General Park Questions
For the best experience, visit Schlitterbahn on a weekday. If you must plan your visit on a weekend, we suggest weekends early or late in the season, or on a Sunday in late June, July and early August. Saturdays in late June, July and early August are the most popular days to visit the park, and you may experience longer waits for admission and attractions and limited availability of picnic tables, loungers and tubes. Whenever you do choose a day to visit, plan to arrive early -- Schlitterbahn is a big place and you'll want to experience it all.
For the best discount, purchase your tickets in advance, online. Special discounts available for groups of 15 or more. Learn more about group programs.

You are more than welcome to bring your own family picnic basket and cooler inside the park. Guests may bring coolers that are smaller than 26”L x 16”W x 16”D. Glass and alcohol are prohibited. Coolers are subject to search prior to entry. Schlitterbahn Galveston Island also offers a wide variety of fun foods and beverages throughout the park for those who do not wish to bring their own picnic.
Shaded seating is provided throughout the park, but we urge everyone to protect delicate skin from the sun with sunscreen, hats, beach footwear, and lightweight shirts. You may bring these items with you or purchase them in one of our gift shops.
During the summer season, our park offers a limited number of cabanas that are available for advance rental on a first-come-first serve basis. The cabanas are located in the Blastenhoff area of the waterpark. Private cabana rentals are not available during the Wasserfest Season.
Life jackets are available for use throughout Schlitterbahn. Life jackets are complimentary and are available to any guest wishing to use one. Children, first-time swimmers and weaker swimmers are encouraged to wear a life jacket. Life jackets are available for all guests needing special consideration. Some attractions require guests below a specific height to wear a life jacket before participating in the attraction. Aquatics staff and lifeguards reserve the right to impose the use of life jackets as needed. Specific attraction requirements can be found on the accessibility page. Guests are permitted to wear their own life jacket; however it must be Coast Guard approved.
We do have a limited number of kid's tubes, or tubes with bottoms. Kid's tubes are complimentary and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Schlitterbahn Galveston Island has attractions for smaller children in every section of the park, so there is always something to do.

There are even more slides and attractions designed with toddlers in mind in the Torrent Beach Kids Pool and Shipwreck Harbor.
Schlitterbahn uses an attraction rating system for all water attractions. An information sign is posted at each attraction entrance with ride descriptions, thrill rating and skills required for riding. Riders must be at least 42 inches to experience the Dragonblaster, Loopy Luge and Guada-Loopy tube chutes and must be at least 48 inches to ride Rohr!, Faust and Furious, MASSIV and the Screaming Serpents.

Please see individual attractions for specific information on weight parameters.
Schlitterbahn will remain open on most rainy days; however, in the event of severe inclement weather, such as lightning, heavy rain, or high winds, Schlitterbahn attractions may need to close for the safety of our guests. In the event rides do shut down they will reopen as soon as it is safe. Since the waterpark remains open most rainy days, we do not offer rain checks or refunds.
Make sure the kids who are old enough to be on their own know when and where to check in periodically for sunscreen and drink breaks. Schlitterbahn does not page for lost parties. Children should be instructed in advance that, if they do become separated, they should notify a Schlitterbahn employee. All separated parties will be taken to the nearest Guest Services location.
Changing areas are located in the bathrooms at the main Castle Village. Please be sure to bring swim diapers for infants. Regular diapers are not permitted in any pool or attraction. Swim diapers are available at the gift shops.
