Texas heat can be sweltering, but there are more places to cool off aside from traditional water parks and local rivers.
There are several inflatable water parks around Texas where you can beat the heat.

- Texas Ski Ranch is less of a water park and more of a giant slip and slide, but since it’s so close to San Antonio it’s worth mentioning in this list. This is expected to close after July 4.
Hours and pricing vary by location. There are also height and age requirements for some water parks and their respective rides. Please check the individual park policies before visiting one of the Texas water parks to ensure a fun family visit.
