Check out the New Wet n Wild SplashTown (USFG)

Disclaimer: This post was sponsored by US Family Guide Bloggers Program




When I was a child, we spent a a few days each summer at SplashTown. I loved the wave ride and the lazy river. I have not been back to SplashTown since the early 2000s but it is a great time to take the kids back and let them experience the magic of the water park.
















Wet n Wild Splashtown is Houston's largest and closest water park with over 80 acres of fun. The park offers something for everyone with rides, which include the Tornado, RipQurl, and Texas Freefall. Experience the new attractions, which include Big Kahuna, a thrill raft ride, which takes you on a white water journey filled with alternating tunnels, twists, and turns. Or try out Wet and Wild jr, an interactive ride for children of all ages. Children can also improve skills on FlowRider double.

Schlitterbahn (toddlers and tweens in two from a special needs perspective). US Family bloggers



I am participating in a campaign by US Family Bloggers. I received free tickets, in exchange for posting about the Schlitterbahn. This week's topic is Toddlers and Tweens in Tow.

  • The promo code for the 2 day $7 Off discount is 299000334 
  • The promo code for the $5 off discount is 299000335
  • Valid at ALL Texas Schlitterbahn Parks!

I got the tickets in the mail today. I told my mother, simply because we need a ride there, with the extra ticket for her. Her response: She wants to take my niece, great niece, nephew, and herself instead, of Stacie and her boys, not knowing the babies (my youngest and great niece) are free. Her main reason was it was a water park and I will not let my kids go near the water, which is correct. Last week, they went to someplace called Kemah. Kemah's water area is too close to a real ocean (which is a safety issue, if Brad decides to jump off the edge during a meltdown). The folks asked me to go (at the last minute) hoping I would say no. I like to find places to keep my kids included so they can have fun too. So, my mission is to find something for special needs kids to do at the Schlitterbahn. So, first I went to the water park website for Galveston, Texas. 

THINGS I LIKED:
  • You can bring in your own food
  • Free parking
  • Free life jackets and inner tubes, based on availability. Can bring in your own personal life jacket.
  • Super Splash Cash--wrist watch which is loaded with money you need to spend in the park, without carrying your wallet or purse. 

ATTRACTIONS I LIKED:
  • Wasserfest Kids area: The attraction offers low speed and shallow water. I also liked how the website said the area is more for supervised youngsters, the disabled, and partially health limited guests 
  • Tiki Tikes features kiddie slides in a shallow water. The area also has water sprays.
