Hawaiian Falls Water Parks in Texas

With its enormous size, large population, and brutally hot summers, it should come as no surprise that Texas has plenty of water parks. Among the state's most popular and largest places to cool off are the Schlitterbahn water parks, including the original, flagship location in New Braunfels as well as other sites. But there is another chain of Texas water parks offering relief from the heat and humidity along with waterslide fun: Hawaiian Falls.

The Hawaiian-themed parks are smaller than the ones operated by Schlitterbahn and generally don't offer the same number or variety of attractions as their Texas rivals. Also, Hawaiian Falls typically do not offer flashy water park features such as uphill water coasters or funnel rides. But, they are plenty big in their own right and have enough slides, thrills, and wet diversions to keep visitors of all ages happy.

Note that Hawaiian Falls used to have a location in Pflugerville, but it sold the park to another owner. It now goes by the name Typhoon Texas Austin.

Tickets and Admission Policy

Daily passes to the individual parks are available as well as season passes which include admission to all of the Hawaiian Falls parks. Reduced prices for seniors and children. 2 and under are admitted for free. The parks offer group rates as well as birthday party packages. Guests can also rent private cabanas. Click on the listings below to check on any special offers the parks may be offering.

Food

The parks offer snack stands. Hawaiian shaved ice is a specialty. Note that visitors can bring their own food, but the chain's policy forbids cooked or prepared meals as well as "homemade large dinners." Note also that Hawaiian Falls will search coolers and other bags upon entry and will charge a $10 fee to guests that bring food and/or beverages into the parks.
