Schlitterbahn
Schlitterbahn Review
The entire family will have a fun time at this water park, located on the bay side of the island. Schlitterbahn features speed slides, lazy river rides, uphill water coasters, a wave pool (with surfing), and water playgrounds for the little ones. There's even a heated indoor water park for chilly winter months. During summer, less expensive afternoon-only rates are in effect, and ticket prices drop in the off-season. Actually closing times do vary by the season, so outside of the busiest months of June through August, verify closing times on the park's web site, or call for exact hours.
