Schlitterbahn Waterpark and Resorts

Schlitterbahn Waterpark is a 65 acre water amusement facility consisting of 3 parks in New Braunfels, TX, split between 2 plots of land. Schlitterbahn Main Park (Castle Entrance off Liberty Street) and Surfenburg/Blastenhoff (Union & Lincoln Streets- the old Camp Warnecke). Schlitterbahn West (Main Park) utilizes fresh water from the natural Comal River, and the East Park utilizes treated water from New Braunfels Utilities.
