I think it's smart to arrive about 15 minutes early to help settle in and get your goggles adjusted—everyone else seemed rushed, which added to the stress.

My advice is to bring your own towels and snacks. The café was a bit pricey, and I could have saved some cash by preparing ahead.

I suggest visiting during the weekday mornings if you can. It's way less crowded and you'll get more one-on-one time with the instructors.

if you're planning to eat there, my advice is to bring some snacks and drinks. the food is tasty but can be pricey, so save some cash for the big rides instead.

Check out the lazy river early in the day! It's super relaxing, and I think you'll want to float around before things get too busy. Plus, it's a great way to chill between the bigger rides.

I suggest downloading the Typhoon Texas app before you go! It has real-time wait times for rides—definitely helps you plan your day better and skip those long lines.

I recommend arriving right when the park opens at 10 AM to snag some good seats and beat the lines. It gets crowded fast especially on weekends!

I recommend checking out their schedule for family swim times before you go. I went during an adult swim session by mistake and missed out on some fun with my kids!

I recommend booking your session online to avoid long wait times especially on weekends. I waited too long and missed a couple of runs!
