of this new change BEFORE we bought tickets or why the scales were not at the bottom of the slide as opposed to all the way at the top, he didn't have an answer. So I simply asked for a refund and he quickly explained that it was "corporate policy" and that he could give was vouchers for our next trip but he couldn't refund our money. Why would I bring my friend back if she couldn't ride any of the rides? Needless to say we walked out without any reimbursement for our purchases (parking, tickets, tubes, or locker) and I will NOT be returning. Splashtown was never my favorite water park, with hot sidewalks, rude staff and high prices, but I lived with it because it is so close. Not anymore, I would rather drive all the way to Schlitterbahn than spend another CENT at the poor excuse for a water park. The ONLY redeeming factor is the life guards are always on alert and it seems safe for kids. read more

I've been coming to this water park for the last 20 years. The best I've experienced was when it became wet n wild (before it became six flags). This year is by far the worst I've experienced. Staff is friendly but needs a lot of training. Too many rides are closed. It takes about an HOUR to get a meal in the food court. The food menu is very poor.I really hope six flags corporation pays more attention to this water park!!! read more

If you weigh over 250 DONT GO HERE. I celebrated my daughters birthday &!spent almost $500 between a cabana rental, food & parking to have all these restrictions thrown in my friends face. A simple solution to the weight limit on rides could go as follows: A) let guests know AHEAD of time BEFORE booking about weight restrictions. We would have never came to this park if my friend couldn't ride ANY tube rides. Literally. Or B) have a scale at the bottom of rides so people don't waste an hour in line to do a walk of shame at the end of it instead of enjoying themselves Staff was rude ! Our waitress was the only pleasant employee we encountered. I will never go back. Ever. read more

Splashtown was a really fun water park and I don't mind going there again. Some of the workers there are sorta of rude and when asking them a question they don't even answer they just nod their head...honestly your job isn't that hard, you guys are basically near water and at least you can do is have a little bit of spirit. When me and my family were going into the lazy river, there was these workers saying its close now rudely and we were like, oh we thought it closed at 6 on a weekday and the guys was like "HELL NO". And first of all you don't speak to an adults like that because we are you customers and if you want us to come again... Talk to us in a polite way, saying oh I'm sorry this place closed at 6 or something. read more

Save your money! The park is mediocre at best but the rude employees will have you running away. I paid $7 for chips and velveeta and when I asked for napkins I was thrown 1! I asked for more and realized the cashier was on her cellphone!! Are you kidding me?!? I don't think I saw a single employee over 17 and the were too busy chatting to answer a simple question. I regret buying a season pass sight unseen. read more

The service is terrible. It took 1 hour for us to be served At the bar area. I tried to get the girls attention and was ignored and was not asked if I needed anything. The staff is very unprofessional. I do not understand why the people who work here would have this job if they clearly do not want to do it. Also the management is terrible. We have season passes and will be the last time we get them. Also did not have cups available that come included with the passes. Very disappointed in six flags. read more

For it being the only water park in Houston it is acceptable. The entry price ranges from $35-$37 for adults, plus the $10 parking lot fee. The park itself is very well kept, I have been coming here since I was a kid! I enjoy it very much, the rides and pools give you exactly what you are looking for. There are areas to just sit in the water and relax others include fun sections with monkey bars, and then slides that get you peeing in the water lol. The food is expensive, I only purchase dipping dots ice cream, since I live 20 minutes from here I eat before and after leaving the park. I have had a great time with friends and also a wet fun day with the boyfriend. Tips: -wear water shoes because the walk paths and floors are EXTREMELY HOT during the summer. -go to the park early to find close parking spots. -try to go early just in case it gets packed that way you'll have time to get on the rides you desire & also to stay long enough to make those $35ish smakaroos worth it! read more

I will admit, I am surprised how pleasant my last couple visits @ Splashtown. Throughout my visit all staff members have been courteous, outgoing, informative and with a great sense of humor! Who doesn't like to be around positive people? WE DO! Honestly I hate to admit this but I was a bit worried due to my weight limit that I would be limited to some rides but I was so refreshed to know that I can ride ALL rides even the small toddlers ones since my daughter is only 3 and needs an adult with her. (So yes I did feel safe and I would understand why they would have a weight requirement for some). The park seems very clean, again I am surprised by the cleanliness. Crew members are constantly walking throughout the park cleaning the park. Guest services is definitely a highlight when we went. The ladies inside were going along with my sense of humor and had an awesome PMA both positive and professional which that is a huge plus since last thing I'd want is spend $400 worth of season passes and have this lady acting as if she's annoyed by our presence....No thank you! The only obstacle that prevented me from rating 5 stars would have to be the restrooms. Ok, I understand that tons of people walk through and use it all the time however restroom duty @ Splashtown should have its own staff just to have the restroom up-keep constantly from the dirty toilet paper on the wet floor. As far as the season passes, they are totally worth it! Since my kids are finally at the age where they can enjoy coming to the park, I will not religiously buy season passes every year, but next time as early as May to take advantage of the steep discounts and free promos! read more

I've seen some pretty negative reviews but my family and I love this place! It's clean and the staff is friendly and the slides are fun and we all have a good time. The food is surprisingly good for an amusement park but the prices did go up a fair amount this year - inflation I guess. I recommend biting the bullet and renting a cabana whenever you can, it's expensive but I've never regretted the expense. Food and drink is brought to you (4 meals are free), tubes are included in the price, 4 bottles of water, a locker, 4 towels and a sunblock rounds off the deal. And a good time is had by all... read more

Wet 'n' Wild SplashTown - View from our cabana. - Amusement Parks Near Me - Spring, Texas

Splashtown was bought by wet n wild co and seriously turned this place into a DUMP so many pepole it's redicluolus the only thing lazy about the lazy river is that there lazy to clean it. Watch out in the wave pool or you might get hit with a wave of band aids , pee , and pubic hair(s) . Some rides are closed because they were deemed To dandreous like the drain was closed because it had a plastic side and a man got a 18 inch laceration on his arm . The water is shocked with enough clorean to sterilize a whale , parking can cost you up to 15$ prepare to come with a lot of $$$ the lockers cost from $20 to $45 . Hungry ? $15 nachos served !!! Save your time and money (and health) and just pass this place up and go to shliterbond . read more

Came here yesterday on a Sunday and apparently there was a "Latin festival" that I wasn't aware of, so they charged extra because of it and my cousin was 49.5" which was 0.5" more than the required height to get child price. Are you freaking kidding me!!! We came here right when they opened so we could beat the afternoon crowd, but so did everyone else! Waited 1+ hour for one ride!!! It was like 95 degrees!! The lines move so slow! Not even worth it. Will not come back! This place is dirty!!!! Over priced! And you can't even bring you own food like schlitterbanh, and parking isn't free, again, like schlitterbanh!!! What a waste of time this place was. read more

Badly managed park,no one there seems to know what is going on ever.They just had a major chemical spill in one of their pools I think and made a bunch of people sick had to go to the hospital with hazmat and all ,careless.Would not recommend,go to Typhoon Texas or Schlitterbahn instead. read more

I have never been with out a school group, so this review is from a school sponsors point of view. I have been taking kids to splashtown for the last six years and every trip has been an enjoyable one. Great group rates, catered lunches, open several Friday's in May just for schools, really work with you on payment (check, cash, and additional tickets day of), and life guards are quick and always watching. The first aid/emt's are always walking around. I have had students hurt or rescued twice and I have been more then impressed with the level of safety that the park enforces. If I was going to go with out a school group, upgrading to a season pass is the way to go. It will pay for it's self in one visit and I believe includes free parking. read more

Expensive even with the coupon. I'm sure it's to help pay for the new face lift that Splash Town just underwent and they did a great job. Plenty of rides for adults and kids. For the price I paid for admission, I know next year it's worth to get the season pass. Food was blah and way overpriced! I paid $4 for a small coke and when I asked for a refill they said they don't give refills unless you get the mega large cup for over $10! Rip off! The Marble Slab ice cream I had was almost $9! For ice cream people, really ? Anyways, we had an awesome time. I guess in the end, you pay for the experience. I spent over $200 just with 4 adults and 1 child. read more

Went here on a July Saturday with friends and nephews. I heard about the rennovations, and was intrigued by it since I haven't been here since I was a kid. We were able to get tickets for about $25 each with some discount. Now I've read the mixed reviews, and know of it's reputation as being ghetto. However, we didn't wanna drive to New Braunfels for Schilliterbahn so this was the alternative. I had moderate expectations, and the waterpark pleasantly surpassed it. We had a lot of fun, the park was clean, and there were plenty of rides to keep us entertained. The park was not empty nor overly crowded, so I felt like it had a good crowd and the lines weren't overly terrible. The rides were fun as well, and they had a good variety of things to do. My only complaint about my whole experience would be the constant breaks that the wavepool has every hour. Parking was $8 per vehicle. You can't bring food or drinks in (water is an exception). However, they do have a picnic area that consists of approximately 5-8 tables right in front of the park where you can grab a bite to eat if you brought your own food and left it in the car. You can exit the park, grab your food and eat at picnic area, and re-enter when done. Wish we knew that beforehand, but it worked out well because we had Rudy's BBQ for dinner, which is literally right next door to Splashtown. Overall, we all enjoyed our trip to Splashtown and would definitely come back! read more

I take my son and a crew of his friends here every summer and we've always had a great time. Renting a cabana is the way to go and totally worth it. They offer 2 options with the cabana rentals that might include food, towels, sunscreen, bottled water, tubes and a waiter. After you total everything up it has tremendous value. As for parking, IMHO $10 to park for 6-8 hours isn't bad, it's what you pay downtown for any venue worth seeing. We usually arrive when they open around 10 and stay until 5....perfect way to spend a summer day:-) The establishment is clean and overall it's a pretty relaxing place to take the family for a summer outing. read more

This great water park in Spring Texas is fun for everyone. Lots of activities for people of all ages in a great family atmosphere. This year brings FREE PARKING and the new StingRay Racer, a very exciting 6 lane mat racer. New food items are available such as fruit, cold sandwiches and roasted corn. So for some fun in the sun, Splashtown is the place to be! From just getting some sun to relaxing in the wave pool and lazy river to riding exciting slides, Splashtown is the perfect place to visit with the family on a hot summer day! This year brings added security to the parking lot and the park ensuring a day of family fun! read more

It's not the best waterpark we have visited. But I think it was lots of fun. The kiddie section was perfect for the younger kids. Well-kept also. Went early and got a shady spot right near the kiddie section. Saved money from renting a cabana. I highly recommend when visiting Houston. Would not mind stopping again while visiting family. Worth the money. read more

Who do I contact to get my $$$ back on a season pass since you guys anit opening back up? Even if you did wouldn't go back....

Well, here's the thing...I normally am a Schlitterbahn fan. I went to Splashtown, cause its closer. I was highly disappointed. You have to pay for parking, which sucks. Everything is just kinda old and smells of mildew. I will continue to drive to Galveston to go to Schlitterbahn!! So much better and well worth it! .... the only good thing is the kids liked it, but what kid wouldn't? read more

My husband and I took our 6 yr old daughter for her birthday. We are both adventure seekers and love rides. We didn't get to go on all of them due to our daughter being too scared to even go near some of them, but not to fret as we bought season passes. Overall the park was clean. We spilled popcorn by the cafeteria and the people were right there cleaning it up. The food wasn't half bad for park food. I had a salad and it was sufficient. Because of health reasons, we were able to bring in some drinks and fruit to keep up blood sugar and they did not give us a problem. The rides were awesome. Yes the wave pool isn't what it used to be, but my daughter loved it! We did the lazy river sans tube and it really encouraged her to swim more. We floated along and it was great. Our favorite rides were the Brain Drain and the Purple ones. Thunder run was super exciting for our little family and so was the kids areas. They have awesome little rides and she loved it!!!! We had no problem finding a little area for ourselves and yes the lockers are expensive, but we made sure to walk back every 90 minutes to reapply sunscreen, get a drink and watch the riders on the freefall get wedgies! Overall it was a great time and we will be going back several more times this season! read more

Don't use their restrooms neither women nor mens are clean. They are absolutely disgusting, they stink so bad. Specially the ones near the kids pool area. Their commercials states to come see the new Wet n Wild Splashtown. I don't think Wet n wild in Spring Tx has passed an inspection. Kids pool area, white waterslide there's slime on the floor very slippery and dangerous, don't let your kids go by themselves they can slip and fall from the top of the stairs. Kids area baby slide padding is peeling off. You can see white foam coming apart. read more

Not sure why the recent poor reviews! We really enjoyed the water park today(Fathers Day)! The park was clean, well staffed, patrons were respectful. The new slides were nice, lines moved quickly. Plenty of seating, picnic tables and shaded areas that are at no cost. Very kid friendly. Lots of under 48" activities. DJ was great and very interactive with everyone. Music was pleasant. Overall experience with fantastic. Only recommendation I would have- lazy river needs tubes. If you want a tube, you have to rent it. Oh and the wave pool produced big waves! A true wave pool :) read more

Took my kids out of school for the day to come here and that was the best decision. With so many kids still in school, there were virtually no lines and we were able to ride everything on the park. There weren't any places to eat inside the park though since all of the workers were also still at school. Didn't bother us a bit though. There was an Icee stand open that was good enough for us! read more

We bought the season pass this year. We are really excited about it and are looking forward to the newest attractions. We have always enjoyed our visit to the park in the past. This year we plan to spend the weekend that are sunny at splash town. We also got a free parking pass with our season pass. Which I am sure is going to come in very handy. I will update this review as soon as we experience the newest attractions. read more
