Located in New Braunfels and Galveston Texas, Schlitterbahn is a one-of-a-kind waterpark that has created a category all its own. Back in 1966, along a spring-fed river in the Texas Hill Country, Bob and Billye Henry, along with their three children, started to develop the idea that would soon turn into the world’s first water resort and one of the best ways to spend the summer.

This idea became what is now known as Schlitterbahn, America’s first family waterpark. Envisioning a park that combines water fun and resort-style accommodations, Schlitterbahn is the perfect getaway for every family.

Take a weekend and sit poolside or get adventurous and ride some of the most intense and thrilling water slides you’ll ever slide down. Hang out at Kristal Cove or float around in a tube on Kristal River. There is even a swim-up bar for when the kids stay at home.

When your fun in the sun is done, get prepared for the most essential part of any vacation, shopping! Whether you choose to stay in Galveston or New Braunfels, make sure to make some time for some of the best stores these cities have to offer. Once the shopping is taken care of head back to the resort and get a good night’s rest to so that you’re ready to go at it again the next day! No matter where you are in Texas, there is a Schlitterbahn in a city that is calling your name. Don’t miss that call!
