Five Things to do with Small Children at Schlitterbahn Galveston Island

May 28, 2016 By Callie 4 Comments

Galveston,TX

Summer is gearing up and I’m constantly amazed at how many fun things we have in the Houston area.

Schlitterbahn is an amazing water park with numerous locations in Texas. I was excited to find one so close to us in Galveston. Now we have a little-a threenager so I was hesitant to bring her but we are adventurers. I was worried there wouldn’t be enough for us to do. Boy was I wrong.

Here are my top five things to do with small children at Schlitterbahn, Galveston Island.

1.Torrent Beach Kids Area-Torrent Beach Kids Area is an area just for littles with chase loungers for parents. The area includes small slides and waterfall mushrooms perfect for entertaining the littlest guests. This area is also considered inside or rather in a completely covered area so no worries about burns!

2.Tiki Tikes–This is an outside area with loungers and shaded picnic areas. All small tikes areas have roughly 1 foot of water. This section boasts two slides perfect for young children and loads of water gushing out everywhere from tikis to water pipe “breaks”. Children are allowed to ride on parents laps down the slide as well.

3. Treasure Island Kids Pool– This outside area boasts a ginormous pirate ship full of slides and water features. Large enough for splashing around and lounging for grownup.

4. Wasserfest Kids Area-This smaller kids area is located in the inside covered are of the park so no burn worries. This kids area has a smaller pirate ship with four small water slides, dumping buckets and waterfall mushrooms.

5.Mix Your Own Icee and Watching Kristal River-Who doesn’t love an icee? At Schlitterbahn you can get  an extra long clear icee cup and fill it with a rainbow of flavors and just sit back and watch all the people enjoying the lazy river. I found that when we needed a break our little loved watching all the big kids on the slides.

I was honestly surprised at how many areas Schlitterbahn had created for small children. It really is a family fun park.

Parking is free and it’s close, our walk was minimal. Floaty Vests are available at the park to borrow for small children so if you don’t want to lug your floaties around you don’t have to. Is your little a thrill seeker? Well they can ride most large slides sitting on your lap-you brave souls!

Row was the one screaming no, no, no as I drug her out of the park. So there you have it. Don’t think that’s enough? How about you see for yourself? Schlitterbahn is giving away free passes to readers! Just enter below for your chance to win 2 all day tickets to any Schlitterbahn of their choice.

Houston Happenings-Schlitterbahn Galveston

Are you gearing up for summer??? We are and although Row isn’t in school yet I am always looking for fun summery things for us to do and one of the benefits of living in the Houston area is there are a ton of things to do all the time.

On my list is Schlitterbahn. I’m looking forward to all the things that we can do with a preschooler and I’ll be posting after we go!!!! Let’s be honest having a preschooler isn’t like having a big kid so fingers crossed-but I’m pretty confident she’ll super love it and what am I looking forward to-the lazy river for sure!

Oh and this year just happens to be the 10 year anniversary of the opening of the Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Waterpark: Built in 2006, this water park is located on historical Galveston Island and has been voted as the World’s Best Indoor Waterpark for 8 straight years. This park features more than 33 attractions and a mile long Transportainment River system. To celebrate its 10 year anniversary, Galveston will be unveiling a new ride, which will be the world’s tallest water coaster – MASSIV!

Best Indoor-heck yes-no sunburns-no reapplying sunscreen!

It’s on!!! At Schlitterbahn! Visit Schlitterbahn’s page to plan your trip and enter to win free passes!

Keeping Sun Safe

October 22, 2015 By Callie Leave a Comment

Can I just start this post by saying it’s literally still in the 90’s in the Houston area. It’s crazy! We Row is a big outdoors person and as a result I’m out there too. She literally wants to be outside everyday which is wonderful. I’m also worried about the affects the sun has on her skin. I noticed this past year when looking for swimsuits and outdoor wear I just couldn’t find many long sleeved options and then I stumbled upon UVSkinz.

UVSkinz is a company with sun protection as it’s main focus. UVSkinz offers a wide variety of cute, colorful and comfortable clothing and swimwear for all ages and their clothing has a UPF-ultraviolet protection factor of 50+. Think about that for a minute….

Check out how cute this get up is?

The clothes went easily on Row-no fussing and they felt really nice. The top was not heavy but rather cool and allowed her to move freely for outdoor play.

How cute is the skirt with built in bloomers-easily fit over her diaper too.

Row was able to be comfortable and play in and out of the water and I knew she was protected. I really appreciate the fact that her UVSkinz outfit can be worn for outdoor play and for swimming. It looks just like a sporty little skirt set and yes we completely ran to the grocery store in this outfit after she played in the water. The top and skirt dried quickly too.

UVSkinz also offer bucket hats that are reversible for outdoor play. Now as a Mama I really appreciate this because apparently retailers only make bucket hats for infants. I’m so glad I found a place that is concerned about protecting Row from the sun as much as I am.

Now I do have to say that while wearing your UVSkinz you still need to apply sunscreen because obviously they don’t cover everything…..but they cover more than anything else and are darn cute. I love the variety of options and the quality of their products.

I may have my eye on a cute sun hat for myself now. Just saying.  I mean it’s still 90 in Houston.

Happy Fall Ya’ll! Oh and stay sun safe.

I received products from UVSkinz to review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
