Top Texas Water Parks to Cool Off With Your Family This Summer

After last year’s hot summer of solitude, we all deserve a ride down a cool lazy river. Lucky for us – there are more than a few places not far from home where we can soak up a little sun, dip our toes in the water and surf some {chlorinated} waves. For the young and the old, a water park is guaranteed enjoyment. If you are in the market for an H2Outing, look no further than here for deets on the top Texas water parks.
