Schlitterbahn Waterpark utilizes the natural flow of the Comal River to power a massive network of tube chutes, water slides, and wave pools across its sprawling grounds.
The original section of the park incorporates the cool, spring-fed water of the Comal River into its rides, creating a unique environment shaded by towering cypress trees. Visitors navigate a complex system of interconnected tube chutes that wind through the landscape. The newer sections offer modern water coasters, multi-story speed slides, and large wave pools. The park spans over 70 acres, requiring a tram system to move guests between the distinct areas.
Yes, guests are allowed to bring their own coolers with food and non-alcoholic beverages into the park. Glass containers and alcohol are strictly prohibited.
The original section of the park uses unheated, spring-fed water from the Comal River. The newer sections feature chlorinated, heated water in their pools and rides.
The park operates a free tram service that continuously shuttles guests between the original section and the newer Blastenhoff and Surfenburg areas.
