Description

Schlitterbahn New Braunfels delivers four expansive sections packed with waterslides, rivers, pools, and splash zones for all ages. From heart-pounding thrills to toddler-friendly water playgrounds, this award-winning Texas waterpark balances excitement, relaxation, and family fun across 70 sprawling acres. Each zone features a children’s area, signature attractions, and even a swim-up bar for adults.

Home to more than 45 attractions—including some powered by spring-fed Comal River currents—Schlitterbahn offers an unmatched variety of rides and slides. The Original Section features miles of natural river tubing routes, while Blastenhoff is known for the iconic Master Blaster, an uphill water coaster unlike any other. Adventurers can float through wave rivers and speed down high-adrenaline chutes, while younger guests splash safely in interactive play zones found in every corner of the park.

Now open, Schatze’s Storybrook Park redefines family fun with the world’s first water coaster for kids—a mini version of the legendary Master Blaster. This expanded children’s area spans three themed worlds: Fur-Bidden Forest, Fairy Tail Trail, and Storybrook Park. Kids explore six new body slides, 70+ interactive features, water cannons, spray toys, and a 1,200-gallon tipping bucket that thrills and drenches in equal measure.

With four times the number of rides found at most regional parks—and double that of any park within 500 miles—Schlitterbahn New Braunfels earns its title as the “Hottest, Coolest Time in Texas.” Whether you’re chasing waves or cooling off with the little ones, there’s no better way to beat the heat.
