We love Water Parks in Texas. Memorial Day is especially exciting as many of our outdoor water parks open that weekend and the kids are out of school for the Summer. Texas has some great outdoor and indoor Water Parks.
Some Outdoor Water Parks in Texas open early in May and stay open at the weekends during September. Indoor water parks in Texas are open year-round. They are ideal when the weather is too hot or too cold to enjoy outdoor activities. This applies especially to our seasonal weather in Texas.
