Like any major city, Houston has amusement parks. The largest and most popular of these is Astroworld, located across the freeway from Reliant Park and the Astrodome. Waterworld is also connected to Astroworld and is included in the price of admission. Because of the nature of Houston's weather - really hot and really humid - there are several water parks from the above Waterworld, to Splashtown to Adventure Bay and The Reef.

Adventure Bay:

Adventure Bay is a water park designed as a slide water park with most of the attractions being rides. Where parents can take their kids and let them have a great time passing those long summer months. It is the only water park in Houston that includes an UPHILL water coaster. Quite a feat of physics that, but a fantastic ride. There are thrill rides such as the "Gulf Stream" or parents can take their children down the "Rio Lento" or Lazy River.
The Reef
4800 Schurmier Rd.
Houston, TX 77048

The Reef, unlike Splashtown and Adventure Bay, is more like a lake with fun activities. It is a natural lake with living fish. It is a 20 acre lake with grass, trees, picnic areas, volleyball courts, an 800 yard swim course, scuba diving, a family beach, a children's activity beach and docks.
