Fodor's Expert Review Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark
South Padre Island and Port Isabel
City Park
Are you and the kids growing weary of the saltwater in your eyes and the sand in your swimsuit? This popular park with two other Texas locations as well (Galveston and New Braunfels) offers chlorinated water relief. Highlights are a huge sand castle–themed play area and America's largest surfing machine. Schlitterbahn also has a swim-up bar and a restaurant. (You can bring your own cooler, but no glass or alcohol.)
