TEXAS CITY, Texas – Crystal clear water might not be what immediately comes to mind when you think of Texas and its beaches along the gulf but there’s a 12-acre lagoon near Texas City that looks like it’s straight out of paradise.
Lagoonfest Texas is a Crystal Lagoons amenity outside the Lago Mar development in Texas City that opened in May 2021 at 3240 Lago Mar Boulevard.
The area originally opened in 2020 as Summer Lagoonfest but rebranded after a $2.2 million upgrade and the addition of more amenities like an entry plaza made up of 16 shipping containers that have been turned into a restaurant, several bars, an entertainment stage and several rooftop party decks.
“Lagoonfest Texas offers something for every type of vacationer,” said CEO of The Lagoon Development Company Uri Man. “Whether you want to relax under a luxury cabana or keep active kayaking or testing your agility on our massive floating obstacle course, you can do it.”
Kayaks and paddleboards aren’t the only things available for guests. There is also a floating obstacle course, a 5-story waterslide, a catapult swing and an electric ferry that transports people to a VIP luxury beach experience, according to a Lagoonfest spokesperson.
Tickets for Lagoonfest Texas start at $20 for adults, $15 for children ages 3-13 and children age 2 and younger are free. Prices vary depending on demand and the day of the week you’re looking to visit. Tickets can be purchased in advance here.
If tickets are sold out online, that means that particular day has sold out and more tickets will not be available.
Lagoonfest Texas is open for the season and typically closes in September.
Texas City is a roughly four-hour drive east of downtown San Antonio and is located along the Texas coast.
