Holiday Splash at Schlitterbahn features new attractions
Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Indoor Waterpark is a popular summertime activity, but through Jan. 3, the park closes its convertible roof and transforms into an indoor waterpark during the holiday season for Holiday Splash. Guests can enjoy a sprinkle of holiday cheer while making a splash at this indoor waterpark.
Holiday Splash is offering two new holiday-themed amenities with the Snow Globe Float and Bahn Borealis Light Show.
Snow Globe Float gives guests the opportunity to float in their tubes through a giant holiday-themed snow globe as you conquer the tidal waves of the Torrent River.
Bahn Borealis Light Show is an indoor light display that is animated to the tune of Christmas favorites. The Bahn Borealis Light Show will have five shows throughout the day, at the top of the hour starting at noon.
Holiday Splash also includes other amenities such as Surfing Santa, Ornament Factory, Holiday Characters, Reindeer Games and Gingerbread Playland.
The indoor waterpark follows the Schlitterbahn tradition of innovative family fun, with floating, surfing, splashing and sliding for guests of all ages.
The Boogie Bahn surf ride allows guests to surf on an ocean-like wave using a bodyboard. The Torrent River provides an endless float through tidal waves and currents. Other attractions at the 70,000-square-foot indoor waterpark include four tube slides, three speed slides, a heated pool with a swim-up bar, a secluded beach with crashing waves, and three activity areas for kids containing a variety of water elements and pint-sized slides.
Parking is always free, and guests may bring their own picnic baskets and coolers inside the park. No glass or alcohol is allowed. Use of inner tubes, life jackets and bodyboards is free.
Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Indoor Waterpark is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends and select holidays, Oct. 17 to Jan. 3, and March 6 to April 10.
