A Family Fun Summer Activity

While the Rio Grande Valley has plenty of activities that families can do; however, during the summer these activities are not that fun because of the extreme heat. There is one place how ever that does not suffer from heat, and that South Padre Island. Being located on the coast South Padre often has a cooler temperatures, compared to the rest of the Rio Grande Valley. Therefore, many families will go the island. However, one of the most famous family fun activities on South Padre is Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark. Schlitterbahn South Padre Island is one of several water parks owned by Schlitterbahn a company based in Texas. The park in South Padre has many rides which you can ride. Including the Tempest, Storm Chaser, Sea Blaster, and the Gale Force. Much of the park is traversed by riding flowing tubes through a river, but it also has many land activities, such as restaurants and even some land rides. There is also beach access through Schlitterbahn and even a own hotel that one could stay at. Over all I would say that Schlitterbahn is a great time for the whole family and a must if you plan to visit the South Padre.
