Quick Facts

⭐The Falls is branded as the World's Longest Waterpark Ride
⭐Schlitterbahn East and West sides are connected by a short tram ride and share the same ticket, effectively creating two major park sections accessible in one visit
⭐The park allows guests to bring their own food and drinks, with free picnic tables available throughout (most shaded)
⭐Master Blaster is a major attraction featuring an uphill water coaster surrounded by a wave river

🕐Arrive early or visit on weekdays in May/June to avoid long lines during peak summer (July-August). If visiting during busy times, consider staying late in the day or purchasing a Fast Pass, as lines remain long all day during peak season.
💬Bring your own cooler with food and drinks to save money—on-site food is expensive and not highly rated. Use the free shaded picnic tables throughout the park as a home base to store belongings and take breaks.
💡Plan to explore both East and West sides (connected by tram), but avoid the tram during early afternoon when lines get very long. Consider staying on one side on busy days to maximize ride time without excessive tram waits.
💬The lazy river (Torrent River and Kristal River) and wave pool areas handle large crowds well and are good alternatives when major ride lines are long. The kiddie area lazy river typically has minimal wait times.
💬Check ahead before visiting as major rides like The Falls may be closed for extended repairs. Resort guests get early access to certain areas on specific days—check the website if staying on-site to maximize your advantage.
