Next to Moody Garden and Scholes International Airport, this extension of the Schlitterbahn brand is an indoor/outdoor water park for year-round entertainment. The indoor Wasserfest section is open year-round, while 2 outdoor sections are open during the summer. Most rides start from a river that runs from the highest point in the park to the lowest, with a conveyer belt to take tubers back to the top.
