Beat the Heat at Typhoon Texas in Katy this Summer

Growing up in a small town has its perks, but it also has its drawbacks. Small town life is simple and a much slower pace than the big city lifestyle. As a kid, the highlight of my summer days consisted of hanging out at the indoor high school pool or setting up our own waterpark in the front yard with friends and having a good time in the water. When we weren’t doing those water activities, we were swimming in the ice cold rice wells north of town. Even though we didn’t have a water park near us, we found ways to enjoy fun in the sun in Katy, TX.

Since we moved back home (after my husband ETSed our of the military in 2005), coming back to the City of Katy only seemed like the right thing for our boys. They could reap the benefits of a simple, small town atmosphere with big city convenience while also receiving one of the best educations the state of Texas has to offer. Oh and let’s not forget, they could also have the opportunity to play Katy football with the 8-time state champions. Go Tigers!

While all these things have been great, we have watched our little town growing into a population greater than the city of Pittsburgh with the surrounding Katy area growing. With all that growth, comes new business. New businesses, like Typhoon Texas and it’s been a great thing for the City of Katy, TX.

As a second-year season pass holder, I can tell you it has been well worth the investment, giving our family the opportunity to create more family memories of having fun the sun.

Most of our boy’s friends have season passes as well so they can meet up with them in what I feel is a safe environment without having the watchful eye of mom or dad over their shoulders. After all, they are teenagers and need to have a little more freedom to grow.

Typhoon Texas Rides

Typhoon Texas has rides for all ages which makes it a great family destination for the West Houston area. You can enjoy the Texas Twister where raft goers experience a serpentine adventure before zooming up a Texas-sized boomerang wall, the Duelin’ Daltons with its seven-story, free-fall slides, the eight-lane Lone Star Racers, the winding waterslides of the Snake Pit and the thrill of the Typhoon, where the fun of a winding waterslide collides with the exhilaration of white water rafting.

Plus, the tiniest of waterpark-goers will experience hours of fun at Typhoon Texas’ Gully Washer play area with its 800-gallon water bucket, more than 100 spray areas, eight platforms, seven different slides, elevated walkways and rope bridges.

I just got back from dropping my boys off at the water park. With all this talk about what Typhoon Texas has to offer for families, I’m going to join them now. So if you’ll excuse me…I’m ready for some in the sun at Typhoon Texas!

Hope to see you there this summer season!
