Get Your Splash on in San Antonio

Sure, the 4th of July 2024 is well behind us. And yes, the ads on social media and on television have been focusing on back-to-school items and fashion for weeks now. But let’s be honest- this is Texas. Although stores might be starting to line the shelves with pumpkins and Halloween goodies, it will still be blazing hot here for multiple more months. You’ll still be capable of getting a wicked sunburn long after everyone north of the Mason-Dixon Line has declared it “officially fall,” which means you still have loads of time to bust out your bathing suit and soak up the rays.

San Antonio is a great spot in south central Texas to enjoy the final weeks of summer before everyone is back to school and starting to plan for the exciting lineup of fall holidays. Not only is San Antonio home to one of Texas’ most iconic pieces of history, the Alamo, it also has great family entertainment destinations SeaWorld and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. But San Antonio is also a city with a number of fun water parks that will leave you wishing it could truly be summer forever. If you’re ready to enjoy the next few weeks of warm weather in Texas, look no further than these fabulous water parks that promise a wet and wild good time. 

Six fun water parks in the San Antonio area

• Schlitterbahn– According to its website, Schlitterbahn is the “World’s Best Waterpark.” It features four distinct areas and so many attractions you’ll want to stay multiple days just to enjoy them all.
