Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort

“The World’s Number One Waterpark”
-  Travel Channel

Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort is the #1 Waterpark in the World for 10 Consecutive Years. Not only is Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort the most popular summertime waterpark in the United States, but it is also ranked as the #1 Kid-Friendly destination in the state of Texas. The park is located on the banks of the spring-fed Comal River in New Braunfels, between San Antonio and Austin, in south central Texas.

One Park, Many Parts

Schlitterbahn New Braunfels is divided into two parts (East and West), separated by several city blocks.  Free parking is available at both locations and a free shuttle between the two areas.

Schlitterbahn East is further divided into two themed areas; Surfenburg, built in 1991, and Blastenhoff, built in 1996. In 1994, Schlitterbahn opened the first ever uphill water ride, known as the Dragon Blaster. Since then, they have added several other uphill water coasters, the Master Blaster and the Family Blaster. The Master Blaster in particular has often been voted as the best water ride in the US by travel publications and is frequently mentioned on the Travel Channel as such.

In addition to these water coasters, the New Braunfels park now boasts over 3 miles of inner tube rides, 7 water playgrounds for children, 17 water slides, and the world’s first surfing machine (Boogie Bahn, which is used by both professionals and casual visitors).
